- ayewo 3y agoIt’s possible the gp intended to post the HN link but mistakenly pasted the link to the article. No need to come down so hard on them for a simple mistake. Regardless, they are right that this thread is the original. Perhaps dang can swing by to merge the two threads.

- gpvos 3y agoThe URLs are byte-for-byte the same, I thought HN would catch that and treat the new submission as an upvote to the older one, at least with such a short interval between them.
- dang 3y agoThey were more like 2 days apart but the older one (39813267) got picked for the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), so it got a random placement on HN's front page. I need to fix the software so it doesn't do that with dupes, but it's a rare enough case so it keeps getting postponed. Sorry!
- ayewo 3y agodang, oh, so it was the 2nd chance pool. Thanks for the explanation.
- abrookewood 3y agoYes sorry, I didn't realise I'd copied the article link instead of the HN link.
