Dear downmodders, the submitter should have at least put the fig leaf of an "Ask HN" sentence around this to make this interesting. Otherwise, a post to the homepage of a 12-yr old project makes no sense and is polluting HN.
Comments which complain about articles polluting HN and say nothing other than that the commenter is flagging it are polluting HN, and are against the guidelines:
"Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."
