Speeding up Docker Builds With eatmydata
Post with text insted of an URL get a penalty, so it's more difficult that they reach the front page (unofficial faq with more details https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented?tab=re... )
My suggestion is to repost the link in a new submission (URL only, empty text), and add your explanation as as a comment.

Clarity on how posts are hidden or marked as dead
> it's hard to engage without understanding the rules.
On the other hand, if you fully understand them it’s easier for spammers to circumvent them and changes would have to be done way slower (because they’d have to be documented every time).
You’ll sometimes find posts by dang explaining various policies, and there are some sources which try to document the undocumented:

It is my understanding some websites (like dev.to) are automatically killed due to a prevalence of low quality posts. But users with showed enabled can still see those and vouch for them, which brings them back alive. Posts may also be flagged by users for a variety of reasons such as the subject having been posted and discussed multiple times in the last few days, essentially making the new post a duplicate.

Hacker News is extremely strongly manipulated. What users see as popularity order is actually the order edited to the moderators' liking.

A List of Hacker News's Undocumented Features and Behaviors
Unfortunately it still doesn't mention "rate limited" accounts[0], which is extremely confusing when it happens to you. It's happened to me on this account, I can't comment more than 5 times per some arbitrary period - I'm guessing 24 hour UTC.
No explanation or information is given - you don't even know until HN seems broken and you go searching. dang mentioned that's something they'd like to impove, but given the slow movement of HN features, I doubt it will.
Note that none of this is meant as a slight on dang - I respect the work he does and really like the site, but it doesn't make it less frustrating. The result will be me rolling a new account (against site guidelines), as I have no other privacy preserving way of handling the issue.

Game-icons.net: Free icons for your games
Not me, because I can't yet, but I can shed some light.
That comment brings nothing to the table. An upvote would have given the same meaning. This is not reddit, and some of us would prefer it to remain different. Low effort comments tend to be downvoted, and interesting ones upvoted.
So uplift your comments, say why you are thankful, what will be your use case, where you wouldn't use the OPs icons, ... give some information, not just noise.
Here [0] is some more information about downvotes.

Bountysource Stole at Least $17,000 from Open Source Developers
There's fraud and embezzlement in non-profits all the time. Just entering that in a search engine shows tons of examples: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=fraud+and+embezzlement+in+n...
When I was involved in scouts this was a thing as well; not even always due to malice, sometimes also due to incompetence and/or inattention.

Microsoft killed my favorite keyboard
that one is good, but I detest keyboards with their own magic little dongle since it's a damn fine thing to misplace
I'm surprised OP didn't enjoy https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-ergonomic-keyboard... which is currently listed as out of stock but I dunno if that means "permanently" or what, but they seem to be available via 3rd party channels
Its "klacking" aside, pour one out for https://duckduckgo.com/?q=microsoft+natural+elite+keyboard&t... which I loved, although I'll be straight that I love the Surface Ergonomic better because I think its keytravel is much, much nicer and no weirdo + shaped cursor keys, the inverted T like $diety intended

Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?
Sculpture can be tactile. I know it's not purely tactile, but thinking of it in that way is becoming a lot more common (eg at the Louvre). And then I went to find a URL for the tactile dome at the Exploratorium in San Francisco (https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/tactile-dome) and it turns out there are lots of tactile galleries now:
