The original title was: Huge Pages are a Good Idea
- ShroudedNight 4y agoIndeed. Something significant is lost when the "Huge" is omitted. Memory pages being good idea is essentially a tautology at this point, but the use of huge (much larger than 4k) memory pages being a universally good idea is much less obvious and more nuanced, and ultimately, potentially even untrue.
- moreati 4y agoSorry, I didn't mean to trim that.
- jsnell 4y agoYou should still be able to edit the title? (And my guess is that you didn't actually trim that, but HN's automatic title editor removed it as a typical clickbait word.)
- hunter2_ 4y agoSeems odd to even counter clickbait so surgically, when other rules against any editorializing would catch that anyway.
- userbinator 4y agoWithout the "huge", I was even more curious as I thought it was something about infinite scrolling vs pagination, so adding the word made it less of a clickbait title for me. ...and I suppose if you're not a fan of the trend of paginated content being shortened and split into more pages, then even with the "huge" added, it would still be clickbait as it wasn't what you're expecting.
- mcint 4y agoIt might accept a quoted "Huge Pages" — I don't know. dang or hn mod might have to fix it
