I don't think "posting all xkcd cartoons" is near happening in HN at all. This one it's pretty close to the HN main interests (academy research and/or entrepreneurism)

Actually we've been through that. Not sure why it (thankfully) stopped.

My guess is that it stopped because there are no longer any HN readers who both like xkcd and don't check it anyway. We reached xkcd-awareness saturation a couple of years ago.

I think there's a reason to post this one in particular - to set up a comments thread on HN about it.

I kind of thought it had harsher implications for Academia - for every self-congratulatory paper of something new, it's already been done a hundred times in the "Real World" in an unheralded source control repository.
