I think people want high SNR value before a clever triple entendre, but accomplishing both is far better. Failing that, expressing a clear, reasoned sentiment is also another tact.
"Highly biased" probably isn't fair. Thomas goes looking for heated discussions, but what's the point if HN we can't have a good thesis defense every now and again. :)
Possibly. But I think people shouldn't be able to up or down vote on threads they're in, it's a conflict of interest. (If they did vote, give it back to be fair.)
Node.js is often used because it is cool, new and easier for front-end developers to develop a functioning backend.
For more traditional uses that want something less hackish, erlang for example, crashes only a single thread not the entire vm. Functional programming languages in general like haskell and erlang are interesting for backend core services.
