HN rules say: “… please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.”

Therefore, the title should be “gnuplot for numpy.”




Right.

Note that there may be times when titles may be substituted, usually for reasons of length, de-clickbating or de-sensationalising, etc. In which case the preferred option is to omit nonessential words or find an alternative, clearer, phrase within the article text itself.

But editorialising, even with relatively innocuous phrases such as "non-painful" is strongly frowned upon.


I understand, thanks for the explanation.

It makes a whole lot of sense.
