Decoder: RBAC = role based access control.
Whatever happened to people being charitable enough to readers to define their acronyms and abbreviations? This page is full of "insider" talk.
- throwaway290 1y agoGoogle exists... It's not responsibility of commenter sharing knowledge for free to also expand anything that can be unknown to somebody else?
- brigandish 1y agoI think you would struggle to find a style guide that does not say to write an abbreviation or acronym in full the first time one uses it in a piece. Google exists for finding those too.
- throwaway290 1y agois commenting on HN your job? neither is that guy. None of us here signed any style guide and get paid for sharing insight so it's more like "take it or leave it"
- brigandish 1y agoThe sad comment here is the one that believes proper, legible, clear writing is for work only.
- throwaway290 1y agoNo it's more like everyone is free to share knowledge however they want or not share at all and so we should be thankful for knowledge not look gift horse in the mouth and police writing style
- brigandish 1y agoYou have conflated "policing" with "commenting", at least for those you disagree with, thus contradicting your point. If I had the power to police such things I would but I can't, I can only comment and freely share knowledge on clear writing. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth ;-)
- throwaway290 1y agoHN has some commenting rules and next time check them before trying to enforce some rule that don't exist Yours is not a gift horse, you did not give any insight to us and you make others less likely to give insight so it is a net harm to community Never said I support allowing to write any random stuff. Literal nazi is way worse than writing style nazi but both are not welcome.
