If it makes you feel any better, this is the first time I've ever seen this before, so reposting isn't always a bad thing. Was an interesting read, love the effects in Tron and it's good to see some insight into it (especially those not on HN in 2010).

Don't worry, I'm not reading HN articles from 2010, so it's a rediscovery for me when this events occur.

I really enjoyed reading this an hadn't seen it before. I think that posting the date, like you did, should remove anybody's expectation that this was fresh content anyway. Regardless of previous posts on HN.

I use Hacker News'd which is a pretty cool Chrome extension that tells you (and links to) HN submissions for any URL https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-newsd/njdnd...

Just remove all of the weird cruft from the end of the query string, check to see if the link still works, and submit. HN will tell you if you've duplicated an old url.

Submitting "jtnimoy.net/?q=178" would have sent you to the original submission.

> Well that's embarrassing. Looks like I need to revamp my searching skills.

Shouldn't be your job, the web site should take care of it.

Then again, Hacker News' code base looks like it hasn't been touched in six years.

It's still awesome even if it is a couple of years old.
