This is the lovely type of page Google used to surface when you needed to learn something. This was the internet.

It’s different now. HN is the only place I know how to stumble on this type of thing now.

To be fair, this is the first thing that comes up when I google search for "DuPont connector" (after some sponsored shopping links).

Also on DDG.

if you used to stumble across things like this on google, then google wasn't very good at being a targeted search engine. stumbling across things you didn't know you wanted to know is for discovery sites, aggregators, etc., not search engines where you already have an idea of what you need.
