Of all the facets of HN’s title autodestroy, I think removing “How” from titles is the worst one. I believe OP can edit it back in though.
(I passed over this article thinking it was a “look how mysteriously smart the mysteriously smart compiler is” acticle, not a “here’s how the smarts in a compiler work” one.)
- pjmlp 7mo agoYes, there is a timeout to fix title "corrections" after submission, but apparently still not well known.
- QuantumNomad_ 7mo agoNot well known and also, submitter might not always even notice that title was automatically changed slightly.
- dietr1ch 7mo agoI think it'd fine having it be however broken it currently is as long as the correction was checked by whoever is submitting the entry before it gets published.
