I wonder if a regexp for a short comment containing a single date would work. I expect comments matching that regex are streaming by, Matrix style, on one of dang's many monitors¹, as he sips his morning cold-pressed flat grey². In fact, with a bit of practice, there is probably a regexp that catches all of them.

¹ I haven't seen dang's workstation, I'm just imagining.

² Sorry, doing it again.

it could simply be looking at https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments :)

Undoubtedly dang has a continuous feed of incoming comments, scrolling like Twitter, each with a flag and banhammer button.

I'm afraid it's pretty random.
