Glad to see this article is up on the front page. I submitted it two days ago and it never got traction.

Question about article submissions - in the past when I've submitted a duplicate article it takes me to that HN posting instead. What are the edge cases where identical articles get posted separately on HN?

I believe the URL parameters at the end of the submitted URL above make it unique.

?sc=tw&cc=share&utm_source=buffer&buffer_share=f34b7

I've seen this issue pop up a few times before on HN.

Whoops--I had no idea! And I was shocked to see that it had this much traction myself.

No, it's cool that you got it up. I thought it was really neat from a visualization standpoint. You probably just submitted at a more fortunate time of day.
