This is a good article, although I'm not sure its appropriate to post a subscriber link.
- strmpnk 13y agoIt seems like it's allowed explicitly by LWN: "The following subscription-only content has been made available to you by an LWN subscriber. Thousands of subscribers depend on LWN for the best news from the Linux and free software communities. If you enjoy this article, please consider accepting the trial offer on the right. Thank you for visiting LWN.net!"
- drothlis 13y ago"Where is it appropriate to post a subscriber link? Almost anywhere. Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and blog entries are all appropriate. As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared." -- https://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn#slinks https://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn#slinks
- justincormack 13y agoIt is probably preferable to the free link being posted a week later as it makes people aware of the subscription.
- drivebyacct2 13y agoWow, that's a damn good/smart policy of them, makes me want to get a subscription.
- drothlis 13y agoAll articles are also available free of cost one week after the initial publication.
- metajack 13y agoI stand corrected. What a great policy! If I wasn't already a subscriber, I would immediately subscribe :)
- gillianseed 13y agothe lwn editor(s?) periodically post subscriber only articles here on HN, I would be surprised if this article wasn't posted with lwn's blessing.
