I would suggest lower casing the "M" as it stands for "meters" . By reading the submission title (the article one is correct, I don't know why you changed it) I couldn't figure out which mega units it was referencing (pixels, bytes,?)


Lowercase to uppercase might have been an automatic change by HN too.


HN titles can be edited by the submitter after submission. The automatic normalization only happens on the initial submit.

It would be nice if HN would display a message after submitting that the submitter should check the changed title.


Then spell it out as "10-meter". Having a clear and understandable headline is better than saving a few characters.


Eh, this is something HN does automatically after submission. It also sometimes drops words.


Submitters can re-edit the title after the fact.


I saw this comment several hours after submission and it was already too late to edit the title. I copy/pasted the title from the blog, so I guess it’s HN who capitalized that letter.


I still don't quite understand what 10m means in this context. Sorry, I'm slow.


1 pixel = 10 meters

i'm slow too
