Hacker News Reader

And now

(a) it's preserved because it has 'historical significance', yet

(b) the bits are rotting as new books are released and old books' information becomes out of date

The first link I clicked on in the list was dead. Admittedly I found the pdf with a trivial bit of googling, but still annoying.

Vim Recipes is a dead link. There's still a pdf and a github out there, though.

SO is neither a wiki nor a forum. If the maintainers have a different vision for it, they're hardly being pedantic by not letting it turn into one of those things. The Internet isn't suffering from a shortage of wikis or forums, so maybe someone should put this page's contents in one of them?

There's a decent chance that's because they have no area of expertise.

Haha, yeah it can be aggravating. In general though, I think it's good that there are people who care about the content so much.

Sadly neither StackOverflow nor Wikipedia have found the "PageRank of Edition".

What is a historical lock, and what is it used for? http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/126631/1288
