Off topic, but this is the second submission I've seen where the title was all in caps except "Not" and having just done a test it seems that HN converts "NOT" to "Not". I'm curious as to why...

Other submission was this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11411368

I think a lot of people like to post NOT in capitals, so they had to implement this.

Things NOT to do if you are a developer. How NOT to apply for a job.

Interesting. This entry ...

    _NOT_ _NOT NOT_ ANOT NOTA ANOTA

... was changed into ...

    _NOT_ _Not NOT_ ANot NOTA ANOTA

is the re `/\b\w*NOT\b/`?

No doubt one of pg's low-tech tricks from way back.
