Or it could do nothing, it could do a single thing, or it can do several things. Sometimes it just influences color, but often not.
They already addressed it in the article, so I'm not sure what the purpose of this comment is.
- Sharlin 2y agoTrying to sound smart by nitpicking on article titles without actually reading the article is more or less the national sport of Hacker News.
- quantadev 2y agoActually 'nitpicking' is when you assume someone didn't read an article whenever their post references the title of the article. Clarifying something in an article in a more clear way than the article did is fine, and especially when even the actual title itself is misleading as well.
- latexr 2y ago> Clarifying something in an article in a more clear way than the article did is fine, and especially when even the actual title itself is misleading as well. That is very true. However, to myself (and presumably the other commenters) it didn’t look like that’s what you were doing. Though I’ll certainly give you the benefit of the doubt and trust that was your intention. In the future, it might help if you also quote the specific part of the article that does the clarification, so it’s clear you’re aware of it and are providing additional context or better wording.
- quantadev 2y agoNo, because both of these things are true at the same time: 1) I WAS correcting the TITLE. 2) I DID read the article.
- latexr 2y agoLike I said, I understand and believe you. But clearly that’s not what most commenters understood so I proposed how you could’ve made that clearer and not have to keep clarifying and getting downvoted. It was simply a suggestion. You can take it or leave it, it’s all the same to me.
- quantadev 2y ago> it’s all the same to me And yet you keep repeating yourself.
- latexr 2y agoHoly moly, you’re one unreasonably angry individual. You do realise you’re lashing out at someone who said repeatedly they believed you and was polite about it, right? I’d suggest perhaps closing Hacker News for the day but I get the feeling you’ll find some way to be insulted at that as well, so instead I’ll just wish you a better week than you’re having so far.
- quantadev 2y agoNot insulted by the condescending tone at all. I assumed you were being sarcastic/funny.
- boneghost 2y ago> Actually 'nitpicking' is when you assume someone didn't read an article whenever their post references the title of the article. Well that just can't be accurate. Also, bonus points for nitpicking someone's use of the word nitpicking.
- quantadev 2y ago> without actually reading the article Not accurate? Try reading the thread that you randomly jumped into. lol.
