I believe according the HN rules original sources should be preferred over journalistic coverage.

But given the fact that probably a minority here will greatly benefit from the academic paper or the patches, I'd say the Arstechnica article is an excellent compromise.

Edit: The article is well-written IMHO, but I nearly did classify "sends scrambling" in the title as clickbait not worth opening.


preferred over journalistic coverage.

That's not in HN's rules - original sources are preferred but often good reporting is the best source especially when the thing being reported has multiple sources. The goal is really quality rather originalness.


Ah, I remembered the wording wrong. It says:

> Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.

Yours seems to be an interpretation, too.


It's an interpretation you can find a lot of support for in the dangscripture.
