I really don't understand the purpose of this article. Sure, Wolfram has a super huge (and possibly fragile) ego...does that in some way make the author feel less secure such that he has to invest time in trying to convince the world that Wolfram "ain't all that"?
I really feel compelled to point this out because as of now, this headline is #2.
- HSO 17y agoThis comment has a certain irony to it... do you feel "compelled to point this out" because the article "in some way make[s you] feel less secure such that [you have] to invest time in trying to convince the world that [the article] "ain't all that"?" Or why don't you just ignore it if it is so off?
- fiaz 17y agoand there you have it...the redditization of HN... edit: I should add that yes, this article does make me feel less secure about the quality of articles making it to the top of HN (hence the very last statement in the original comment).
- HSO 17y agoFair enough. but then you should push for HN letting us downvote articles too, not only comments. I don't know how much impact one comment will have on whether an article (or class of articles) makes the frontpage. And by the way, please don't be prissy, I was just making a little fun.
