Anything new here?

Not for you. But for others, yes.

How about you post something new for a change, instead of asking this question repeatedly and not getting the idea that other people might have had a different experience from you.




That's just it tho. We never know why OP shared it. Did something change on the page? A new feature? Hardly anything has dates. Maybe it's just their own personal discovery of the day. (Then maybe they could just browse the previous posts if it's not news. Save us some of the repeated discussion points over and over.) You don't know if I've even seen it before. But I know from search it's not new. I know others might not have seen it. But people need to also realize things aren't new, that there might be history, that things aren't just popping into existence because they just noticed them. There's all kinds of dupes on here and sites like this that pop up here and there and it's nice to know context, if any.


Clearly lots of people find it useful; just look at the number of comments and upvotes it gets.

All you do is police the site, and it shows: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=ChrisArchitect

You are clearly oblivious as to how off-putting your behaviour is to new contributions. Just think on that. I wish this site had a feature to ignore users.

[In 20 hours this has garnered 308 points and 122 comments and you are bleating "Anything new here?" As I said before, read the room. The world doesn't revolve around you. Perhaps you are running a bot.]


What the…

Seriously, ChrisArchitect, that’s highly off-putting. I rehash things with my friends all the time. Very often there’s nothing new about those specific things, but the context they live in has developed and we enjoy discussing them in the new context.

For instance, since the last time Berkeley Mono was the subject, Monaspace was released. Now we can talk about how Berkeley Mono relates to the current space.

I beseech thee to knock it off. This isn’t Wikipedia and we don’t need deletionists gatekeeping what’s worth discussing. It seems a lot of people are enjoying the conversation. Let them.
