Oooh I got this one...

>* An article about a null-pointer bug in GCC that doesn't explain what pointers are

That's obviously the finger you point at people with, a null pointer is when you don't point at someone but just angrily stare at them.

>* An article about Stripe that doesn't explain what Stripe is or does

Obviously a stripe is those lines on zebras that make them zebras

>* An article about the programming language Julia that doesn't explain what Julia is.

Clearly the one and only Julie Roberts...

Obviously I'm being stupid but that's genuinely how I feel sometimes when I open HN

- "RUST does..." erm, why are they screaming rust, I know rust is annoying if you don't sand it down and deal with it quickly but why are we yelling about oxidation

- "ExFAT..." why are they talking about their weight loss on HN

- "Wave-based non-line-of-sight computational imaging in Julia" some woman named Julia used a computer to figure out how to best appear in photographs of them waving? Must be one of the royals.

- "A+, the Programming Language of Morgan Stanley" why do I care about Morgan's grades?

- "YouTube should stop recommending garbage videos to users" I dunno, I watched a really good one on landfills one time, I think it also recommended me one on how fuel trucks refill gas stations after that.

- "Curl exercises" yeah, I hammer curl on Tuesdays as some of my accessory work, not a real fan of bicep curls though.

- "Is Ringo Starr a Good Drummer?" I assume this is about the Beatle but it's probably about some computer programming language in some network security application.

- "Perils of Constructors " must be English as a second language, clearly they mean Perils of Construction, certainly a mod will fix that title soon. I'm guessing death and hemorrhoids.
