ninjac0der··on Why does Apple continue killing bitcoin apps?
Try reading what was said without the apple dicks in your ears.
ninjac0der··on Show HN: Codewars
Outstanding user experience throughout the account setup, I will continue playing with this as it's quite enjoyable so far. Thanks for sharing.

#edit it's kind of sad (and telling) to see the complexity and cleverness in the higher ranked solutions.

#edit2 rampant regex solutions, nested returns, oh my.

Because more regulation is a good idea when education about the problem is this low...
ninjac0der··on Your code may be elegant, but mine works
So the key is making the right call for the situation, which brings me back to the point, managers are not the ones maintaining the code.
ninjac0der··on Your code may be elegant, but mine works
... and as expected, it's always the manager, not coding types that state this so aggressively. I know the servers are beefy at OmniTI, so I suspect there might be a code problem related to handling the load.

If I see sloppy code, or have to write sloppy code, I move to another company, and will continue to do so. So how's that employee turnover rate (hint, use the internet archive and check the about us page)?

Better to just make them feel 'naturally' unwelcome in this sick ecosphere of over-socialized nerds? Systems of re-enforcement like this are akin to the worst kind of intellectual inter-breeding.

God, someone can post 'Seriously?' and get a hellban and I cannot? Look in the mirror you sad fucks. I still have 312 "points" from you idiots. Try harder.

Nah, the time has passed for stuff like that. It's time to wait for a reset. The intelligent people tried to warn the rest of us long ago, no one cared then, fuck the rest of you now that it's too late. I'll only do anything to speed up the reset... and I doubt the rest of 'you' will be ready for that until things have once again gotten so bad that something else will needed for success.

#edit hellban request denied then, I guess. Thanks idiots, it's your site afterall.

I would like to request a hellban for my account, please? I think it's what I've wanted from this site all along, to be able to feel like I've address this sad group of over-engineering fools without the social consequences.

So you agree, it's racial and derogatory in it's nature.
ninjac0der··on Obama’s Changes to Government Surveillance
What he said is true. Heck, it might have even prevented people from (re-)electing Obama if more people realized this. I have no idea what your problem is.

History indicates to me that they're one and the same and will work together for the common goal of fleecing the masses.
ninjac0der··on CheapAir accepts Bitcoin
>If US economy tanks, all world economies will tanks, too.

I think in a few different ways it's possible this wouldn't be the case. Specifically in the event of an all out attack on the US, where the dollar might become useless while bitcoin could fair well. Regardless, I couldn't agree more about gas, drugs and other better doomsday investments, but I think bitcoin serves me in the short-term for more scenarios. I do however have a doomsday trade prepared, moonshine makin'! :D

ninjac0der··on What Are You Going To Stop Doing in 2014?
Thank you for providing so much debt to the discussion.
ninjac0der··on CheapAir accepts Bitcoin
If I lose all of my assets in bitcoin it's an acceptable loss. If the US economy tanks and I lose my dollars, I'll be pissed, because I saw it coming.

Second point is this fits my narrative. I will be quitting my job and moving out into a van sometime this year. I feel my only ability to effectively protest against the people of this country is to stop contributing. Bitcoin will serve me much better in this regard.

ninjac0der··on The Criminalization of Everyday Life
It shines that people now assume the 'nuts' just happened to be right. It time to bring back anti-authoritative thinking.
ninjac0der··on United States dollar almost doubles in value in a single day
I thought etanazir was being facetious, my bad. I guess I underestimated how many people can keep asking the same stupid question that assumes the dollar has intrinsic value while bitcoin does not. Usefulness is in the eye of the beholder.

If these people keep running around with blindfolds on, it might be time to put up some bumper walls.

ninjac0der··on United States dollar almost doubles in value in a single day
Useful only to those who have faith in the powers that manipulate it. Same could be said for bitcoin.
ninjac0der··on CheapAir accepts Bitcoin
That's not at all why I choose to use bitcoin. I'm not a spectator, I'm investing in something that has slim chances of success, but I'm idealistic enough to want it to work anyways. That's why I store some of my value there. So you were incorrect, while you seem to just be a spectator of bitcoin, realize not everyone else is. I feel just as secure investing in bitcoin as I do leaving value sitting around in the form of dollar bills at this point. So as delusional as I may seem to you, I think you've missed a lot of the reasons (some) people are clammoring for bitcoin. Also, the volatility means next to nothing to me in this respect. I bought in at what I thought was reasonable, refused to panic sell, and so far everything is golden, I've been up, I've been down, but not really lost any value at all... yet.

... or you've done it enough without being shamed from the public you represent, that it's something you feel comfortable joking about. Analogies are awesome.

I read the comments in this thread and realize for the most part, the US government can do no wrong. Then I realize you mofos are the real problem.

Wow, only one person I can agree with at the bottom. Must still be too comfortable at the top of the heap.

Oh wow, that totally disproves my comment while explaining the downvotes, doesn't it.
ninjac0der··on CheapAir accepts Bitcoin
So you would choose not to store your value in bitcoin because of it lacks usefulness to you. Thank you for expanding on your original statement, but I think I missed the response to the question. I however would choose to store value in bitcoin because of my own prejudice against the dollar, should I expect to see bitcoin to do better because of this?
ninjac0der··on CheapAir accepts Bitcoin
>With such volatility, you need to put a huge buffer in your pricing and only idiots and criminals will spend their BTC instead of paying with fiat in such case.

Then I have to say, I don't really think you see the real value in bitcoin.

I was under the impression bitpay-type services would deal with the transactions. How would the volatility be an issue in that case?

ninjac0der··on Ex-Napster exec fatally struck by sheriff's patrol car while biking
Sounds a lot like the observed behaviour of most bicyclist. No surprise to me that the two collided.

I must have struck a nerve.

ninjac0der··on What Are You Going To Stop Doing in 2014?
Yes, it would be much more comfortable to continue riding inside the machine that tramples others than to be the others. Perhaps the divide is how you see of our current global actions. Truly sinister, or just the actions of a jumbled congress/governing system.
