FWIW, he prescribes things that worked for him - "These four helped me:"

A quick search on HN revealed this very page has been posted 5 times before.

All the recent discussion about improving the "quality" of the HN front page seems more relevant with so many repeat-posts popping up quite often.

However HN gets new visitors all the time, something old could be new to me, and something old to me could be new to you.

So, would it be okay to keep re-posting (high quality) stuff because it is new to me? btw, the most recent post of the Graphing Calculator Story was 4 weeks ago.

NB: My comment was not about the quality of this particular post. The story is inspiring, of course.

I wonder what the rationale is behind letting the same link be resubmitted (especially after it's been frontpaged once)

If you submit a repeat URL it normally upvotes the first submission and redirects you their. This only happens for about a week though.

Chalk it up to another thing that could be improved but won't because news.arc is designed more for elegance and showing off arc.
