I wasn't being snarky, it's a serious question. Is there something especially relevant about cuckoo hashing that led someone to submit it?

- vlad 18y agoIt's interesting enough to be voted up to the front page. The front page is a snapshot in time of an algorithm that lists submissions according to the function of time and votes for each item. Voting represents a multitude of motivations, including to show agreement, increase discussion, reward the submitter, or mark the story for future reading or reference.[1] [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=yourid http://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=yourid
- aschobel 18y agoCrazy Bob http://twitter.com/crazybob http://twitter.com/crazybob was talking about cuckoo hashing yesterday. Maybe that inspired somebody to post the story? shrug
- neilc 18y agoI thought it was an interesting algorithm that I hadn't seen anywhere else. I think that is perfectly sufficient justification for submitting it; as for making it to the frontpage, ask the people who modded it up.
- michael_dorfman 18y agoI found it interesting, too: I was just wondering if there was some relevance that I was missing.
