Why do always the best link on HN on high performance, non-trivial compilers or parallelism get little to no comments?

Why do always the best link on HN on high performance, non-trivial compilers or parallelism get little to no comments?
- kps 13y agoIt did get voted to the front page, so there is interest, but very few readers are able to add anything useful.
- saucetenuto 13y agoPeople write comments when they feel that they have useful contributions to make. It is much easier to notice that you have nothing worthwhile to say about a vectorizing compiler than about, say, the NSA. One way to get around this is to go meta, e.g. to discuss the commenting habits of others instead of the submission.
- bombita 13y agoI went meta myself, sorry about that.
- saucetenuto 13y agoNo apology needed, I was trying to make fun of myself, not you.
