Anyone else seeing this post as the 1st and 2nd link on the front page of HN?

In case is gets fixed, here's what I see, to help diagnose the bug [1]. Both posts point to https://github.com/golang/go/commit/b986f3e3b54499e63903405c..., have the same HN item id=9097404, but different comments counts.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes! And with different points, too.

Looks like they diverged. Lots of duplicate comments. Edit: Nope. All comments show on both.

The comment links are in fact the same: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9097404

The same is true for the "C# Edit and Continue and Make Object ID Improvements in CTP 6" story, presently at #25 and #27.

Yes. With the same URL for both discussion and article, though with differing scores and comment counts .

I notice that one submission is "canonical" for the flag/unflag bit. You can flag one of the two submissions, and the "unflag" will show up on the other submission.

Maybe Hacker News is budding. Is it spring already?

I'm seeing the same thing with this post as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9096843

It's the smart quotes.

One does wonder if the register re-naming from their abstract (but misleading) names to their proper machine names (e.g., from "SP" to "R13") wasn't at all a reaction to the (in)famous polemic on the golang build chain.[1] [1] http://dtrace.org/blogs/wesolows/2014/12/29/golang-is-trash/

No, this was unrelated.

SP, PC and FP are virtual registers, from the POV of the assembler. On _some_ architecture those words have real meanings, like RSP on intel, but on others they are just conventions.

I don't think Keith's rage quit has had a measurable impact on the direction of Go or its toolchain.
