https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html * Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. * Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. * When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." * Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. * Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. * Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
