Dan Luu famously doesn't have timestamps on the blog posts, like
https://danluu.com/cpu-bugs/ https://danluu.com/cpu-bugs/
There is date on the index page Jan - 2016, however it's not obvious from the content page.
I think the argument is that the content should be corrected if it's outdated. So, it shouldn't matter when it was written.
- lxgr 3y agoThat’s ambitious, but entirely unrealistic in many cases. For one thing, people do screenshot/download/archive web sites; these copies don’t get updated, and it can be important to know when they were last updated (as opposed to when the snapshot was created by a third party).
- didntcheck 3y agoIn that case he should put a "last updated" on each posts. Plus that would offer even more incentive to keep things up to date, since you're giving yourself a public "mark of shame" if you don't
- earthboundkid 3y agoIt's extremely annoying because his posts get reposted to social media a lot and you suddenly have to go on a treasure hunt to figure out if he's revisiting old topics, or you read it five years ago.
