If only that were titled "'Considered Harmful': Considered Harmful".
- ljm 7y ago‘Considered Harmful’ considered harmful: or how I learned to stop worrying and love the contrived title. Another format I see maybe a little too much
- DominikPeters 7y agoThere's also The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Colons.
- chrisseaton 7y agoI don't think those 'considered harmful papers' are actually computer science papers though? Things like 'Go To Statement Considered Harmful' were magazine articles rather than papers.
- ncmncm 7y agoIt was more like a letter to the editor. But the editor invented the title. Probably should have been "considered as harmful". We would all be better off today.
- wyldfire 7y agoIIRC "Communications of the ACM" isn't a scientific journal but it's not exactly light reading either. See also, my earlier comment from a recent post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19961776 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19961776
