This is the first time I see moderation adding to the title instead of subtracting or replacing it. But in the way it is titled now, they made it look like I meant to submit the latest post and haven't put the permalink by mistake.
I'm surprised there isn't any answer to this, after seeing the heavy (and undeserved) criticism to Dustin Curtis for his post, The Best: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4755470
I am surprised by the community reaction on the philosophy essay. It's not undeserved, I just couldn't expect him getting that much critic around here.
Math notation should be terse because you have to do symbolic manipulation on the expressions. It's easy to argue for longer variable names when you are just using the ready-made results. I think it's acceptable to use long names for programming.
I noticed today that my submitted stories page shows upvote arrows for my older submissions (as if I hadn't upvoted/submitted them). Only the 20 first ones have the red asterisk. And my saved stories page does not show old stories.
So it's not just me. Just to make sure, you know that link only works for yourself, each user can only see his own saved stories page.
Why? They're not that large, just click the original title instead. I would understand if you asked for a Google Cache replacement, though (I use a bookmarklet for that).

WTF? What kind of university imposes that you take only one course at any given time? It's not just linkbait, it starts from a wrong assumption. When you take many related courses simultaneously, you see the pieces meshing together and that helps learning. That's different from taking them in a serial manner.
