From what I’ve seen, it’s perfectly acceptable for older articles that are reposted after a considerable amount of time.
The best example I can find on short notice is this hexagonal grids article:
https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Hexagonal%20Grids&sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=story&storyText=false&prefix&page=0 https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Hexagonal%20Grids&sort=byDate&...
You could likely find more by searching HN comments for the phrase “previous discussion,” because people tend to post links to the previous HN submissions.
It doesn’t bother me, since there are likely always new HN readers who haven’t seen great “classic” articles.
The HN FAQ says:
> If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.
