Well what's the solution? Do you simply redirect all "expired link" GETs to the home page? Should we have a fixed # of 10 first pages (like some imageboards)?

- Kluny 13y agoMaybe it should redirect to the New page.
- randallsquared 13y agoThe solution is to avoid capturing the state of the user on the server, passing it in the URL instead. That way nothing need expire about the link.
- hellokitteh 13y agoThe solution is for someone else to create a better site that's actually maintained and start migrating people away from HN. A more neutral foundation would be better anyway, imo.
- kansface 13y agoUser state is current captured in a closure in the single process single threaded HN server (running a custom lisp). The solution is to not do that.
