tl;dr: apple maps apologia
- arrrg 14y agoNo, actual data for once, not just anecdotes. I want to see more of that and less of the anecdotes. I’m under no illusion that this is any sort of conclusive test, but it’s a start. (This, for example, doesn’t test for POIs or more complicated and fuzzy search queries, which for me – anecdote alarm! – are the huge issue and both often unusable – while all the rest works like a charm for me, except for some small gripes I have with how maps are displayed.)
- 37prime 14y agoIsn't that ironic that you formed an opinion about an article that you didn't read?
- snogglethorpe 14y agoI did read it ... :) "tl;dr" is to save other people the effort.
- scott_s 14y agoIf someone says "tl;dr", I assume they mean "it was too long; I didn't read it." If you want to provide a summary, then perhaps just call it that. (Although I think your summary mischaracterizes an actual test.)
- myko 14y ago> If someone says "tl;dr", I assume they mean "it was too long; I didn't read it." This would be correct, however 'tl;dr: <summary>' is pretty common for providing a summary.
- scott_s 14y agoI assume that's providing the reason they didn't read it. How's about we just say "Here's my summary:".
- catshirt 14y agothe way snogglethorpe used "tl;dr" is fine and pretty generally understood. can we stop arguing semantics of an internet acronym? regardless of your admitted assumption, their intent was explained, let's move on now.

- guywithabike 14y agoI find it interesting that the linked article is substantiative and provides data and thought-out conclusions derived from the data, whereas you replied with a snarky 3 word response. That's much of Hacker News in a nutshell.
