I'm honestly confused - why is a wikipedia page about an old computer architecture on the front page of HN?
- news_to_me 7y agoBecause it's interesting! I think it is, at least. From the guidelines: > What to Submit > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
- messe 7y agoWhy wouldn't it be on the front of HN?
- angersock 7y agoYeah, it's taking up valuable space we could be using for content marketing, politics, clickbait, or startupcanistan circlejerking! </s>
- ncmncm 7y agoBecause it has legs. Hundreds of thousands -- maybe millions? -- of MIPS-derived chips are still made every day.
