Is it really that hard to google? If you're trying to learn about a subject it can get annoying to repeatedly have to jump to the meat of the article or fast forward if you're watching a video.
- root_axis 6y agoObviously googling isn't hard, but having to google what could be easily explained in the text breaks one's concentration, something that is critical for most readers.
- serverholic 6y agoA single quick search and you're good to go. Besides, if you need to look it up then you're probably better off reading a quick summary anyways. Spelling out "Conflict-free replicated data type" doesn't really help beginners all that much and non-beginners will just use "CRDT" anyways. We don't need every article about the web to spell out HTTP right? I don't get why the author is getting beat up just because his free content isn't convenient enough.
- root_axis 6y agoIf the article is titled "HTTP is the future" yes, I think unpacking the acronym is appropriate. Also, he's not getting "beat up", it's just a mild criticism regarding how the article was written, it's not that big of a deal.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoIs it really that hard to spell it out and then put the abbreviation in parenthesis the first time it is used?
