Tangent - I’ve noticed a lot more comments like this using the “^0” syntax for citations vs the traditional “[0]” one I’ve become accustomed to seeing on HN. Is there a real shift happening here and, if so, why?

Sorry about that, thanks for pointing it out. I'll learn.

It's a bit non-standard, and if it's trying to follow the wikipedia citation style then it's the wrong way round.

Checking to see if supported on HN [^1]

Edit: nope :)
