I don't see this an "announcement of an announcement", as there's concrete and detailed content about the announcement itself. You can read the commit message and even the source code.
Moreover, I'm not affiliated with Citus and I don't know if they are planning later on an official announcement or not.
I stand by the idea of sharing these good news at the earliest for everyone interested to know, look at the code, and plan ahead of time if they need/want to.
- pvg 4y agoI didn't say it was an 'announcement of an announcement' just that this the idea of sharing these good news at the earliest isn't really HN's remit, despite the 'news' in the name. The actual announcement is going to get posted as well and dupe-debated, etc. So there's no harm in waiting.
- ahachete 4y ago> I didn't say it was an 'announcement of an announcement' just that this But it appears you didn't consider the following part of my comment, where I explained that a) I didn't have any way to know there would be a later announcement; and b) that there's enough interesting information with the current news that is worthwhile to many (definitely was for me), so there's no reason for holding it.
- pvg 4y agoThe important thing is the idea that it's important that something show up on HN asap is not accurate, it's not HN's thing, there's no harm in waiting as you can see in 9523772353.33 moderator comments. I didn't have any way to know I mean, they weren't going to keep it secret. Anyway, let's wrap up here.
