- ignoramous 8y agoA little bit of trivia for people who might not know: cpercival was an integral part of one of the favourite HN threads of all time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35079 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35079

- aerovistae 8y agoIs cpercival supposed to be a name people recognize? I just googled it and didn't find any substantial identifying information. Who is that?
