An hour ago and on the front page with no comments. Probably because we are all still playing with it.

This :P

Way to spoil the lighthearted mood of a fun oscilloscope simulation... I've noticed, and dislike how unwelcome it is to make a simple acknowledgement or agreement on HN. Must be something about the voting system.

It's because it doesn't really contribute anything, and some people are stricter about that than others. The easiest way to turn that simple acknowledgement with downvotes into a neutral or upvoted comment is to just add a simple sentence with your own thoughts, or what it reminds you of, or anything that actually justifies the use of a comment instead of just the upvote button.

It's just one of the ways HN is slightly different than other forums, and while it sometimes comes across as negative, I think overall it encourages better comments.
