The HN post title should probably not include "non-painful" given that the README never uses that phrase or compares against other plotting libraries.

- rrr_oh_man 3y agoWhy?
- mat_epice 3y agoHN rules say: “… please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.” Therefore, the title should be “gnuplot for numpy.”
- rrr_oh_man 3y agoI understand, thanks for the explanation. It makes a whole lot of sense.
- dredmorbius 3y agoRight. Note that there may be times when titles may be substituted, usually for reasons of length, de-clickbating or de-sensationalising, etc. In which case the preferred option is to omit nonessential words or find an alternative, clearer, phrase within the article text itself. But editorialising, even with relatively innocuous phrases such as "non-painful" is strongly frowned upon.
