It is interesting to see how the title effect number of upvotes and comments. I’ve submitted this other day and it did not get any upvotes. My submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17471476

It's not just the title. Time of submission affects which parts of the world will be seeing the submission.

Also, randomness.

Not very respectful of https://github.com/chrisallenlane/cheat to use the same name. The original cheat does exactly the same thing, has a big following and more stars, and has existed for years. I've opened an issue re: the name conflict https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh/issues/34 Afaik these are the big players in the space: - bro: https://github.com/hubsmoke/bro - tldr: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr - cheat:…

How is a similar (not even identical) name a “name conflict”? Even if both were named “cheat”, one is a Unix command, the other is a URL that you access via HTTP (in other words, they occupy different, non-conflicting namespace). What’s more, “cheat” is a fairly natural name for a cheat sheet. In sum, I don’t understand what issue you have with the naming.

Yes it’s called “marketing” and it has a huge impact on initial perception.

Consider each of these and think of which would catch your eye enough to click it, read about it, then come back and upvote it:

* Meta cheatsheet

* The only cheat sheet you need

* Cheatsheet.sh

* Cheat Sheetah

* Unified CLI Cheetsheet

People gaming the title is the reason for the rule that the title has to match the actual linked article. Though if you’re the creator of the content that’s not an issue as you can title it at the source however you want.

This is not working at all for me. I keep getting HTML & CSS vomit regardless on whether I use their command line tool or curl.

Which curl version do you have? Might it be a chance that you have a curl script somewhere in your PATH before real curl which enforces some user-agent setting?

What user agent string is your curl request sending out?

I think it does user agent checking to decide whether to send out a shell escaped version of the page or one with traditional web markup because when I make a HTTP request with one of my other CLI HTTP clients it only sends shell output if I send curl's UA.

Cheatsheet is a term of art, not something unique.

The word has been in common usage in programming for literally decades before Chris wrote his program. People used to pin them up in their cubicles before the internet existed.

Not sure why you're getting outraged about it?

Also that "Meta cheatsheet" sounds like a cheatsheet for something called "Meta", and not being familiar with any such technology, I wouldn't be curious about a cheatsheet.

It's not just the title, I'm guessing people are more reluctant to click an unknown URL.

Your submission points at cht.sh while the current submission points at github.com.

Don't forget the timing in regards to adjacent headlines in the feed at any moment a user reads it.
