Yeah. You're the guy who reposted that Reinvigorated Programmer article again a week or so back, right? Something like, "Old Post, What's changed?"
Just a friendly reminder, you may have forgotten, here's the profile blurb you have up right now:
> I'm tired of the repetition, [...] old material being recycled,

EDIT: formatting error
- ColinWright 15y agoYup, exactly so. To quote a slightly different bit of it: ... banal comments, old material being recycled, and general lack of interesting stuff. In short, the vast majority of repeated material is drivel. Fluff. Content-free. I'm trying to restore the balance a little with more technical, challenging and deep material. This is probably controversial, but it's my last ditch effort to actually get some technical material back into Hacker News. I honestly don't expect it will succeed, but then I can finally depart with a completely clear conscience that I tried my best and found that the so-called "Hacker News" no longer contains much I care about. I hope I'm wrong, but I had to try the experiment. PS: And FWIW - I've upvoted you.
- pgbovine 15y agorandom (drivel) hack idea ... create hybrid pages with iframes that combine a meaty technical article (e.g., a russ cox blog post) with a fluffy tech gossip article, and post these hybrid articles to HN. e.g., "Fast string matching with DFAs / new music social network for your pets launch party pics!"
