I can infer from context that mold is a linker. It took searching for https://github.com/rui314/mold https://github.com/rui314/mold to learn what it actually was, though:
"mold is a faster drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers. It is several times faster than the LLVM lld linker, the second-fastest open-source linker which I originally created a few years ago. mold is designed to increase developer productivity by reducing build time, especially in rapid debug-edit-rebuild cycles."
I don't understand how things like this still manage to front-page without a cursory explanation.
- guessbest 4y agoI think yn is a mature enough site that stories are placed by the site curators and twitter users with connections to the site moderators are part of the curation process. There have been a lot more twitter posts as new submissions this past year or two. Also, thank you for finding out what the topic discussion was about and sharing. I couldn't infer the meaning.
- dang 4y agoSome posts get picked for a second-chance by moderators - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 - but it doesn't have any connection to twitterers, nor to 'connections to the site moderators', except in the sense that we recognize some usernames as good submitters. The intention is just to comb through the stacks looking for good stories that didn't get attention the first time around—especially on topics that aren't correlated with anything else. HN has a wealth of these and I'm pretty sure we still miss half of them.
