You are correct that these no longer apply to the most recent Node versions. Crankshaft is still being used in Node <8.3.0.
Crankshaft got totally disabled starting from V8 5.9. Node 8.2.1 uses V8 5.8.283.41, Node 8.3.0 uses V8 6.0.286.52.
I'm pretty sure there is still a big number of projects running on Node <= 8.3.0.
I'll make it clear in this project README though, whenever I find time. :)

When I created this github repo, it was because stack overflow wasn't suitable for this. Then I created a website (the now defunkt resrc.io) which could pull these kind of lists from github, parse the links, have them tagged in a database, parse the link content, make it searchable, etc.
It still wasn't suitable. And I'm still looking for a suitable way of curating such lists, be it on github or anywhere else.

Since I don't want to answer to every post suggesting something, I'll do it here: I know we could do better in terms of curating this content.
I would be very happy to discuss ideas towards the goal of better curation of these lists. Please open an issue on github or shoot me an email!
I also have to say I started this thing 3(?) years ago, and today I have less and less time to take care of it. I closed around 1800 PRs, which means almost 2 per day over the last years. I'm extremely grateful to the contributors helping me maintaining this and I'm glad it's been useful to a couple million people (according to the stats). Should anyone serious want to contribute in a more involved way, please step forward, I could really use some relief. :)
My email is on github, my twitter is in my HN profile.

> 1. The Confederation has to implement a basic income.
> 2. This basic income has to be sufficient to live in dignity and participate to public life.
> 3. The basic income amount and financing are regulated by law.
Nothing regarding the exact amount. Swiss people were asked to vote on an idea, not on a specific amount.

I had a Lenovo X200s for over 4 years and finding a viable replacement is almost impossible.
I am saddened by the fact that there are no i7 / 16GB / highDPI with decent keyboard at the price of a 2015 Retina MBP.

vhf | 11 years ago | on: Algorithmic tagging of Hacker News or any other site
I have been doing some research towards automatic tagging lately, and I found several Python project coming close to this goal : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/topia.termextract/ , https://github.com/aneesha/RAKE , https://github.com/ednapiranha/auto-tagify
but none of them is satisfying, whereas Algorithmic Tagging of HN looks pretty good.
I have been trying to implement a similar feature for http://reSRC.io, to automagically tag articles for easy retrieval through the tag search engine.
