- 3PS 5y agoHere's the oldest snapshot, from 2014. Diffing is left as an exercise for the reader. https://web.archive.org/web/20140702092610/https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://web.archive.org/web/20140702092610/https://news.ycom...

- sillysaurusx 5y agoHat tip for the clever solution. :) “If only there were a way to get a snapshot of any website at a given date..”
- ternaryoperator 5y agoInteresting tool. It would be even better if it recognized shifted lines, like line 12 in the original is line 16 in the present version.
