Far superior to the original article. But people seem to prefer ELI5 baby talk these days.

Don't know why you are being downvoted. Quoted article is (obviously) superior.

Uh, the quoted article is nice, terse, and seems to contains a lot to play with, but doesn't really address the same things as the topic article.

My guess is that if they dropped "baby" and just said:

> people seem to prefer ELI5 talk

they might've not gotten downvoted. (Didn't downvote myself, but this makes sense to me.)

You say that as if I give a shit about sanctimonious HN downvotes. :-)
