I'm echoing others, but the article on rust async/await seems good.

You may or may not agree with the conclusions of the post, but its a technical topic with at least some specific exploration of the (performance/code writing) issues, that links to quite a few further topics for exploration.

That said, I noted more than a few typos in the article, so I wonder if there is generally a spell check filter for article quality.

I also found this one interesting. I don't agree with the article, but its an interesting viewpoint and I learned a bit about what some people are doing with git. I couldn't tell you why it dropped (unpopular)?

Which is where its possible that this (new) tool falls short, it can't actually tell what was censored, just what wasn't popular.

Unpopular things sometimes are so because they fly in the face of conventional wisdom, but aren't actually wrong or invaluable, which might be the real value of this tool.

It is really not. It is a rant that produced no good discussion anywhere else on the internet. It has no novel insight and is dressed up in a really ugly way. I'm not saying HN should have removed it, but I don't mind that it got flagged.
