Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I'm no fan of singletons either, but writing one with GCD dispatch_once is pretty simple. Nevertheless, I do have a macro for it: http://lukeredpath.co.uk/blog/a-note-on-objective-c-singleto... It's really for creating "shared" instances rather than true singletons, but who honestly needs a real singleton?
