Search Ideas

The ‘Revise…’ button is hidden when the comment form is open. It makes sense to hide it because it doesn’t belong in that context. But once hidden, the user has no quick way to revise an idea. Maybe the first thing they want to do after opening ideas#show is not comment but revise.

Then the autofocus on the textarea would force a scroll basically to the bottom of the page. For sufficiently long ideas, that means scrolling past content the user wants to see.

Should I be showing the comment form by default on ideas#show?

… made few changes.

Did you mean to say ‘a few changes’?
Do you know what the difference is?

When it has received criticism and until the current criticism is resolved, that idea is seen as false.

‘The idea is considered false until all criticism is resolved.’

We accept that idea as true until it has received criticism.

‘until it receives criticism’

I went over it first and made few changes. After that, Grammarly recommended that I remove the 'a' before 'criticism' and to remove the 'they are'.

If I understand Veritula correctly, we first start with an idea. We accept that idea as true until it has received criticism. When it has received criticism and until the current criticism is resolved, that idea is seen as false. Since the goal is to live a rational life, we wouldn't act in accordance with that idea. We don't submit bulk ideas or criticisms. Ideas (including criticisms), even if related, should generally be submitted separately. Also, avoid duplicate ideas.

Cool. As discussed privately, I think you’d benefit from working on spelling and grammar.

Try pasting #1874 into Grammarly and revising the idea based on the improvements Grammarly suggests. (Don’t blindly accept word substitutions! Make sure any edits still make sense in the context of how Veritula works.)

Pasting anything you write into Grammarly before you submit it is probably a good policy to adopt in general.

There is a typo in "[i]t has a tpyo."

Could probably use Turbo frames instead.

That would probably be stretching the capabilities of Stimulus…

There could be a separate button to filter comments down.

Now I’m submitting a criticism that contains a flaw. It has a tpyo.

Try counter-critizing my criticism by pointing out the typo. Observe that the red label saying ‘Criticized’ on #1874 disappears once you submit your criticism.

In other words, your counter-criticism ‘neutralizes’ my criticism.

Revising ideas and submitting counter-criticisms are the two ways to address criticisms.

If I understand Veritula correctly, we first start with an idea. We accept the idea as true until it has received a criticism. In which case, until the current criticism isn't resolved, the idea is tentatively seen as false and makes no sense to live in accordance to it. We don't submit bulk ideas or criticisms. Ideas (including criticisms), even if they are related should generally be submitted separately. Also, avoid duplicate ideas.

… must be their its own.

You’ve introduced a new typo. You should get in the habit of carefully reviewing your texts before you submit them.

If you change “Each idea and criticism, even if they are related must be their its own” to ‘Ideas (including criticisms) should generally be submitted separately even if related’, you get to address both current criticisms.

Each idea and criticism, even if they are related must be their its own.

The word ‘must’ is too strict here. As I explained in #1870, ideas should generally be submitted separately, but there are exceptions.

If I understand Veritula correctly, we first start with an idea. We accept the idea as true until it has received a criticism. In which case, until the current criticism isn't resolved, the idea is tentatively seen as false and makes no sense to live in accordance to it. We don't submit bulk ideas or criticisms.

Good question. That can happen.

It’s ultimately at the author’s discretion. It’s generally best practice to submit one idea at a time.

However, if the author is aware of the risk of receiving bulk criticism but decides the risk is worth the benefit of including multiple ideas in a single post – because multiple ideas are required to make this particular post coherent, say – then that’s his prerogative.

It varies by situation and requires good judgment.

The red ‘Criticized’ label could be clickable and filter the displayed comments ‘in place’.

The red ‘Criticized’ label could be a link leading to a filtered version of ideas#show.

The red ‘Criticized’ label could be clickable and lead to a filtered version of ideas#show.

The red ‘Criticized’ label shows how many outstanding criticisms an idea has. For example ‘Criticized (5)’ means the idea has five outstanding criticisms.

But if there are lots of comments, including non-criticisms and addressed criticisms, it’s hard to identify outstanding criticisms.

There should be an easy way to filter comments of a given idea down to only outstanding criticisms.

What if the point an author is trying to make takes multiple ideas? Say we are talking about comic books and I say "DC comics are better than Marvel, because Thor is a better character than Superman, even thou Batman might be a better character than Iron man?"

In light of (at the time of writing) three outstanding criticisms of your new terminology (#1630), what do you plan to do, if anything?

Some ideas: if you disagree with the criticisms, we could discuss further; if you agree, we could come up with ways to correct the error, like (just spitballing here) revising your terminology going forward or posting disclaimers on previous publications.

Either way, it would be good to reach some sort of conclusion.
