What is with the persistent bolding of your pet words?
Just thought I would try to make it easier to follow. An alternative would have been to declare my terms, I guess. I haven't really developed a strategy for that -- just thought I'd try this.
Bolding or italicizing each special term the first time it appears in the text and writing it in regular typeface afterwards would probably read better, while still drawing attention to the relevant special concept words. People can keep picking out the word better without the typeface once they've been primed by the first mention to assume the word denotes an important concept.
I liked this idea, which carried the added bonus of only taking a few second to implement. Better?
Looks good to me now.
Thanks. Do you think the vote downs have to do with the content? Is this not a relevant topic for this forum?
I guess the downvotes might be a combination of the thing post being a lot more in the idea stage than a worked out solution stage and it being about rating movies, which as itself isn't a very relevant topic.
The general idea of working out preferences using vectors instead of scalars does seem like a forum relevant topic to me, but your post leaves the details of making an actual working implementation, coming up with interesting use cases beyond movies and figuring out how the vector approach would be a significant improvement over a scalar approach in them up to the reader, so it's a bit thin as it stands.
