You can always tell if something is garbage on here by looking at the average length of the comments. Almost every single comment on this link is an inane one-liner that adds nothing to any meaningful discussion. And lo and behold, it's the same sort of shitty discussion as on the bug report itself.
Compare this with the comments on the 21 Nested Callbacks link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5447287 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5447287
- gozmike 14y agoAgreed. I'd pay for a Chrome extension that would score HN stories by this metric.
- donretag 14y agoReminds me of all the +1 comments on GitHub issues. They add nothing to the conversation and you can easily subscribe to an issue by clicking the "watch" button.
