the best possible example of condescending software design if it were worthy of being called "designed" instead of "crufted
together by a monotonically increasingly febrile group of contributors". << i can sign
that.
ben_vulpes: but it's hard
to write well wearing asbestos gloves.
mircea_popescu: "Even
though
the application's default behavior is
to create
the ~/.bitcoind directory itself unprompted (and yet not
the bitcoin.conf file
that
the damn
thing expects in
there), if you pass it a data directory
that doesn't exist, it refuses
to create it."
