Prior post was the announcement of the upcoming release, this is the announcement of the release. So not quite a dupe, and probably worth noting now that it is actually available (and available earlier than anticipated).
- password4321 4y agoI mean this is pretty specifically what dang explained is counted a dupe. > Because those things don't change as a particular release goes through its life-cycle of status updates, status updates don't count as SNI.
- Jtsummers 4y agoWell, a major difference here is that 2 months ago this edition was not available. Today it is and people can go online and purchase it and read it (I'm already through chapter 3 of it). Without this post, I, for one, would not have known that I could go online now to read it and would have been waiting for my preorder. And since it's a rainy Sunday this is a great time for me to get some reading in since yard work is out.
- pvg 4y agoa major difference here is that 2 months ago this edition was not available. That doesn't change the kind of discussion that takes place which is why it's usually the pre-announcements that get downweighted. Without this post, I, for one, would not have known that I could go online now to read it Sure but that is at best, a tertiary purpose of HN. Something is always new to someone, relevant to someone, etc. The dupiness or most other on-topic-ness criteria can't really work on that basis.
