  It would be good to see titles for links above. What's your point of listing them without titles?
  • tedunangst 5y ago
    It's a community effort. One person posts the links, then you come along and help out by posting the titles, then I help out by telling you what to do. Go team!

      Unacceptable Ted, do all the work

    Like the other reply points out, it's fairly standard community practice to link previous discussions for those who might be interested in checking them out. dang (the public moderator) has automated up his postings of past links so they show titles and dates but that's work and I wasn't going to do it by hand for this chonklist. The good news is, eventually, the tectonic plate of HN development will reach 'make the fancier formatting automatic for everyone': https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27236708 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27236708 The reply I really wanted to write was 'the point is to confuse passers by', though.

    Might as well just link to HN search, there you can see the titles, urls, dates, comment- and point-counter. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=fossil-scm.org&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

  These are not links to the discussion of the same page, but links to threads discussing various blog posts, wiki pages, etc. on the same site. It's the same thing anyone could see by clicking the domain name by the title, except without titles.
  • pvg 5y ago
    They aren't all on the same site (not that it matters), they all have significant threads and they are all about Fossil SCM, which is how 'relatedness' works on HN - by value and not by reference. If you can think of some other ones that are not on their site, you should definitely add them.
    • Semiapies 5y ago
      Spamming the first fifteen links from the search results for "Fossil SCM" is of no more value. This is not "how 'relatedness' works on HN", this is just clutter.
      • pvg 5y ago
        There are a lot of HN community practices I don't like so I feel your pain. For this particular trauma, though, there's a little [-] clutter-be-gone link at the end of the comment header you can use to collapse the whole thing out of the way.
        • Semiapies 5y ago
          It's not a community practice when it's only you doing it this way.
