Edit
Meant to link the HN thread, not the original source.
> Use minimalism to achieve clarity. While you are writing, ask yourself: is it possible to preserve my original message without that punctuation mark, that word, that sentence, that paragraph or that section? Remove extra words or commas whenever you can.
> Inject questions and less-formal language to break up tone and maintain a friendly feeling. Colloquial expressions can be good for this, but they shouldn't be too narrowly tied to a region. Similarly, use a personal tone because it can help to engage a reader. Impersonal, passive text doesn't fool anyone into thinking you're being objective: "Earth is the centre of this Solar System" isn't any more objective or factual than "We are at the centre of our Solar System."
> Finally, try to write the best version of your paper: the one that you like. You can't please an anonymous reader, but you should be able to please yourself. Your paper — you hope — is for posterity. Remember how you first read the papers that inspired you while you enjoy the process of writing your own.
EDIT: you posted the wrong link, I was trying to help YOU, and the readers of your comment. You removed the original nature link, and then post a condescending reply to me. It's insulting and makes me think less of you and I now deeply regret trying to help.
Later
(I wrote "of course" here, as a sort of clumsy acknowledgement that I'm not posting an actual sci-hub link, not as any sort of commentary on the preceding comment --- that comment was appreciated, as I'd originally posted the wrong link, to the paywalled Nature story and not the HN thread. Sorry if it reads any other way!)
The institute is on the top of a big hill and I'll always remember how he gave me a lift one day as I was walking up.
