(Previous attempt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27601986 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27601986) Oh. Right. Umm, so the goal here is for me to submit https://github.com/google/jax/issues/2108#issuecomment-866238579 https://github.com/google/jax/issues/2108#issuecomment-86623... to HN. But there is no possible way to submit that url to HN, because HN strips the anchor. Without that anchor, readers arrive at some ancient boring crap that no one cares about. (Well, TPU nerds might care about the Jax history… but do the set of all coding historians intersect with the set of all TPU nerds?) I was going to submit it, then edit the url to include the hashtag. But I forgot that I can’t edit urls on HN, so there’s literally no way to submit a GitHub issue reply as a submission. The reason I’m trying to submit it, is because it seems intellectually interesting enough. So I wonder if HN has made an executive decision that “it’s fundamentally impossible to write something HN worthy as a GitHub issue reply.” Interesting… I suppose my fallback plan is to submit my tweet announcing this post? https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1407412385074270217?s=21 https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1407412385074270217?s=2... That way readers end up on the tweet, click through to the url, and then wind up at the correct spot. Then I suppose an HN mod might notice, and edit the submitted url to https://github.com/google/jax/issues/2108#issuecomment-866238579 https://github.com/google/jax/issues/2108#issuecomment-86623... Okay, I’ll try that. If an HN mod happens to read this, pls no hurt me for spamming HN; I’m not actually trying to. What’s happening here is that I’m trying to work around a very strange corner case in the HN software, where GitHub issue anchor links are stripped. It’s going to look like I’m spamming though, since this is broken url submission #2. I suppose I could just delete this submission and submit the tweet, but.. maybe there’s value in attracting attention to this? I don’t know. I would email it, but I haven’t emailed HN in years. Meh. Onward to attempt #3: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27602110 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27602110
