A little off topic. Why does HN trims the “how” from titles? It happened to me twice when pasting the title of a link submission. One needs to type it manually.

It might make the title less click-baity, but it's a completely different one.
- dang 5y agoMost /^how / titles get less clickbaity without the how. Suggested by pg himself, IIRC. It doesn't always work. When we see those, we re-how them. In the present case I'd say it's working as intended.
