I don't see an official guideline about this, but I've seen pg mention many times that he doesn't have a problem with downvoting in disagreement. See: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=392347

What really turns me off to contributing to Python is waiting a year to even get a reply on a bug report. I'd like to think my reports are decent and usable - hell, some even come with patches - but that's still some pretty terrible triage.

I agree with you that the two projects have different philosophies on version control, but I'd like to offer some corrections: 1. Both Mercurial and Git use the same history model; both have DAGs and changesets. 2. The dirstate is an intern

Is it? I saw a couple of comments that rightfully pointed out some minor things the analysis ignored like git's reflog and denyNonFastforwards, but it seems reasonable to me beyond that. What other issues are there with the report?

Another interesting side effect of the ban is that it disables the ability to install and run games from the console's hard drive. Is crippling the console's built-in functionality - which is unrelated to Xbox Live - a fair move? I would im

It's my understanding that the "HTML" part of HTML 5 is neither new nor invented; in fact, it's a specification of how browsers already parse HTML documents, with the aim of normalizing that behavior among willing vendors. Creating a realis

What new syntax was invented here? I can't tell if you're sarcastically lambasting HTML 5 or if you're mocking its detractors. Could you elaborate?

It also strips out common prefixes among tab titles that would cause the tab title to become abbreviated. It's pretty clever, I think.

Right, it is subjective, but requiring indentation imposes a higher baseline level of readability: what you see is what you get. This is important when you're working with more than just your own code. It's like a forced style guideline, an

It sounds interesting, but how can they tell if he's tripping out or not if he already has issues expressing himself normally? I guess if he's functioning at a higher level than usual, he's probably OK, but it still seems kind of iffy to me

That's a very good point about it being bundled already. However, has Gears really been pushed that much by Google? I mean, even as an advanced user, I know that it exists and that various web apps use it, but it seems to be in the backgrou
