This post isn't different enough from the previous one to justify a second major thread in the same month. We understand how cool this project is. It's just that frontpage space is scarce on HN and the hivemind is sensitive to repetition.

People come to HN to escape repetition—except of their favorites, of course, which they love to see repeated. Everybody's favorites are different, so for an overall solution we need to regulate repetition.

Even when they aren't strictly reposts, we mark a story as a dupe if (a) it has had significant attention in the last year, and (b) the new post doesn't add significant new information (See https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22significant%20new%20informa...).

Project-release threads tend not to be about the incremental features in the new release but rather free-ranging discussion of the project in general. That's fine, but about one per project per year is the right amount for HN to host. That gives us a good mix of projects to discuss while still leaving space for other things.

Would also like to see this un-duped. The discussions around Lazarus are always interesting.

Sent them a mail about this. Let's see what happens.
