You guys beat me to it - I was working on the list!
Btw for those wondering about reposts: reposts on HN are just fine after a year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), and reposts of classics every now and then are good because it's important for new users to learn the classics!

- Abh1Works 9mo agoI can say that a new user (me) did learn the classic (this).
- Leptonmaniac 9mo agoCongratulations! You are one of today's ten thousand! Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/
- nakedneuron 9mo agoIt's classics all the way down.
- davidcollantes 9mo ago> Btw for those wondering about reposts: reposts on HN are just fine after a year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), and reposts of classics every now and then are good because it's important for new users to learn the classics! It would be nice if HN would simply "float" to the front page the classics, a year or two after their submission. That would avoid duplication (specially of comments!), and allow people in the lucky 10,000 group know about it.
- dang 9mo agoI hear you from a technical point of view (deduplication!) but I think the chaos and ferment have creative qualities too.
- efreak 9mo agoPallet from the shipping room is a different story, though this one is mentioned in the comments
