It seems to be increasingly popular to denote some notes with trivial contents as a 'paper'. A paper is something that is published in a peer-reviewed journal.

It would, by the way, be nice to get rid of some of all those self-promoting posts. New rule: You can not link to your own shit. Thank you, Sir.

- andrewcooke 15y agoi thought self-linking was encouraged? isn't there some guideline that says instead of making a direct post (askhn etc) you should link to your blog? also, a new account just to takes shots at me? did i shoot your dog or something?
- j_baker 15y agoIt's generally held that linking to your own posts is ok as long as it's relevant to HN (and I don't see any argument that this isn't). I mean, who cares who submitted it if it's relevant?
