  Fun there's enough posts in HN you could type your DOB (no leading zero) and find a submission for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=52590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=52590

    It took me a moment to think through what a leading zero on a DOB meant and that it wasn't a Long Now foundation thing.

    52950 What format of DOB is that? M/DD/YY?

      Or possibly a Julian date for a first-millennial.

    There are actually enough that you can type your DOB in the format YYYYMMDD and find a submission for it! This has been true since https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=20190615 https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=20190615 was posted on June 15, 2019.

  1 indexed? Edit: HN is apparently written in Arc, a dialect of Lisp.

    Almost all DBs have a default starting ID of 1.
    • tomhoward 2y ago
      Indeed, though HN didn't use a database when it was first built. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3515628 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3515628

    And Arc is (or was?) implemented in Racket, another language in the Lisp family and closely related to Scheme.

  Crazy that there was no original iphone announcement post. Would have happened between https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=62 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=62 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=63 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=63
