I've been curious about this author's stuff trending on HN despite being of average quality at best and seriously problematic at worst, now I'm suspicious if there's some kind of reputation farming being attempted here.
The submission history of posts from nullprogram.com is… let's say… "odd"… several instances of double or triple posts, including doubles from the same submitter… @dang is this something you care about?
As an avid reader of it myself, nullprogram.com really can very one of these sites whose articles can very plausibly get recurringly posted by its readers (it's one of those sites that, when you're getting into C, you keep ending up at) rather than its author github.com/skeeto who I really would think is probably not hunting for HN points. Just a hunch tho, never know =)
Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42772832 (from same submitter - a retry after it didn't catch attention first time around?)
Correction: it's the 4th(!) post of this: also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42757076 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42753842
