- eli 10y agoIt's a fine line between brevity and rudeness.

- ars 10y agoThe point of making a comment is not showing off your knowledge, it's being useful to the reader. You comment was not useful (or at least not as useful as it could be). Put in more effort next time - a comment is written once, but read many times.
- zghst 10y agoSame could be said of the author to put more effort into their writing pieces before they publish a piece that will be read many times...
- echaozh 10y agoI think being part of a discussion sometimes requires some basic knowledge of the basic. Otherwise, if you need every concept explained to you, well, it's not a discussion, but a lecture. After all, if I deem it common knowledge and you do not, how do I know where is the limit of your knowledge base? IMHO, people in the technical industry should first try to find knowledge by themselves, and ask only when it is not easily accessible. If you keep asking questions which you can find answers by Googling, hmm, how do you even survive in this industry? That is, if you're not in management, of course.
