Congrats to the Go team, but that link kills the browser....
You can read the original commit on Gerrit, it's less explodey.

I'm seeing the same thing with this post as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9096843
It's the smart quotes.
Ha. It's always the smart quotes.
They've caused me so many headaches over the years it's amazing to me that they are still actively supported and implemented in any software. What value do they even bring?

#43Anyone 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. [1] http://i.imgur.com/xATOXPb.png
This must be the new and improved "eventually consistent HN" that dang has been talking about.

The second post wasn't there for the first 30 minutes or so, it just appeared out of nowhere, no idea why.

Looking into it now. Edit: hopefully fixed now. Will edit this comment later when we figure out what happened.
Ok, we figured out what happened. A background process that is upgrading old stories to a new data format went rogue and made multiple copies of a few stories in memory. Apparently it agrees with some of you that HN could use more stories about Go.
Sorry for the error.

Also, one is marked as having exactly double the number of comments and points as the other.

Smart quotes tend to cause a lot of problems... especially since they don't just convert to a standard quote in Unicode, etc... [1]

#50One 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/
Aside from what the other reply to your comment said, using R13 and R15 is actually a move away from standard notation: even though those do correspond to SP and PC, the ARM architecture manual as well as all assembly code I've seen uses the special names for those registers.
