This is an interesting point. You're right - no byline or dateline. Not great things on a "News" platform.

But that begs the question: is Hacker News a "news" site? Despite having "news" in the name, I prefer to think of it more as a "Directory of Mostly Wonderful [Hacker] Things". At least, that's what I lurk here.

That use of “begs the question” is unfortunate. “Raises the question” would be more cromulent, provided that cromulence can be compared.

While some may accuse you of pedantry, I applaud your embiggening others' understanding of this common mistake.

I stand by "begs the question" - it's perfectly cromulent for all "intensive purposes". (/s ~ in all seriousness, I appreciate the correction!)

I see it like this: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

The cromulent way to describe HN is "news aggregator".

Oh come on, this is a perfectly cromulent submission.

TIL that’s what those are called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byline

Makes sense since it’s a line that says who it’s by :v

looks like it was first published in 2016
