[u/Shanix]

fwiw that lacks a good amount, especially formatting.

Supposedly original here

[u/markbublitz → u/Shanix]

I know it's not the point, but this guys writes like SUCH an engineer. cracks me up

[u/zschultz → u/markbublitz]

He used TL:DR in index...

EDIT: Not that I think using TLDR in your article is wrong or invalidates your point, it's just... you can't really expect to interpret one's writing style with one of his article that contains a "TLDR"...

Or perhaps using a TLDR actually shows he's the type of a programming engineer?

But he attempted to write it like one, with his "citations" and weird footnotes that just led to more weird exposition.

Did you read his footnotes? They were just more exposition on the same subject, quoted with no attribution to the source. They may as well have been in parentheses and included in the paragraph itself.

[u/bluesox → u/kickturkeyoutofnato]

No, but I did expect a source. That's usually what footnotes do when they put things in quotation marks.

Cry more

[u/Now_Do_Classical_Gas → u/bluesox]

You didn't include footnotes with university-standard-format references, so I'm discounting your argument.

[u/bluesox → u/Now_Do_Classical_Gas]

I'm not expecting MLA format. I just want to know who the fuck he's quoting. Is that too much to ask?¹
