Unrelated, but do people on HN have a different definition for the word "trivial?" It's used so frequently that I wanted some clarity.

Where I come from, trivial means "of little importance," ex: The Kardashians' drama is frequently over trivial matters.

In a mathematical/academic sense, we usually use 'trivial' for a thing that's 'easily' solved. For instance 'X is a trivial consequence of Y' or 'proof of this is trivial'.
