It's interesting that lists of the verboten keep rising to the top of Hacker News. If this keeps happening, it would only be rational to believe these things aren't verboten and their authors (whose work keeps rising to the top of link aggregators like this) aren't writing in good faith that they were. In fact, isn't it - to a degree - virtue signaling to write that one thinks it's such a shame that these verboten things are so verboten as to write an article enumerating them and describing how verboten they are? And yet, ctrl-f, "virtue". Ah, there it is.
