They explicitly do not want unquoted keys. The author reviewed most prior art in TFA.
- xpe 6y agoWould you like to spell out what TFA means?
- pseudalopex 6y agoThe fine article.

- xpe 6y agoI'm aware, thanks. I wanted to see if CameronNemo would spell it out. I'd like to point out the HN Guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that." Even putting aside what "F" stands for, this means that comments like TFA or RTFA are not in the spirit of the discussion here.
- fenomas 6y ago"TFA" is a common usage on HN just to neutrally mean "the article that this comment page is about". It doesn't by itself imply "RTFA".
- xpe 6y agoThe guidelines are important and relevant. Kind, civil discussion is important. Putting the f-word in an acronym doesn't change its meaning.
- geofft 6y agoThe sentence you quote explicitly states that "The article mentioned that." is a permissible and in-spirit comment.
- coldtea 6y ago>"Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that." That's exactly what the parent wrote, so he's totally fine with respect to the HN Guidelines. To quote: "The author reviewed most prior art in TFA.".
- CameronNemo 6y agoI did not intend this spirit. Instead I wanted to constructively point out that the article reviews several Json quirks and supersets.
- CameronNemo 6y agoPeople use TFA (the fine/featured article) without malice here. I apologize that I did not convey my spirit adequately.
- xpe 6y agoThanks for clarifying. The term is very easily confused, to state the obvious. In my opinion, I think it would be better to avoid it. I'm sorry if one negative meaning deprives people of the joy of using a nicer one, but such is the nature of language.
- xpe 6y agoYou can say this without using that acroynm. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
