That's got to be the most inadvertently HN-clickbait headline I've ever seen.
- Natsu 11y agoI'm not sure it's inadvertent. I long ago filed HuffPo under "clickbait" along with similar entities, like the Daily Mail.
- pimlottc 11y agoCertainly, but in this case, I don't think HuffPo was targeting software developers...
- agumonkey 11y agoHP is an authority in char* though.
- Qwertious 11y agoWell literally the main thing their site does is publish really long strings.
- dang 11y agoWe changed the title to a representative sentence from the article.
- pshc 11y agoHaving a personal vendetta against 'string'ly typed programming, upon seeing the headline, my head involuntarily perked up like that of a meerkat. (The OP headline was previously "Strings Are Dead")
- agumonkey 11y agoSame here, somehow I was picturing a realization (that strings are wrong) so large that even the HuffPost would write about it.
