Rick York share your dissatisfaction

Rick York has posted a new comment at "article "Fastest hash function for table lookups in C?!"": This is a very poor excuse for an article. What's the problem Mr. York? For third time you downvote me without pointing out what you don't like or rather hate - your last vote being 1.
Get down get down get down get it on show love and give it up What are you waiting on?

Um. I see no comments at all: Fastest hash function for table lookups in C?![^] and you have no "1" votes on that article: just 4 and 5s.

Probably someone with enough rights deleted his vote, but I don't care about votes I should like to know what Rick saw so bad to give 1 - I guess if there were lower vote he would use it.

Probably because it is a dump of stats: remove that and there is nothing left. You have to explain what you are doing - simply showing the results is not what makes an article. You may be getting up votes either in protest at him not telling you what was the actual problem or because the results are so damn clever that nothing needs explaining (doubtful). It should have been a blog post: not an article.

I've told you what the problem is: this is not an article: it is a blog post, at best.

Yes.

Perhaps: in that case, write a proper article and don't just dump images on the page. Explain the why's and wherefore's of what you are doing. If you don't know what a good article should look like go and search for anything written by Marc Clifton or Sasha Barber: they both write well presented and easy to read articles. Good luck.

>I've told you what the problem is: this is not an article: it is a blog post, at best. Okay, I am not arguing, my point was and still is that by sharing some etude it must be useful in first place and hopefully well described where I fail to do so too many times I guess. >Explain the why's and wherefore's of what you are doing. See, this is a simple 20 lines C code doing the most well-known task among all general etudes - returning a 32bit value out of smoe key. I didn't want to repeat how to bake bread, just to share the source and stats on different machines in order to give the reader an idea of is it worth downloading? I just looked at article "Sorting Algorithms In C#" by Mr. Clifton and in my humble (I am not a programmer) opinion it appears to me useless, simply it doesn't cover the most interesting and useful area of sorting - the external ones e.g. I have had some drafts in C that dealt with 1,000,000,000 keys VERY FAST, with mentioning this I just wanted to share how different opinions exist. >Good luck. Thank you, obviously my articles are not even articles, sorry, but blame me not - that's me, a C amateur trying to test/share interesting etudes.

It is a blog post, at best. It is not an article.

This one is not an article, plain and simple.
