The link was supposed to go to an article on the site (https://www.programmingbooks.dev/articles/book_is_wrong/)

HN adjusts submissions to use the canonical URL if present in the HTML. Check the source of the page and its canonical URL (on mobile and apparently you can't do view source in iPadOS' Safari).

You’re right, the page has

  <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.programmingbooks.dev">

which isn’t the canonical URL for the same content.

Tangential, check out Achoo for viewing inspecting the HTML source on iOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/achoo-html-viewer-inspector/id...
