(And for the implicit acknowledgement that, as a mere reporter, I don't have much influence over the headlines at all, and most often the editors don't use my proposed headline, subhead, or often intro paragraph.)
I don't have much influence over the headlines at all
So it's a bad low information title and you aren't defending it and know it's bad, or it's just fine to have a low information title? Seems like you're playing both sides here and not taking responsibility.
That's like writing an article about a world cup game and titling it "some guys, a ball and a field".
The Register editor doesn't need that refresher course you're offering after all.
I think you're hallucinating things that were never said.
Since you mention it though, this is journalism 101 taught in middle school english. You don't need a where on the internet, but there is no who, what and why.
Fucking first sentence let alone the rest
"Yuri Zaporozhets of QRV Systems is a busy chap. He's built a new RISC-V-based personal computer, a mainframe on an FPGA, and rewritten QNX – twice."
I don't know why you're having a meltdown trying to defend clickbait. That's what's really bizarre.
The first sentence of an article isn't the title and the title is wasted, it's just manipulative clickbait, but some people are so in love with it they defend it like it's part of their identity.
Over the last few years, he has:
* Taken the last public source code snapshot of QNX, version 6.4, got it building again and then ported this 32-bit kernel to 64-bit RISC-V
* Built a new RISC-V based IBM-PC-like personal computer from scratch on an FPGA
* Built a little-endian IBM S/360-like mainframe on the same FPGA
* Built a new RISC-V RTOS inspired by QNX but FOSS, with 2 alternate kernels: his own multiprocessor microkernel, or seL4.
Which is you see too much to fit into an HN title.
