• New user here, being a bit of a showoff, hopefully not too spammy

    From Patsie@youtube@patsie.nl to comp.lang.awk on Tue Mar 29 00:46:48 2022
    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.awk

    Hi all,

    Long time awk user here who hasn't really read this mailinglist, but I was looking for fellow awk enthusiasts to share my code with.
    Hopefully I won't come across as too spammy on my first post, but I'd like to share my latest creation with you and who knows, maybe get some feedback.

    Recently I finished writing my first old-skool style 'demo' in awk, which took me a while to complete. I hope you all like it and as said feedback on the code is always welcome.

    Ps. the rest of my github repo is also full of awk stuff :)

    If you'd like to post some code for peer review there's a forum for that
    at https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/awk. Not sure
    how much participation it gets though.

    I haven't inspected the awk stuff behind the link but generally I'd
    say that he can post awk code (and specs or descriptions) also in this newsgroup (c.l.a). I share the doubts about interest and participation especially since there seems no description (neither in the post nor
    at the webpage) what this demo is all about.

    For something like "Hey, I have something cool, just click it to see!"
    there's probably better places, though.

    I'm sorry you feel that way. I thought both my post here and my github page were quite clear on what this code is about. Namely an "old-skool style demo". If that doesn't say anything to you, then that's OK.
    The github page even has a video of what the code does.
    I just thought that fellow AWK enthusiasts could appreciate the effort that was put into this. But it seems that I was wrong.

    I'm sorry to have posted here and will not do this again. Goodbye.

    I'm sorry you feel that way. I thought both my post here and my
    github page were quite clear on what this code is about. Namely an
    "old-skool style demo".

    I have never heard that term and the term doesn't tell me anything.
    (A "demo" is [for me] a demonstration of something, but your post
    or webpage doesn't tell anything about what it demonstrates.)

    If that doesn't say anything to you, then that's OK.

    (I can only speak for myself. Other's opinions may differ.)

    The github page even has a video of what the code does.

    This is exactly what I meant by
    "Hey, I have something cool, just click it to see!"

    It may be a modern mindset to get informed by [time consuming] videos
    or presentations, but for a Usenet newsgroup a simple explanation is
    more appropriate. - Please take that as a well-meant hint, not as an
    offense or anything.

    I
    just thought that fellow AWK enthusiasts could appreciate the effort
    that was put into this. But it seems that I was wrong.

    How can we appreciate the effort from your post? - Yes, your thought
    was probably wrong. - But you could simply fix your post by providing
    some more (more substantial) informations. Is that so hard?


    I'm sorry to have posted here and will not do this again. Goodbye.

    It's your choice. Youtube, Twitter, etc., might be better media for
    you, though I doubt you find the awk expertise there. Probably Ed's
    hint could be the right place (can't tell). - Whatever you decide to
    do given the hints you've got; good luck anyway.

    Both "Janis" and "Ed" are total buzz-killers. Their motto is clearly "If I don't have anything nasty to say, I'm not trying hard enough".

    You should just ignore them (I have both killfiled)

    See above.

    I have killfiled neither, not you, nor Ed, so I see that
    you responded in your last post (just two days ago) to a
    posting of Ed. - Not that you'd have anything substantial
    to contribute in most of your posts, usually anyway only
    the well known sociopathic offenses.

    You posted something, got no responses here so to help you out I
    suggested another site where you might get responses. Janis pointed out
    it might be hard to get responses on other forums too and why. I think
    you're reading something into our responses that just isn't there as
    there's no need to apologize or declare you'll never post here again.
    No, I'm sorry but I don't know what "old-skool style demo" means.

    Both "Janis" and "Ed" are total buzz-killers. Their motto is clearly "If I don't have anything nasty to say, I'm not trying hard enough".

    You should just ignore them (I have both killfiled)
    I'm sorry to have posted here and will not do this again. Goodbye.
    See above.

    Right, because my response to the OP "If you'd like to post some code
    for peer review there's a forum for that at https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/awk. Not sure how
    much participation it gets though." was nasty.

    What a pile of crap, you're constantly posting your usual inane
    responses to both of us (which of course I only see when someone else
    replies and forgets to trim out your drivel).

    For anyone who cares - as always with their postings, I've no idea what specifically Kpop is referring to above but some time ago they posted
    some wildly illegible code on stackoverflow. I commented that it was
    hard to understand and they hadn't actually asked any question and they
    lost their mind ranting about how I was too stupid to understand it and claiming they'd invented some vastly superior way to do something and
    going so far as to find an account I had on another web site and post
    this bizarre message there (no, I've no idea who "that Rauch whatever
    guy" is or what they did to also offend Kpop):

    "bwhahhahah this is so hilarious you're damn worthless you had to go
    find your pals like that Rauch whatever guy to bully me cuz you realized
    how useless you are as engineer, and got called out for it. Having the audacity to make bold proclamations how i made no sense, when in fact,
    it's your utterly lacking brain that's on display here. i'll wear it as
    a badge of honor. but i do suppose life is rather fair, seeing that
    you're stuck in chicago bwhahahahhahahahahhhaha"

    I'm glad to see Kpop and Kenny, the most killfilled person on usenet
    since Alan Connor, are getting along - they deserve each other and my
    killfile now has 2 worthy denizens.

    Ed.
