I think that might be a slight exaggeration. At present, zero of the stories on the HN front page appear to be about Node.js.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoMy last ten coin flips were heads, but overall, heads is roughly half.
- gjm11 10y agoThe HN front page is 30 items. Of those, none were about Node.js when I made that comment. Right now, none are about Node.js and, though I don't trust my memory much, it's a largely different selection of items. If half of all HN front page items were about Node.js on average, the probability of getting (let's say, conservatively) 40 with none about Node.js would be (1/2)^40 or about 10^-12. Of course people exaggerate and I am fallible. If 30% of all HN front page items are about Node.js on average, the probability of getting at most one such item out of 40 is about 10^-5. Which is, y'know, still much less likely than ten consecutive heads when flipping a coin.
