Is this not common knowledge? or we have another SDR which is popular as well. This is the only SDR I know.

YMMV but IIUC it's EAFP when giving TMI on TLAs, especially technical jargon, rather than just quoting LMGTFY or insisting folks RTFA. (... and I can't help but add IANAL, IANYL, TINLA, etc.)

  Just expanding your acronymouns for any people that might not know them by heart: Your Mileage May Vary but International Islamic University Chittagong it's European Association of Fish Pathologists when giving Too Much Information on Three Letter Acronyms, especially technical jargon, rather than just quoting Let Me Google That For You or insisting folks Ready Team Fire Assist. (... and I can't help but add IAnal, IAnyl, This Is Not Legal Advice, etc.)

    Most of those are right, but: IIUC = If I Understand Correctly RTFA = Read The F(ine) Article IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer IANYL = I Am Not Your Lawyer The only one I had completely no idea on was EAFP, which is apparently "Easier to Ask Forgiveness than Permission".

I think many more people would see SDR and think of "standard dynamic range."

  As someone who’s constantly appalled by the number of TVs on the market that claim HDR but can’t even reach the minimum spec of 1000 nits, this was me!

I had never heard of this acronym. If you post on a forum about SDR’s, I guess it’s fine to not explain it, but it’s a public blog post shared to ‘Show HN’ so it makes a lot of sense to add two our three phrases that shortly explain the term after introducing it.

I just couldn't remember the meaning since I've only read maybe a couple of articles on the topic. So I had to Google it, and it was the 4th result. I tried to CTRL-F "SDR" on the article page, but there was no mention of what the abbreviation stands for. I realize it's meant for technically inclined readers, and it is a great article and project. I should've checked the linked websites first, but it was easier to just Google it :) I'd include a short mention of what SDR stands for (maybe with a link to Wikipedia) at the top so people unfamiliar with it can get an idea of what they're about to read. Just imo.

My mind kept replacing it with "surveillance detection route", even though I knew that wasn't right, until I looked for a meaning.
