Hacker News home page spoof

i'd forgotten i'd written this a year and a half ago, and when a friend passed me the link to it just now, it seemed hilarious to me. probably some other people will enjoy it too

Hacker News home page spoof launched on August 9, 2023 with 47 votes, #1,472 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Hacker News Home Page Spoof is a parody recreation of the Hacker News homepage. Created as a humorous project, it mimics the familiar interface and style of the popular news aggregator site. The spoof is designed for anyone who enjoys satire and wants a comedic take on tech community culture. It serves as a lighthearted joke rather than a functional news platform.

Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...).
