90% of the time I have no idea who the person is. So sometimes I look the person up and realize there's no way I would have known who they were. Maybe that's the goal with the "${person-most-people-have-never-heard-of} has died" titles though.

Not too often nor too much, but enough to engage the slower circuits a bit. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=%22work%20a%20little%22%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=reflective%20reflex%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
