| Since my post hasn't broken any laws, and I haven't murdered anyone, or sent any bombs in the mail, let's give phlakaton the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith, that he's not making baseless accusations, and by "shitposting" he's referring to the actual convicted murderer Ted Kaczynski, who posted bombs in the mail that killed 3 people and injured 23 people. Unless he can cite any criminal codes I've violated or people I've murdered, I'll assume phlakaton is not just being histrionic and totally overreacting by calling my post "a disaster for Intenet (sic) discourse", or accusing me of murder. Speaking of melodramatic shitposting about network based disasters and the triumph of Worse is Better, from the Unix-Haters handbook which included a chapter on Lisp: Good News, Bad News, How to Win Big: The X-Windows Disaster: https://medium.com/@donhopkins/the-x-windows-disaster-128d39... >X: The First Fully Modular Software Disaster From The Unix Haters Handbook: https://web.mit.edu/~simsong/www/ugh.pdf >The Rise of Worse Is Better, By Richard P. Gabriel. p. 311. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix-Haters_Handbook >Contents >The book concerns the frustrations of users of the Unix operating system. Many users had come from systems that they felt were far more sophisticated in computer science terms, and they were tremendously frustrated by the "worse is better" design philosophy that they felt Unix and much of its software encapsulated. |
Give it a rest.
