Is the issue esoteric languages or just languages you don’t use? Which languages do you use?
- Waterluvian 8y agoMy point is more that it's not like I signed up for news about certain languages. So unless I use them all, there will always be some amount of noise.
- PaulHoule 8y agoEverybody has their pet peeve about things that are "too popular" on Hacker News, see this classic: http://ontology2.com/essays/HackerNewsForHackers/ http://ontology2.com/essays/HackerNewsForHackers/ The trouble is people don't agree on what those are! The next article in that series http://ontology2.com/essays/ClassifyingHackerNewsArticles/ http://ontology2.com/essays/ClassifyingHackerNewsArticles/ never went viral because it was too emotionally positive. (E.g. rather than complain about the danger of A.I. in the hands of Google/Facebook/Baidu why not apply it to your own needs?) I get sick of the all the "I competed in Kaggle and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt" posts that you see on HN, but HN readers who look at that article superficially might not realize that I am solving my own problem, facing down the issues of applying ML to a business problem which has not been carefully curated.
