Ok, but nothing points this is still relevant. Were tests re-run or something? Last update was 3 years ago.

  We don't need special tests and metrics to point us that this is still relevant. We know it is, and no, nothing has changed since. Beyond this particular case, this is a social link-voting website. If people submit and vote for an older article, it will be in the front page, end of story. Doesn't matter if it still holds or not - it's enough that people found it still interesting to submit and upvote. Some of the better discussions here happen the nth time the same post is on the front page (and some posts get on the top page 5-10 times in a decade). There's also a handy link on HN to show previous submissions of the same post, and the discussions that ensued.

    Ok, but what is the proof nothing has changed? I just see a repost, of a really good article. No test-suit runs, not even a glib message saying "It's year 2021, and nothing in test suite has changed".

      It’s here because someone posted it, and enough people upvoted it, and not enough flagged it. There is no conspiracy, things just show up on the front page depending on what we collectively want to read. And it is an interesting article, and I hadn’t read it before, so I upvoted it as well. The rule of thumb is that de-posting is acceptable after ~1 year.

      >Ok, but what is the proof nothing has changed? It's the so-called experimental proof. We see it every day in practice. (This is not a research lab).
