I'm not arguing to suddenly put irrelevant info onto WP. The high standard can still be achieved, the level of detail is just higher. Turing might get its own set of pages , while my kindergarten teacher maybe gets a few lines.

Everyone should have a wikipedia page. Notability and value of information however should be clear: Turing's page should clearly be different then the page of my teacher in kindergarten. How? I don't know. We can go much finer in granularit

The article is laughable. Microsoft itself is an important reason to develop Dart to begin with. MS has EEE'd html/js/css with IE 5.5 and up, and developed .NET to offer a competitive (proprietary) platform. We can't use C# although it's op

It's not about taste, but about readability, a part of usability. Why act like a technologist while flushing about 50 years of usability knowledge (Helvetica is from late 50s) down the drain? Heterospaced fonts with significant contrast are

As a primary visual thinker, I cannot express my gratefulness enough. This is just the best visual explanation I have seen. Concepts intuitively stick now, after 10 years of struggling with version control. I have read so many books/guides/

Apparently. It's a shame that researchers hae to use such software. Probably part of why research is so conservative and slow. Why not a funky html "paper"? With interactive formulae, clickable links (hey, wasn't PageRank based on reference

I had to write a paper with it. I found it so horrible that I ended up not writing the paper (on a very interesting topic) and failed class. I just assumed the professor was nutty and kept onto some weird niche software.

After reddit submits, now HN article and more coverage this is transforming into an epic example of usability fail. I cannot think of any precedent or similar mistake.

TL; DR: The idea is that you update the client before you send an Ajax request to the server. "Optimistic updating", not "Asynchronous UI". The UI is already asynchronous (regardless of UI updating order). "request/response model

HN critics best be intepreted for what they truly are. Not critics, but truly caring about software. In doing so, weak elements are pointed out. Not to make any coder look bad, but to improve it.
