traditionalist

This is my throwaway traditionalist account, and even I don't want to see this on HN.

Are we really in a world where ruby is the old school traditionalist way to write unix utilities ?

So I must be traditionalist/conservative, right? No, I just don't like how jeans are all about objectifying my butt and also never fit right.

I'm going to give you the traditionalist's view here, which may look a little drab / discouraging. If you want to "fix traffic" I highly recommend running away now.

No. The obfuscated C contest is more akin to traditionalist art. It's not conceptual and it needs serious chops.

- you're a bit of a traditionalist, - you think resumes are better than actual contact - Sarah has done a smart thing by allowing your type to self-select out of the game [I await the downvote frenzy with a considerable amount of pleasure! ]

It could be that the traditionalist companies probably missed out on a lot of good techies, and hence weren't able to compete and were marginalised by companies who did hire based on merit, not class. Capitalism at work for our labour.

The traditionalist position here makes us burn all the potential new books and paintings, because we already have enough copies of the old ones to fill the library. Better to keep a hundred copies of an old book than 99 copies of the old book and one copy of a new one, right?

Oddly your aurgument Sounds like a traditionalist argument for keeping slavery around in the 19th century. Is "being protected from change" a fundamental human right?

And if traditionalist Confucianism makes some sort of comeback, how will the world outside China react to it? Oh, and how do current Western/non-Chinese expats in China assimilate to local Confucian norms?

If someone is personally offended because I keep my smartphone with me and check if I receive priority messages, that's rather quaint and traditionalist, but it doesn't blend with the real world.

It is a lament of the diminishing of creativity because his definition of creativity is rooted in a traditionalist idea of creativity as resting solely in the lap of artists. Before the PC revolution no one would want their kids to be programmers."

I'm not sure who exactly lives in that weirdly-outlined subset of Austin, but unless something dramatic has changed since I lived there, his segment of San Antonio is dominated by traditionalist Chamber of Commerce types. His chunk of Austin might be an exception, but I would expect it will be pretty hard to get much traction in the rest of his district based on tech issues.

The cables showed that the US State Department is actively involved in advancing anti-traditionalist groups in many countries. One of the cables went on quite a bit about how greater efforts are needed in France to promote multiculturalism and homosexual acceptance because so much of the nation remains traditionalist.

As a preference, a factor in your choice, not the sole decider, you would of course vote for a man sensitive to women's issues over a traditionalist women, or a man with unknown sensitivity to women's issues over a woman who was significantly less competent or more disagreeable with you on other important issues. Is this gender discrimination?

The economist is further left than throwback traditionalist movements like Islamism or the US Evangelical Right, on the rightward side of the consensus liberal-democratic center, certainly right of socialist movements. It uses a sort of high-handed pseudo-objective tone but is actually highly political and opinionated.

It's a traditionalist and condescending attitude that I think is holding us in the status quo more than something like OO's popularity, because there are all sorts of cool programming language ideas you can come up with if you're willing to sacrifice the source code being easily edited by a text editor. Yet we see far less experimentation there then we do with functional programming languages, and I think that's because functional languages are perceived as cool and smart but IDEs are associated with the philistine class of programmers.

Like BBC radio 4 has a leftie, public-services-union-member audience and a rightwing traditionalist audience who are largely unaware of each other, HN has an ivy league educated randian-hero readership and a more old-school, "just give me an ounce of weed and a hex editor and I'm happy forever" readership, and both is convinced the other is intruding on their community.
