The guidelines allow a "chapter of a book". This post is a paper with the description of a concurrency proposal for the Oberon+ programming language, and I would like to receive comments specifically on the proposal (not just any comment or discussion; yet another reason why Show HN fits). Can you please reconsider your decision?
- pvg 3y agoBooks can be Show HNs, chapter of a book is there so authors can show a substantial part of a book they are selling. Most other things, including papers fall under 'other reading material' which falls outside Show HN.
- dang 3y agopvg's answer is correct, but to add a couple things: (1) it's not possible to focus discussion in a particular direction no matter what the title says; commenters will just post whatever they feel like saying. However, (2) for a case like this, it's certainly legit to add a comment of your own to the thread, giving the background to this piece, explaining what's different about it, and saying what feedback you're hoping for. If anything can work, that will.
