  It’s the 10th time in 5 years it’s posted. Last time was less than two months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27760822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27760822 So yes it’s posted often, but not as often as "more than once at month".

I've checked HN at least once a business day for the last several years, and this is the first time I've seen it. Admittedly I don't click every single link every time - but, someone further down this comment thread suggests you are probably exaggerating.

  Same. I never check the "new" page, but this is the first time I've seen it and I've been reading HN almost daily for over half a decade. 2-3 years before Rust went 1.0 at least.

  If they used Systemd, we could actually check the logs for when it ran last.

    I know you're being funny, but for those who don't know, cron has a log. /var/log/cron on RHEL and SLES systems: # cat /var/log/cron Aug 1 03:47:18 ssds9 run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[19200]: finished logrotate Aug 1 03:47:18 ssds9 run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[19068]: starting man-db.cron Aug 1 03:47:19 ssds9 run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[19211]: finished man-db.cron Aug 1 03:47:19 ssds9 run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[19068]: starting rpmdiff.sh Aug 1 03:47:44 ssds9 run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[19225]: finished rpmdiff.sh Aug 1 03:47:44 ssds9 anacron[18489]: Job `cron.daily' terminated (produced output) Aug 1 03:50:01 ssds9 CROND[19260]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib64/sa/sa1 1 1) Aug 1 04:00:01 ssds9 CROND[19384]: (root) CMD (/usr/lib64/sa/sa1 1 1) Aug 1 04:01:01 ssds9 CROND[19403]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Aug 1 04:01:02 ssds9 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[19403]: starting 0anacron Aug 1 04:01:02 ssds9 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[19412]: finished 0anacron
