The original title is "Don't Link that Line Number" which also isn't what the article is saying, so the HN re-title is an improvement.
An accurate title would look more like "Use commit-specific links when linking to line numbers on Github".
- WorldWideWayne 12y agoThe original title (as written in the article), is actually "Don't Link That Line Number!" Even without the exclamation though, I think that clueful readers would know that this choice of title is a stylistic one. Title choice is largely a matter of style. So, I guess I'm wondering why any of them need to be changed? Furthermore, it seems to be completely arbitrary. The techcrunch article titled "#Love: Virtually No Sex" if made accurate would have been "People may be losing interest in sex". The "Simpler and faster GC for Go" would have been "Proposal for Simpler and faster GC for Go". Etc.
