Unfortunately HN locks the comments after a while.
Mods: we need a way to fix deadlinks
Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1140283 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1140283 redirects to wrong place.
Correct new link is https://lockhaven.edu/~dsimanek/hollow/tamarack.htm https://lockhaven.edu/~dsimanek/hollow/tamarack.htm
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoDang has said this is done as a way to preserve history. I think that’s more important than some of the links being outdated.
- dang 6y agoThat's generally true, but if it's a historical source that's still available elsewhere, then the particular link doesn't have so much historical value. Occasionally I'll post archive.org links or similar alternatives as pinned top comments, so readers looking at the old thread can have access to the article. In the past we've changed the top link to archive.org also, but I'd rather not encourage that.
