- NewJazz 1y agoOK, but how hard is a link to Wikipedia?
- foresto 1y agoLots of people on HN are not the target audience for any given post, yet are still interested. (And my point applies to all writing and speaking, not just this post.)
- mcpherrinm 1y agoIf it was a blog post or announcement, we’d have surely included more context, and not a forum post really intended for limited distribution. You just used HN without expanding that acronym! :)
- XorNot 1y agoIt's standard academic writing practice to introduce the full acronym on first usage in any given text. Way more people should be familiar with the concept since it's very useful and ensures clear communications.
