   If you define broken as "I don't like it". The person you're trying to persuade is PG. His metric for "broken" is the quality of HN. Make an argument don't just say things.

   I agree actually... It would be nice if there was a visual indication for greater than 1 as well as less. I don't miss the actual scores though. Just indicating positive/negative/neutral would be enough for me.

   Honestly, I think you're being less than objective. If PG wants comment scores off and comment scores are off then I'd say its correct... Calling it broken is like calling piracy "theft". It's flamebait and it obscures the issue.

   I'm not following. Why does a lack of visible comment scores necessitate your post?

   How do you infer comment scores. The order of comments appears to be determined by both score and elapsed time. You'd have to have pretty exact knowledge of how it worked. Is that information available?

   You can't "fix" it. It's deliberate.

   I agree with most of what you said so I'm sorry to nitpick. The distinction between "complaining" and "doing" doesn't make any sense to me. The OA's intention is to change the way people innovate. This isn't something he can be "doing" in h

   This is completely wrong. I don't know what I was thinking. It would be the same variable with or without lexical scope (by that I mean block-level).

   That is the worst of both worlds. The purpose of hiding points is to remove the bias they create. Showing them to people who are logged in leaves the bias intact while needlessly hiding content from people who can't vote anyway.

    I'm sorry my original post wasn't very clear. My intended point was that if Javascript had true lexical scope then each iteration of the loop would create a distinct variable. A reference to that variable would then be captured by each clos

    Try this: for ( var i = 1; i < 10; ++i ) setTimeout( function( ) { alert( i ) }, i * 250 ) You might expect it to alert 1..2..3..etc. It actually alerts 10..10..10..etc.

    "My problem with Javascript has always been that expertise is defined more in terms of understanding its faults rather than its features." That's mostly just true for browsers. Javascript itself has very few faults. My biggest annoyances wi

    From the perspective of an individual, fixing a systemic flaw is going to take much longer than just operating within it. There are cases where "reinventing the wheel" is just the best way to go.

    If it takes less time to do it again yourself than it does to find and understand someone else's solution is that so bad?

    Well in that sense I'd say that "ft[j/1000](j + 1)" is a conditional too.

    I agree that using a real identity forces people to be more deliberate. Also, idealistically, I agree that we should own our convictions. Realistically, people's convictions change over time. The internet on the other hand is mostly undated

    The "fingerprint" is used to search a "history" of games against other humans. Based on the move that most commonly follows that "fingerprint" the computer selects the winning move. I'm assuming the "history" comes from within the game itse

    I understand that there are pretty HUGE technical differences between SSDs and traditional HDDs. But from a user perspective it's just a faster component that uses less power...
