I think a thing that has happened is that the community is actually full of people who have not learned all the fun computer science stuff that people like you and me take for granted, and that's why they're voting it up.

On the one hand, it's frustrating because, damn it, if you don't already know how to play with these concepts then why on earth are you calling yourself a "hacker", but then on the other hand http://xkcd.com/1053/

I definitely agree with you. It's guess it's just difficult with the HN community growing every day, both in population and the diversity of backgrounds.

I think I'll write a little plugin that will hide all wikipedia links and I'll be happy. Maybe something like "hide all wikipedia links unless #comments > N" would work nicely.
