- tinalumfoil 6y agoI enjoyed it but if you're 20 paragraphs in and bored I doubt you'd find the rest interesting.
- jessriedel 6y agoI've read plenty of technical papers that have interesting ideas buried in tons of bad prose. Holding the interestingness of the central idea fixed, there is no limit to how boring a writer can make things. In general, I don't understand why blogs (and HN) are allergic to abstracts.
