I'd expect HN to not let duplicates to be submitted.

Attention to "in the last year or so". The same link was posted 13-14h ago, not "1 year or so ago".

They have explicitly stated that are ok with retrying recent overlooked stories just in case a story got missed or buried for whatever reason.

They are also ok with reposting year+ old stories that did get significant attention at the time, since the new respost may find a new audience.

I see. Well, it actually happens all the time.
