I thought it was Bill of Materials

HNer's religious devotion to "Don't change the submission title" is sometimes infuriating. It needs to say what BoM is and that it's confirmed in Australia.

There is no need to make comments like that, others will just complain about it.

Which is not always a reason not to say something when you believe it's important.

Even if it is important, there will still be an overwhelming amount of people who will not care

That goes both ways. Even when something annoys you, there are a lot of people who don't care.

Only takes a quick glance of the actual article to gain clarity on it though.

That is quite the confusion you got there. As la nina is a weather event, how is it related to Byte ordered Mark?

They were just defining the unknown acronym in a playful way, presumably.

You got the joke, but didn’t even notice.

I was actually thinking it meant bill of materials. I am a programmer with construction background

Lol, fwiw this was my initial reading as well.
