Everyone who follows Hacker News knows English and has seen the original, so this post is clearly redundant.

It's awesome that people are translating good articles like these. It makes me wonder if, perhaps, there should be the option for people (co-ordinated with pg or not) to set up local versions of HN?

It looks computer translated... Wait a minute, computer wouldn't misspell this often!

I skimmed it and didn't really find any misspellings. The language itself is a little dry though, but thats probably the guy did a literal translation

Just a few misspellings: "рпедставляет" instead of "представляет" (1st paragraph), "ечли" instead of "если" (7th paragraph) and so on.

Better no translation than translation like this. Those who don't know English to read original Paul Graham essays may have wrong impression about Paul and his thoughts from such low quality translations.

And I completely agree that "everyone who follows Hacker News knows English and has seen the original, so this post is clearly redundant".

Sometimes I wonder how people type like that.

russian keyboards much? 0.o

nah, they are the same as our regular keyboards. Except in Russia they put little stickers on computer keys and then you just change your settings to Cyrillic.

Of course those people who don't do it often, just use a web based typing tool

Thanks to everyone. I've just fixed all misspellings.
