Everyone's time is limited, whether it's useful to you (or not), only you can say. You are basically implying that the time of other people is less valuable than yours when you say "please tell me why I must look at it".
- baq 11y agoi'll respectfully disagree. it's very useful if somebody who has used both (or one but with good understanding of the other) could comment exactly what are the pros and cons of both solutions; to put it differently, why you should use one instead of the other.
- shin_lao 11y agoI 100% agree with you, but that shouldn't prevent you from being considerate, polite and constructive. It's just an opportunity for me to express my extreme dislike for one line dismissive comments just asking "How is this better than X?". If you are truly more interested, you should give more context and information. That's how I try to do it when I face similar interrogations.
- pferde 11y agoPerhaps stop reading every post with default expectation of negativity. To me, the OP read like a honest, curious question.
- pjmlp 11y agoDo you check all the libraries and programming languages yourself, or do you rely on the opinion of others via blogs, books, magazine articles, comments in forums like HN?
- detaro 11y agoRead it as "In case you have already compared A to B, I'd like to know what you observed", and suddenly there is way less to be upset about.
- new_hackers 11y agoHow is this better than 'How is this better than'? :-) (joking, you are on the right track here, 100% agree)
