Sorry, I didn't mean for it to be clickbaity. I usually refrain from titles like this.


I don't think it's too bad. Kiosks aren't overly prevalent, so unlike particularly egregious clickbait examples (Dentists hate this one simple trick for perfect teeth, etc), I had less stake in the result.

I was still curious about the content (which is how a title is supposed to work, right?) so I clicked it anyway, and learned about a kernel parameter I wasn't aware of.

It's a good article, thanks for writing it.


I did not mean to negatively judge your post. After all the title does explain that it's about a kernel parameter, which is probably enough information; telling which specific one it is could even possibly be less estetic.
