How to check who the black bar is honoring?

I agree, that would be a good feature.

Thomas E. Kurtz has died https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42141761

I checked a few pages of https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2024-11-14

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.

I believe it is for Thomas Kurtz, one of the two people who created the BASIC language.

I had the same Problem. Had to check all the headlines until I found it one page back.

I would also like this feature.

A simple title attribute would be an easy addition.

I didn't know either. I searched has died and limited the search to 24 hours and figured it that way.

About the black bar unchanging:

Or pin the thread to top 5 articles while the bar is in effect.

I typically run this search:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=fal...

I just did this search to figure it out:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=fal...

We have already suggested this below my original comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35305018

Still waiting... :(

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.

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.

Agree, did the same.

Not a bug lol, I see it too!
