Just imagine how nonsensical this headline would have looked to someone in the 19th century.

Just imagine how nonsensical this headline would have looked to someone in the 19th century.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThe only reason that it might appear more nonsensical than anything else on the front page right now is because we happened to have named these things after words which would have existed that far back. ("Slorgilling the greunigs" means nothing to us today, but it obviously means nothing; "orange the secondary flatcup" is just as meaningless, but forces you to actually read it because it almost sounds like it should make sense. Likewise, "Rust on ARM" isn't actually using words that meant something that far back, but it at least looks like it could, where, say, "A Python JIT Compiler" is mostly words that make even less sense using their historical meanings or lack thereof)
