Ask HN: Is (2013) necessary?
I appreciate when older articles are explicitly dated: Bored people quit (2011), Citizen Kubrick (2004)
But it's only 4 months into 2014, does an article from 2013 need to be explicitly called out? Do you find it helpful or hurtful?
- 25cf 12y agoI don't find it hurtful.
- Stormcaller 12y agoThis particular article is called "why delphi wont die" so i would say what year it was is very relevant.(even if 4-12 months)
- gregcohn 12y agoHN front page tends to concern itself with recently published news. It's a fair point that something doesn't have to be just-printed to be relevant, but I personally visit the front page and new page to stay up-to-date with what's new, and I appreciate the indicator of something that's not.
- joshdance 12y agoI don't see a problem. When I see an article that has stood the test of time, I am more likely to read it.
