- wodenokoto 5y agoI think it was posted twice and the old one merged into this one. I posted on this article yesterday or the day before, yet my top level comment says “two hours ago” at the time of writing this.

- dang 5y agoWe had put the first submission (the current one - 28596178) in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308). It was sitting there waiting to get lobbed randomly onto the front page when the later submission (28603398) coincidentally became a big thread. After that, the original submission still got lobbed onto the front page. We should fix the code to handle sort of case, but it's pretty rare.
