But it would be good...

Repeatedly noticed unhealthy dissonance when someone in the comments to the article on Habrahabr uses the phrase "what if..." or similar. It usually follows the exasperated reply of the author. The commentator makes a pained face, puts a minus for the answer and he still complains about the community, "I want the best, and then I...".

I myself as the author of many articles not just fall into this situation. And regularly notice it in other topic. Want to deal with this situation.

To make it easier to understand what I mean, let's consider and analyze some examples.

the

first Example


by the Way, Yes... would like the video immediately, well, or 1-2 days after the conference. Himself in konfu do not hit because the time was TechDays 2011 in Belgium.

That should in my opinion be perfectly logical response:

Fantastically weird. You weren't at the conference, what's the difference when you see the video? Perhaps even all at once at the same time. Alas, to disappoint, of tablets from greed.

It seems rude. Not at all. I myself often say. The fact is that such wishes are extremely annoying. Don't you believe? The experiment:

But it would be good if everyone who reads this post and immediately tried to download the new version of PVS-Studio 4.20 and wrote back that he could find.

You have any desire to listen to me and do it? No, of course. First, you are not obliged to me. And secondly, it is disproportionate level of force, which you need to make. My effort is to write one sentence for 20 seconds. You at least 1-4 hours to fully work.

Same thing with the above example.

The effort of the commentator of the article:

1) Write a comment.

2) Put a minus for the answer. Well, or not deliver, if the author apologize and promise next time to improve.

3) Write another comment in the spirit of "well, you see, what lazy/bad this author".



Compare this with the amount that is offered to the author of the notes:

1) Throw everything, to forget about food and family, to postpone other work and engage in urgently order by uploading videos.

2) at the same time because the video is not immediately clamped, to buy and configure additional powerful computer to do this. And even a couple of computers.

Agree not proportional to effort. This is a very good example. Others will not be as bright, but more common for Habra.

That still overlooks the fact that the Council of the author really completely stupid, although technically sound and logical. He will not change anything and can not help to speed up. He's just annoying the author who tried/tries, and on a voluntary basis.

the

Example two


do not understand the meaning of comparison it vector::iterator, as in all sane implementations in the release, it is optimized to T*. Much more interesting would be to see how things are going with the other containers (map, set).

The effort of the commentator of the article:

1) Write a comment.

2) Put a minus for the answer to the author, if he doesn't like.

Compare this with the amount that is offered to the author of the notes:

1) Quit other things and begin to explore the behavior of other iterators.

2) Rewrite the article or write a new article.

In this case, not the fact that a man so interested in all this. He might never look in this thread. So tempted to answer in the spirit: "get it Yourself, compare and write about the results."

the

third Example


If you have written sample driver hiding any process, put several schematic images of the lists of structures, the post would have had a chance to get a good rating.
The effort of the commentator of the article:

1) Write a comment.

2) Put a minus for the answer to the author, if he doesn't like.

Compare this with the amount that is offered to the author of the notes:

1) Quit other things and to write a driver.

2) Rewrite the article or write a new article.

Well done, explained to a person, how to write articles. Then what? The one who advises himself wrote only 2 articles. And those who suggest — 14 articles. Even do not want to answer. What the author does.

the

Example four


Good to the authors of these materials would give at least a brief educational program on the basic terms and abbreviations. The article is interesting, but what is the ERP did not become clear

Well here is the triumph of good over evil and review zaminusovali. But typically, these plus just. Because technically they are correct and useful. Practically no benefit from them nobody. And remake already made is not so simple.

Similar examples can be found on Habre a huge amount. I gathered not the best examples, but remember where, when and what I've seen, I can't. I hope in General I have outlined examples of situations clear.

the

why am I all that?


Dear Harrowdale. Your really ask. Once you start writing a comment, which has the words "I wish", "wish", "if", stop and think. Perhaps your comment is unnecessary and you'll only upset the author and will not bring any public benefit. Because the author tried.

If, however, you believe that the article lacks something, it is better to help. Write a detailed review with your thoughts and unmentioned by the authors of nuances. Offer him help in processing video. Offer, measure the speed of the algorithms on a different compiler. It is much better and useful than to point out the flaws.
