That just makes this a problem with HN rather than with the blog. HN's audience is not narrow, and it's annoying to see so many interesting titles leading to incomprehensible articles.

It really helps when HN posters either clarify things a bit in the title, or if that's not practical, make a comment when you post the link.

Finding a balance is hard. Should you define SQL? DB? HTTP? where do you start and stop defining acronyms.

In my blog entries [1] I use the ACRONYM [2] tag with a TITLE attribute that most browsers will show when you hover over the acronym. I don't understand why it's not used more often though.

[2] I know, ABBR is the new hotness, but I'm still using HTML 4 for my blog and old habits die hard.
