Are you using "affine" to mean "for which one has an affinity"? I have never heard that nor can I see that as a wide-spread definition. Just curious!

Maybe non native speaker, here in germany we often say "technisch affin" which means proficient with technology

I was wondering. Maybe "refined", as a derivative of the verb?

I think that poster is saying that here on HN posters typically preserve points, lines and parallelism. Rude, quite honestly.
