Wow, almost every (recent) HN post about &quot;Higher Order Functions&quot; has 0 comments - not just one or two, but zero!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?query=higher%20order%20functions&amp;sort=byDate&amp;prefix&amp;page=0&amp;dateRange=all&amp;type=story" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hn.algolia.com&#x2F;?query=higher%20order%20functions&amp;sor...</a><p>... except this one now :)<p>Maybe it should be called an &quot;HN whack&quot;: <i>a search term for HN that has (some &gt;n) matches, but the total number of comments on all those posts is zero</i>.
