I think title is not confirming to the guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

I'm confused, it[0] is the original title (in the green box at the top). [0] "If is Evil when used in location context"

  Perhaps they meant the ellipsis... Which I assume was stripped automatically by the HN title formatter?

When making comments like this, it would be enormously helpful to quote the title as you saw it. The current title seems to match the source and I can't tell if it's already edited or if I'm missing something.

    Just flag the bad articles - it works a lot better than meta comments about articles/voting which end up not doing much. Small tutorial bits with clickbait-ish titles are eminently flaggable.

  I see “if is evil if used in a location context” (sorry, iOS, can’t copy). Coupled with the nginx.com domain, I know exactly what the page is and why it’s linked here.

    > (sorry, iOS, can’t copy) What, are you a time traveler from 2009? Since when does iOS not allow you to copy text on a webpage?

      When you’re trying to select and copy the link text from a link.
