kin3tic··on What It's Like to Get a National-Security Letter
God damn I so tired of this all.

“I did go home that night and over dinner with my family, I said, “Ask me what it was I did today, and remember my answer.” So my son, who was, I don’t know, nine, or something like that, asked me, “Daddy, what did you do today?” And I said, “I can’t tell you.” That was the only thing I said, and then months and months and months went by.

Just so utterly defeatingly unacceptable. This is not my America.

And shit talking Android and reluctantly admitting in each review that it's basically perfect but then stilling digging at it and boasting about how iOS can cure cancer.

Or in this case, who you'd literally least suspect: wmplayer. All hail wmv!
kin3tic··on Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Go
Wow, this displays a severe misunderstanding of how pointers work in general. It's not like the syntax for it in Go is any different, this code would look very similar in anything that has real pointers (C, for example), certainly in regards to the notation and syntax for pointers and references and such.

'I understand what a pointer is'. Questionable.

Nice choice of jump drive. It's so silly but I love it, it's simple and versatile. I've got it on a carabiner for easy access.
kin3tic··on Google Apps Disabled My Domain
This is an annoying stupid comment.

Yeah, let's ignore the success stories and the financial benefits because it what is sort of a race scenario, Google's support failed. This seems like a bug and resolvable as noted by others in the thread.

You have a really obvious chip on your shoulder.

It's almost like I went out of my way to judicially use the word "some" to ensure that I avoided doing just that.

And what the other guy said.

Though I'm an Apple user myself, the comments from Marco and Gruber and indeed some other Apple users reminds me of Christians in America - heavily imbibed with a misplaced persecution complex.
