This is the first time I'm seeing it. If resubmissions were forbidden I wouldn't have ever known of its existence. I'm not sure what the solution is, but I'd like to think removing it from my cognitive landscape for the sake of a forum host (a stranger) isn't it.
- tptacek 4y agoReposts are fine if it's been a year or more since the last discussion. It's helpful to have links to the previous discussions, hence, the link above.
- linkdink 4y agoWhy isn't there a button for this? There's one for the domain as a whole, but not for the full link.
- robocat 4y agoThere is a button: the “past” link below the title on this page. The link often works pretty well, but not in this case because the title “work is work” is particularly non-specific. You can easily search for past HN submits and comments using: https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/ e.g. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Fcodahale.com%2F%2Fwork-is-work https://hn.algolia.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Fcodahale.com%2F%... or add dashes e.g. search for work-is-work https://hn.algolia.com/?query=work-is-work https://hn.algolia.com/?query=work-is-work (Algolia search isn’t parsed like Google so quoting is not useful).
- linkdink 4y agoThe past button, like you said, doesn't always work like that. And I know how to search. I'm wondering why there isn't a button when people always post comments to achieve the same thing a button could.
- pdpi 4y agoWhen something gets reposted, it's fairly common for somebody to comment with previous discussions. I hadn't seen this submission before either, but I'd also not seen the discussion OP linked.
