#### Haters do exist, but hey, publicity right?!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So recently I was looking at the graphs for NodeMC's
|
||
|
|
traffic on GitHub and realized... there was a thread from
|
||
|
|
/r/programmingcirclejerk (which I won't link for obvious reasons) that
|
||
|
|
was directing a bit of traffic (actually quite a bit) to the GitHub
|
||
|
|
repository. So out of idle curiosity of just having woken up, I decided
|
||
|
|
*"Why not?"* and opened up the thread. I was greeted with what on the
|
||
|
|
surface seemed like hatred towards me and my product but upon further
|
||
|
|
investigation I found it seemed more general mockery towards a few of my
|
||
|
|
decisions or wording -- or just Node.js in general. So let's analyze
|
||
|
|
and reply to some comments!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So this is obviously attacking my wording in the README... I claim that
|
||
|
|
because NodeMC is written in Node.js, it is fast. And I admit, maybe
|
||
|
|
Node.js in general is not that fast. *However* -- NodeMC has actually
|
||
|
|
proven to be quite speedy in tests, so I stand by my statement, perhaps
|
||
|
|
with some tweaked wording...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is most likely touching on (or slapping) my little confusion about
|
||
|
|
\*nix permissions. The EPIPE error was due to the fact Java couldn't
|
||
|
|
access the Minecraft server jarfiles, and was throwing an error that
|
||
|
|
Node.js just had no f\*kng clue what to do with it. I did manage to fix
|
||
|
|
it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, I do have to agree with this commenter, Node.js isn't
|
||
|
|
exactly the most reliable thing, and **most definitely** not the easiest
|
||
|
|
to debug \*grumble EPIPE grumble\*. Now that said, it's not as
|
||
|
|
unreliable as Windows 10 \*badum tish\*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the final comment. I do want to learn Ruby at some point. But I did
|
||
|
|
laugh when I saw this lovely comment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And of course, my comment, to finish off the pile of steaming comments.
|
||
|
|
I love you all\~
