- dang 8y agoAdded. Thanks!
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoHow do you do that? With all the stories in play, and all the comments being added, how do you notice within four minutes that one of them says to add the date to a title?
- Robin_Message 8y agoI wonder if a regexp for a short comment containing a single date would work. I expect comments matching that regex are streaming by, Matrix style, on one of dang's many monitors¹, as he sips his morning cold-pressed flat grey². In fact, with a bit of practice, there is probably a regexp that catches all of them. ¹ I haven't seen dang's workstation, I'm just imagining. ² Sorry, doing it again.
- lucbocahut 8y agoit could simply be looking at https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments :)
- pjc50 8y agoUndoubtedly dang has a continuous feed of incoming comments, scrolling like Twitter, each with a flag and banhammer button.
- dang 8y agoI'm afraid it's pretty random.
