All: don't miss that there are multiple pages of comments in this thread. That's what the "More" link at the bottom of the page points to. Or click here:
I would prefer a different term than "REMOTE for the moment" to make it easier to search for permanent remote jobs.
Something like "Temporary WFH for COVID".
I bet it is also more accurate. I am assuming that many of these temp remote jobs would likely require you to be in living in one of the states they have offices in for legal/logistics reasons. So you likely won't be working remotely in the Bahamas.
I always thought there might be value to having all threads rendered collapsed down to first-level comments.
All too often a first level comment will results in sprawling thread with hundreds of sub-comments. If you want to look thought first level comments first you have to scroll through that entire sub-thread to get there. Not so bad on the desktop but a bit of a pain on mobile.
It's a good idea, but the plan is to improve performance so we can go back to not paginating at all. HN traditionally just served up large threads the same way as small ones. That seems much better, and I fear making the current workaround too 'nice' since then we might never fix the issue properly.
I agree wholeheartedly with @abtinf that don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Of course you've said a proper solution is being designed, but in the interim, it's a bit masochistic for us to have to scroll to the bottom of the page just to click through to the next page when the "More" hyperlink could also be added to the top of the page.
FWIW, I've suggested this change before [0], but nonetheless thanks for all you do.
Yes - I have to say it is a little frustrating that there isn't an easy way to find new postings. Would be great to be able to sort comments by new. Or maybe there's a way to do this with third party services?
I think floating the "More" link to the top is a great idea for such a valuable recurring thread. In the meantime, I got annoyed and threw together a minimal full-text search to canvas opportunities faster: https://hnjobs.lifeoverip.dev/
