Alas the all seeing eye of hacker news prevents many would be writers from publishing their findings. Even the theoretical chance of being criticized on hacker news is an oft cited reason that I’ve heard from many coworkers for not publishing interesting findings.
- diegoperini 7y agoThis type of attitude suggests all criticism is bad which I believe is not true at all. No serious writer would hold science back because of a probable debate in some random internet forum. Otherwise, they don't understand how science works. The discussion in this comment section (for this post) is so far friendly. The author is kindly giving up personal time to engage with the readers. There are even people who posted real code pieces to elaborate the topic for people who had hard time to follow. If this is not HN at its best, I don't know what is.
