Has this never been posted before?
- praeivis 12y agoIt was: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7815993 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7815993 but half year ago and no community reaction.
- FooBarWidget 12y agoNo community reaction doesn't mean anything. HN is so competitive these days, any submission HAS to get 5 upvotes within 10 minutes in order to reach the front page, and only when it reaches the front page will enough people upvote it. It's a catch-22.
- dang 12y agoActually two significant posts in the last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7604787 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7604787 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7682173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7682173 So by HN standards (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) this is unequivocally a dupe. But the community interest here seems genuine, so we won't apply the full penalty.
