- kakarot 10y agoPeople downvote over some dumb stuff sometimes on HN, but I'd be careful about posting a complaint about being downvoted that contains no other contents. It's against site rules and could get you in trouble.
- jwilk 10y agoThe downvoters were annoyed by bad punctuation. ;-P Don't put spaces before commas or question marks. Single question mark is enough. "??" looks sloppy.
- thaumasiotes 10y ago> Don't put spaces before commas or question marks. Actually, I do this all the time, when what precedes the punctuation mark is a URL. It just doesn't seem right to have the URL seamlessly run into a punctuation mark that isn't actually part of it.
- jwilk 10y agoYeah, I sometimes do it too, even though it doesn't look pretty. Another possibility is to put <> around the URL; but that didn't work correctly on HN last time I tried.
- FabHK 10y agoURL a permissible exception to a rule that otherwise stands. You can identify texts written by French people by the extra spaces (if they're careful or have a good word processor, it'll even be a non-breaking space). PS: Spaces before smileys also permissible :-)
- jlgaddis 10y agoYou asked a question that is easily answered by RTFA -- in the first sentence even!
- nautical 10y agoAgreed , but I was unable to understand how it worked while taking off and landing .
