Go look in the code and quit asking second thought questions that chew up other's resources.
- almost 10y agoThere's really no need to respond so snappily to simple questions like that. Even if it were unacceptable to ask a question that could be answered by reading the source code (and I think most would say that's fine) it still wouldn't be ok to be so rude.
- kordless 10y agoObservationally, I'm 100% accurate in my statements. Someone asking a question like this has little intent to know the actual answer and raises doubt in those who do not have intent to know the answer. It's a recursive pattern that is wasteful. My karma burning is of little significance compared to unbounded criticism that comes in by way of ignorance. It is wasteful to ask leading questions, and it pollutes the discussion here. HN reacts negatively to "reddit" like comments, so I see little reason why we can't start reacting negatively to people who ask leading questions that are actually veiled blaming statements. It increases the trust of the comments and decreases the extra workloads having to parse people's illogical comments.
