People are so weary of this that there aren't even the usual requests to put a date on the title of the original post.


It's like the story of the ground speed check from the SR-71 pilot.

(on the other hand, this is the first time I heard about the cray replica)


dang thats a lot of reposts!


Oh. That’s strange — I got an email from Hacker News this morning asking me to repost it because it didn’t gain traction originally, so I reposted it.


Oh yes, we sent that. The existence of past threads doesn't make a repost off topic! Reposts are fine after a year or so: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

"It didn't get traction originally" was referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20660889, not to the links above.


Ahhh, OK. Thanks for the clarification.


I'm still looking for a sufficiently brief way to make that distinction clear, because it gets misunderstood unfortunately.
