Interesting that the article doesn't have the question mark in the title, but the HN link does. It inverts the implied conclusion of the article.

- dang 13y agoIt's a longstanding convention on HN that we sometimes add a question mark when the title is overstated, but the article is still interesting.

- dang 13y agoI don't think this is true I'm a primary source on this, having done it many times myself, and I know PG has as well. Sorry, but I don't have time to dig up examples. It might be fairly straightforward, though, if you wanted to write code against the HN Search API.
