TFA means "the featured article", so in this case the "Why wordfreq will not be updated" link we're talking about.

To be pedantic, the F in TFA has the same meaning as the F in RTFM.

It’s the same origin. On Slashdot (the HN of the early 00’s) people would admonish others to RTFA. Then they started using it as a referent: TFA was the thing you were supposed to have read.

    I miss the old Atomic MPC forums in the ~00s.
