You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
The author of the V programming language (amedvednikov) is melting down on HN because people called him out on his past meltdowns over legitimate criticism of the language (like, "it leaks memory like a sieve" or "the http module uses system() to call curl without escaping its arguments").

amedvednikov 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–]

All of the issues there were fixed several days ago, so it's no longer relevant.

Since it was another anonymous attack, it's not going to be updated and will stay like this for years.

And the issues discussed are questionable at best. Half the article is about a type checker bug, which was a 3 line fix.

Then false claims like being able to modify array.len.

"That isn't the appropriate trash receptacle."
until the v devs wrap their brains around the difference in communication between an aspirational todo list and a list of features they actually loving have implemented, v will remain a language by and for clowns

"check out my new language which solves the halting problem, cures cancer, has curly braces"

"at least 2 of those are false"

The v person is kind of dumb (especially listing things that aren't implemented as features) but also I'm surprised they're still sticking with it after getting mocked on the internet so much for years so I don't hate them

on the other hand, v person is the kind of rear end in a top hat who responds to valid criticism by accusing the critic of being part of a vast conspiracy to destroy v

(and there is a whole lot to criticize, lol. example: v claims to have no undefined behavior. however, the v compiler is just a preprocessor which translates v to c, then runs a c compiler. but v does little to avoid UDB in its C codegen - it's as trivial as writing an integer overflow in your V source)

What a great idea. Allow un-drugged, "natural" atheletes as a class, and allow "open" for those who choose to use chemicals or whatever to enhance performance. The rules on "cyber enhancements" should be good for centuries of pleasant and ultimately meaningless flame war.

I wasn't even mining for quotes, I just recognized the author by the third sentence:




"I suspect any developer reading this is aware of the DRY principle because it is just so ubiquitous."

What the hell is "DRY"? Why can't you just PROGRAM? We didn't need any of these "patterns", "principles" practices or who-the-hell-knows-what-else when we cracked software protections or coded intros and demos... 28 years later and coding on UNIX we still don't, and software runs just fine.

No "industry best practice" or methodology will help if you if don't have what it takes. I know the "Hacker" "News" posse hates to read it, but sometimes one just needs a good kick in the rear end to wake up; the rest won't make it.

I was going to reflect on how a gun that resembled an iphone might affect this conversation. I did a quick search and saw that they are easily available. So now as a Police Officer when someone takes a phone out of there pocket you have to immediately assess the risk. Am I going to be shot or recorded? Being in law enforcement is getting more dangerous by the day. drat.

I imagine that's one of those things like that bug in one bios company's bios where it wouldn't recognize the MBT and refuse to boot if it had partition sizes that weren't divisible by some number in the late 90's where if you were affected by it you're definitely going to remember it forever

that was less "people" and more "enterprise storage vendors" or so ive been lead to believe. not sure if they do it any more but the idea is that you'd stagger the MTBF of the drives so that they'd potentially fail months apart instead of weeks apart.
