As good a definition of code beauty as I've ever seen... even if not as popular.
- mattdeboard 15y agoWhy are comments like getonit's getting downvoted on Hacker News now? I'm obviously assuming it's dwnvoted because it is appearing in a much 'lighter' font. But has something I don't understand changed about downvoting? Every article has several constructive comments at the bottom, seemingly downvoted for absolutely no reason. It's really ruining the comment threads.

- getonit 15y agoBecause the Emperor is not naked, dammit, and people like me shouldn't be encouraged to spread rumors that he is :) Fear not though - as someone with an entire menagerie of unpopular opinions about programming, business and life in general, karma as a measure of agreement with the opinion is more useful to me than as a measure of people's opinion on the constructiveness of the comment. It's also feeding a spectacular persecution complex, which comes in handy when I discover I've been talking rubbish on a subject :)
