- mfoy_ 8y agoI enjoy it each time I come back across it. :)
- kposehn 8y agoI had no idea it was written by him until now. I see it on HN usually once a year and every time it brings a smile to my face. Elegant, simple and meaningful.
- sneak 8y agoI don’t get much meaning from it. What do you take away from it?
- 52-6F-62 8y agoI loved The Martian, and I had never caught this on HN before. Thank you to OP for reposting once again. That is a fantastic story. Really wonderful. I'd never seen his site. I'll be sure to read more, now.
- qznc 8y agoInteresting. I check HN daily since its beginning, but I cannot remember reading The Egg.
- duck 8y agoSubmitted vs. making front-page are two different things, so it looks like 2010 would of been the only other time it would of been there. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=galactanet.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=galactanet.com
- dEnigma 8y agoI'm pretty sure it was on the front page more often than that, probably as a link to another, secondary source. I've certainly seen it on the front page some time after 2010. Update: An example is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7203095 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7203095
- duck 8y agoAh, interesting. Thanks for pointing that out!
- dEnigma 8y agoTurns out that it's actually the same domain, and it also shows up in your list. I just didn't notice it (same as you, apparently ;) )
- duck 8y agoHa, I now see it and realize I upvoted it as well... which is also why I think I missed it. The upvote arrows act as a bullet point and thus I think I skipped right over that one since it was missing.
- tzahola 8y agoActually, it was written by me. I mean you.
