> IC to mean integrated circuits is a very common acronym, and right in the center of the HN focus.
Wrong. IC is for hardware. The center of Hacker News is software, NOT hardware. Commonly the audience here works with software for hours a day but goes for weeks without ever seeing an IC or hardly even thinking about one.
You are just trying to pick a fight with me.
Again, once again, over again, yet again,
Homemade IC
is more likely to mean ice cream than integrated circuit.
So, to pick a fight, you pick IC out of the context to say that generally IC means integrated circuit more than ice cream -- true but trivial, beside the point. Again, the title was
Homemade IC
and THERE no telling what the heck IC meant, and even ice cream, even at Hacker News is more likely.
My point about the worst bottleneck in computing is rock solid and very important for computing and the Hacker News audience and fully appropriate. Your "rant" is insulting and provocative.
Your point that
Homemade IC
clearly meant integrated circuit is absurd, just deliberately insulting. You are just trying to pick a fight.
Resist all you want: It remains, computing has a severe bottleneck -- bad technical writing with undefined jargon and acronyms. And Hacker News titles make WAY too heavy use of acronyms. Disagree, fight, resist, object, all you want -- you are still wrong.
Here you are doing the usual for an angry person with weak arguments -- you are attacking the person instead of the ideas. That
Homemade IC
is obscure jargon is true beyond any question. So, you accuse me of a "rant": My original response was short. Then I got attacked.
Sorry, but you seem much more like the one trying to pick a fight at all cost here with your ridiculous insistence on ice cream and doubling down with these giant replies.
You could have just asked for the title to be clarified to avoid a potentially unknown acronym.
Sure I COULD have done lots of other things, but it is insulting and patronizing for you to suggest I SHOULD have done what you suggest.
I did NOTHING wrong.
My point about undefined jargon is rock solid. My point was clear enough in my original post. My responses are only to explain with grossly excessive clarity to defend myself against people who want to attack for whatever reason.
There are some very thin skinned, hostile people on Hacker News.
And my early statement is literally true: I'd be more interested in homemade ice cream than homemade integrated circuits and justifiably so.
All my points are just dirt simple, grade school stuff, explained over and over with outrageously overwhelming clarity, yet some people want to fight for whatever reasons. After my short, clear, obvious post, I just defended myself.
The people attacking me, usually personally instead of my ideas, are finding NOTHING wrong with what I stated but are embarrassing themselves.
It should be enough to be correct, and I am fully correct.
