Github submissions are typically terrible with it. Especially because people use their personal repos as a blog of sorts, which means that it's hard to tell when a submission from Github is an official blog post, a code repo, or an article to read.
For example, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6573101 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6573101 is on the front page right now.
The title is:
Modeling your App's User Session (github.com)
It's a blog post by Github staff about how they're now tracking user sessions with Rails, cookies, and their DB. Unfortunately, due to the way that the Github site is structured, from the title, one might think that this is a link to a library repo for user session tracking on a mobile app. A small change to the title, like "Github's modeling of user sessions" would convey the meaning of the blog post much better than the title.
- anigbrowl 13y agoThat's a good point. I've had a similar problem with submissions from google.com, which may be official google stuff or may be comment from Groups or G+ (though I think this might have been fixed by showing more of the URL, haven't checked lately).
