It somehow reminded me of the Ericsson Chatboard.

I don't think this is relevant. It's not a new standard is a complete paradigm shift.

Some tools might need to be used slightly different, others might no longer be needed.

Because it requires change the way you think about things is why so many people have problem with getting into it.

That link needs to be blocklisted from HN.

This is good pattern but not implemented correctly. It should rewrite to full correct url. It can be abuse like this:

/140/_/ThisProjectSucksDontUseIt-UseThisOneXXXXXX

That doesn't seem like a new problem to me - you can already give someone a link with extraneous info in it using query params and fragments:

cazim's point was that the url path should still work but rewrite back to the correct canonical URL.

Query strings and hashes are a little different, since those may contain information you might not want to scrub.

"Vanity" paths in particular can be rewritten because you often have a "correct" value for a given route.

You can rewrite the tail end of this URL to whatever you'd like but it will always redirect you back to the correct canonical slug.

Samsung also demonstrated 16TB NF1 SSDs. 36x 16TB in 1U so ~24PB in a 42U rack...
