Did dang get hacked?

Wow you guys don't miss much do you? Two different things were going on here:

I was working on some spam filters and posting some test comments to verify some of that. That was 34285936. I posted a few and deleted them but apparently neglected to delete that one. I've done so now.

The other two were related to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33855594, which I sent a repost invite for. I was going through the previous stories about Paul Otlet and noticed that http://nautil.us/issue/21/information/the-future-of-the-web-... doesn't exist any more - so I posted an archive.org link in those two threads. This will be useful if and when we have a new thread about Otlet's Mundaneum.

Uh, this is indeed weird. Hope all is ok.

For those curious and without showdead, the first link was posted 1h ago, and shows:

"For ok whatfix swaptoAPP blahhhh"

dang using live environment / account for dev / staging work, just as the rest of us;)

Mescaline, I can tell by some of the pixels and having seen many weird trips in my time

Maybe he uses LastPass

Super bizarre, doesn't really seem like the behaviour of a hacked account either (those usually use their fifteen seconds of fame to promote cryptocurrency scams or to troll).

It's probably just two accidents (making a mistake when pasting a link, then the HN comment equivalent of pocket-dialling) in a row.

edit: ah nm, he's posted a comment :D

Might be a test in production? The first link is dead now.

If I were a betting man, I'd probably say either a pocket typing sort of situation (for the latter two) or a kid or animal gallivanting on/around the keyboard for the first.

maybe he's trying to code some kinda automation and running it on prod and the code is misbehaving.

Hope all is ok.

There's nothing to worry about guys, he's always been like that. You're simply paying too much attention - new year's goals, eh?

Seems like production repl access went wrong somehow

Why was this thread removed from the front page?
