My very first programming language was Liberty BASIC from a “for dummies” book. He’s had such a big influence on so many developers. Rip in peace

I had the same Problem. Had to check all the headlines until I found it one page back.
I would also like this feature.

I could be wrong (and probably am) but I think the black bar stays up for 24 hours.
So it is not surprising if the article moved to the second page when the person does not have instant name recognition.
Like a lot of things on HN, despite being enough effort that someone might complain, going to the second page is not a terrible inconvenience for the minimally curious.

The article was up all day yesterday, but the bar only appeared today.
brudgers 448 days ago [-]
To me that makes some sense because the news had to break first…

A simple title attribute would be an easy addition.

Exactly, this is what I was expecting upon hovering over it.

I didn't know either. I searched has died and limited the search to 24 hours and figured it that way.
Once in a while I try to click on the black band, hoping that my long awaited feature has been implemented. That it will point to a page that lists the memorials.

This is a great idea. A log of moderator actions on HN generally would be a good idea, imo.

I think that would be exploited by bad actors- they could e.g. figure out what time of day mods are inactive to best circumvent rules, and know when things were removed in order to re-add them immediately.
aspenmayer 447 days ago [-]
I would posit that bad actors already know these all of these things in the status quo absence of desired transparency, with none of the upside or insights that transparency would bring.
johnisgood 448 days ago [-]
That would be great for transparency indeed, the question is whether or not they want to be transparent.
The feature requests mentioned are pretty easy to implement.

This is usually added when there's been a significant death relevant to the HN crowd. However, I don't see a related post, so it's possible that it's a mistake this time.
laksmanv 448 days ago [-]
Agree, did the same.

Thomas E. Kurtz has died https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42141761
And didn't see anything stand out.
It would be a nice feature. If you feel strongly, email dang: hn@ycombinator.com
p.s. thanks @mtmail for sharing the submission for this case.
