The person you're replying to didn't do the research themselves. They said as much.
They were just sharing something they were surprised by/interested in. I was surprised to read that's how editing PDFs works too.
- jahnu 6y agoYeah sorry if I'm unclear or misinterpreting. My comment is about the researcher not the person I replied to. I do agree that it's surprising behaviour to regular users of PDF that it usually maintains a history of sorts. Apps should make this clearer.
- lowkeynthorough 6y agoThe researcher probably wasnt surprised, it looks like the person you replied to was surprised. Perhaps i was surprised that you were surprised? :)
- Someone 6y ago“You” is ambiguous in English. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/you https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/you: 1. the one or ones being addressed 2. ONE sense 2a (which is “being one in particular”) So, pro tip: in chat-like discussions with strangers such as hacker news, one should prefer saying “one” when using sense 2, even if it sounds a bit archaic (at least to me. Is it?) Also, when reading a “you” that could be interpreted both ways, do not assume it is used in sense 1.
- pbhjpbhj 6y ago"One" is very archaic, I always fear it will be confusing for non-native speakers, and sound stuck-up to native speakers, and tend to avoid it.
