For that example, it's at least fairly obvious why it was censored, but this one really puzzles me:
"Getting good FP performance from a micro seems to require
pipelining. Keeping the p<asterisk><asterisk>e(s) full seems to require a certain amount of parallelism and regularity."

Edit: Ah, the irony. HN markdown causes two consecutive asterisks to disappear.
- jolmg 6y ago> For that example, it's at least fairly obvious why it was censored. Actually, it's not that obvious. It censored "Dirty Sanchez". I'm thinking it thought it was a person's name, and censored it for privacy reasons? > Keeping the p<asterisk><asterisk>e(s) full seems to I suppose "pipe" can have an offensive/sexual connotation. Even if it doesn't so much today, perhaps it did back then.

- ehsankia 6y agoMy guess is that they just used a fairly large word list, which contained a bunch of euphomisms like Dirty Sanchez.
- jozefjarosciak 6y agoA good guess, that's exactly what I did.
- Jaruzel 6y agoIIRC, 'Dirty Sanchez' is a slang term for a sexual act.
- glaberficken 6y ago"pipe" means blowjob in french. Maybe the filter dictionary is multilingual?
- ben_w 6y agoIt can happen. A decade ago, Apple’s automated App Store processes warned me that “Knopf” was a dirty word in German. (It isn’t: while “knob” can be translated as “Knopf”, the latter doesn’t have the anatomical meanings of the former).
- dredmorbius 6y agoYou can note markup in a code block --- 4 space indent. A code block. Two asterisks follow: ** This normally would be *italicised*.
- Stratoscope 6y agoIt's two spaces. Of course four will work as well, it just adds extra indentation.
- dredmorbius 6y agoThanks.
