This comment is a fine example of how HN became an artist's (me) hideaway. Art related posts on HN rarely escape a dose of rational review that hardly exists anywhere else.
- gtirloni 9y agoEnglish is not my first language (assuming hideaway is a place one goes to hide from something). Do you mean that as a good or bad thing?
- alextheparrot 9y agoIt is a good thing, the context implies it is a place where he or she has chosen to hide away. The idea of a chosen place to hide is "good" because the choice means that if it we're bad the author would not have chosen it. Saying "hideaway from the police" would be an example of it being bad, because the police have forced the hiding.
- Baeocystin 9y agoNot the person you asked, but I can assure you, it's a good thing. And I feel the same way.
- gt_ 9y agoI mean it as a good thing, and that I think it contributes to my sanity. :)
- theoh 9y agoA little goes a long way, though... Having done a CS degree and an art degree myself, I appreciate the rigor of the CS mentality but it definitely cannot be successfully transplanted into the art scene, at least not into the public discourse of art. The agendas are too different. (A lot of artists are handy technical people, but usually in the workshop, not the coding variety)
- gt_ 9y agoI entirely agree.
