I submitted it ten days ago, it got no comments or upvotes, so submitting it again is totally fine. Only submissions with some attention make something a dupe.
I'm not saying it's a dupe. I was referring to the fact that the HN timestamp says it was posted 3 days ago yet the comments are only 10 minutes old yet I remember reading the comments days ago.
I was wondering if I had gone insane or if there is some bug with HN.
Not complaining about this being a dupe at all.
For the record, I have nothing against you reposting it, but I am weirded out when the timestamps don't match my memory.
That time stamp effect is probably the second chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool). Those submissions get their time stamp mangled because it‘s easier for the ranking algorithm.
Sometimes "very interesting stuff" gets resubmitted by the HN gods for a second try and it messes up the timestamp too, although I guess in this case it was a resubmission indeed
This has also left me confused with timestamps that make no sense based on my memory. I thought I was going crazy recently because I was trying to find a way to make sense of things with the expectation that the timestamps couldn't magically change!
