Nice and all, but I clicked the link wondering why Institutional Review Boards were being tossed, seeing as how they're required by federal law to oversee ethics in research at publicly funded universities.
If I was in a sportsbar and heard someone dissing the NFL, I wouldn't think "What do they have against the National Forensics League?"
On HN, if you see an acronym where it doesn't make sense to you, great! Most likely you're being presented the opportunity to learn about some cool technology.
I did (learn something), but not knowing what "Py" was, there were no other context clues in the headline. HN is friendly to researchers too, so the setting is appropriate for the other interpretation of the acronym (and makes the football analogy mildly condescending).
Don't feel bad, you weren't the only one. When I first read the title I already read it as "Institutional Review Board", whose paperwork requirements normally increases my blood pressure by several points.
Opening the URL made it obvious what it was referring to, however. And then I immediately installed the package to try it out.
