  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1986.

Bug: when cycling through ‘filtered’ revisions (meaning there are more revisions that don’t lead to the highlighted idea), the criticism badge can change count for the same revision.

#1986·Dennis HackethalOP revised 22 days ago

For all ideas, the total number of pending criticisms (if any) should always be shown, even if they are not all being rendered.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #1989.

That could mislead people into thinking a revision has no pending criticisms.

#1989·Dennis HackethalOP, 22 days ago

The instructions at the top of the page are clear that not all ideas are being rendered.

  Dennis Hackethal revised criticism #1988 and unmarked it as a criticism.

When cycling back to the revision, it should continue to display only the count of the shown criticisms.

Hiccdown should have support for ids and class names in the tag symbol. Like Hiccup.

[:'div#my-id.my-class.another-class']
# => <div id="my-id" class="my-class another-class"></div>

It should also allow mixing:

[:'div#my-id.my-class.another-class', {id: 'override', class: 'additive'}]
# => <div id="override" class="my-class another-class additive"></div>

In other words, the id from the hash would override the id from the symbol, and the class from the hash would be added to the classes from the symbol.

  Dennis Hackethal revised idea #330 and marked it as a criticism.

Hiccdown methods should live in their own, separate classes. How about they are called ‘displays’?

class ProductsDisplay
  def index vc, # …
    vc.some_helper_method
  end
end

Behind the scenes, the Hiccdown gem would need to make the instance variables available to the display class:

display = @display_module.new

view_context.instance_variables.each do |iv|
  display.instance_variable_set(
    iv,
    view_context.instance_variable_get(iv)
  )
end

Then:

class ProductsDisplay
  def index vc, # …
    vc.some_helper_method(@products)
  end
end

Hiccdown methods should live in Rails helpers as class methods. That way, the problem described in #302 is solved – methods can be referenced unambiguously:

ProductsHelper.index
StoresHelper.index

  Dennis Hackethal commented on idea #1965.

That was my only problem! I think it's important to note how sound affects our thoughts, and I appreciate your take on it. In the past, I would use music to block out thought quite often, and I haven't seen many people take note of how harmful that can be towards growth and knowledge creation. I think the revision makes the idea a little less sharp and more helpful. Overall, I really enjoyed the article.

#1965·Lola Trimble revised 24 days ago

Thanks!

  Dennis Hackethal commented on idea #1975.

It does. But wouldn't that explain away the problem itself? I guess understanding and moving the problem into the future where I might be better suited to solve it is a good idea. So now I am acting on an explanation that solves the problem tentatively.

#1975·Zelalem Mekonnen, 23 days ago

It’s just an example. We’re not actually trying to solve the problem of where you want to live. We’re trying to understand how Veritula works.

Another example is physics. The idea ‘Newtonian physics is the true explanation of gravity’ has pending criticisms. For all we know, it’s false. But the idea ‘As an architect, I use Newtonian physics to make calculations because it’s simpler than general relativity and gives nearly identical results on earth’ may have no pending criticisms. So it’s rational for the architect to go with Newtonian physics.

The architect isn’t moving the problem into the future. Finding the true explanation of gravity was never his problem. He’s picking the best tool for the job, today.

Welcome to Veritula, Lola.

I generally like complete silence when I think but sometimes I’ll play soft music to mix things up.

You make a fair point, so I’ve updated my blog post to reflect that the ideal noise level varies based on people’s preferences.

Basically, choose a noise level that maximizes your ability to think and hear your own thoughts.

  Dennis Hackethal revised idea #1962.

The idea ‘continue living in city X’ may have pending criticisms. But so might the idea ‘leave X’. Maybe leaving is too expensive right now, or you’d have to find a new job and you like your job more than you want to leave, etc. In which case there could be a third idea: ‘At some point I’d like to leave X, but for right now that’s too expensive and too cumbersome, so staying in X for another year is fine.’ And that idea may not have any pending criticisms.

Does that make sense?

  Dennis Hackethal revised criticism #1963. The revision addresses idea #1966.

The current city J live in. … But J still live here.

You should really be able to distinguish the letter J from the letter I. Veritula uses a serif font; they’re not difficult to tell apart.

I’ve previously suggested that you paste your comments into Grammarly before you post them. Remember to do that until you get so good it routinely finds no issues.

If you have a criticism of that suggestion, state it (in a new discussion). Don’t just ignore the idea and continue making spelling mistakes.

Veritula uses a serif font …

Upon reflection, that doesn’t matter. The letters J and I aren’t difficult to tell apart in sans-serif fonts, either.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #1961.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #1959.

The reframing of an idea with criticism being problematic instead of false solves this. Because now I’m not acting based on a false idea but a problematic idea.

#1959·Zelalem Mekonnen, 24 days ago

I don’t think that solves it because one shouldn’t act on a problematic idea either. And falseness can still be the reason an idea is problematic in the first place.

So, please give an example.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1954.

I see the value in having quiet areas to think, I agree that it is important, but I at times find the quiet distracting. I sometimes work better in environments that have some level of noise, nothing like a club, more like a somewhat crowded cafe. So are you talking about “quieter” environments such as a cafe, or are you talking about complete silence in your observation?
