Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for posts on the Humble Indie Bundle 8 and whether its downloads can be extracted, and on the Expat 2.6.2 release and the project's lack of staff and funding. The comments only link these posts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
