Why you gotta yuck other people's yum, man?
To me it seems like Hackernews, as a whole, goes off on the same kinds of thought-tangents as I do, and that makes the site more interesting. And I was one of the commenters about Jazelle on the thread you mentioned.
- depr 3y agoBecause this is a community and I care about what goes on in it. I think this is precisely not a thought-tangent, it is taking the tangent that occurred elsewhere and posting an article about it to score internet points. If we keep doing that, this becomes even more of an echo chamber and a very boring place.
- lxgr 3y agoIt's exactly the opposite to me: I might not necessarily be interested in a box on someone's wall (even though I did enjoy that particular article) but at the same time be extremely interested in efficient mobile Java implementations with or without hardware support. Reposting that tangent as a separate submission increases the chance of me finding the conversation.
- depr 3y agoThen it would be great if the existing conversation could be posted instead, similar to what 'icegreentea2 suggested.
- pests 3y agoYou might be the only one concerned with internet points. Even so, why does it affect you so much to see other people getting these internet points? Or that they were somehow unearned? Who cares.
- depr 3y agoI think I've adequately explained what it is that bothers me about it, and it's not them getting points.
