- donatj 3y agoI’ve never understood why people on Hacker News feel the need to make these year comments? Particularly in cases like this where it adds nothing at all to the conversation. It has the air of indicating that the content is potentially outdated, but the post is quite little less than a month old. If the content was a couple days newer would there be value in commenting “(2024)”? Beyond that, everything on that page has explicit exact dates. It’s Reddit. We can read the actual date and not just the year ourselves.

- perihelions 3y agoIt's HN's mods' convention to tag articles in that style [0]. If we want to have a conversation about every eccentric thing HN's mods do to this site, and whether they make sense or not, we'd be talking for a long time. (That person's comment was benign, in my opinion, because the mods are going to manually hide this subthread anyway—it's a minor and short-lived distraction. It's a pretty common interaction on HN: there's a meta-discussion about the HN submission itself, "please edit the title / please change the URL to this one / please whatever", and 'dang steps in and says "Thanks! Fixed", and then he kills the subthread because it's no longer relevant. I feel this status quo is basically okay?)

- taspeotis 3y agoIt was on the front page of Reddit a month ago. Why would it be interesting to read again one month later? This is Hacker News, not Hacker Olds.
