This is the kind of quirky, brilliant link I crave from Hacker News. If I was near you creator, I would garland you and rub your feet.

  Interesting. You consider it a waste of time. So this post from you must be an example of the sunk cost fallacy, as you throw good time after bad.

  I think you're both right. It's a fun little page that doesn't actually serve any purpose, like... comedic art? The practical solutions to this opinion divide are to somehow categorize entries like this as [funny] or whatever so people can skip them informedly, or to simply accept that HN aggregates content that appeals to different minds.

  The point is it's a lot easier to remember facade than ffb6c1. Also since when did HN posts need a point?!

  This is the kind of thing HN is for. That's not to say it's not also great at incubating overly-pedantic technocratic bikeshedding of computing minutiae, which has its place. Don't ever change, HN.

  Let's keep having threads with 4 comments discussing the latest Haskell library borefest then. Threads like this have their place.

  I personally find it uninteresting, but I don't think it decreases the value of HN or the quality of the community-- people will find novelty in different things. It also seems like the kind of content that the guidelines praise. I appreciate when people deep-dive into niche topics because it fosters (in my subjective view) the best type of discussion.

  It’s one of those ‘do it because you can’ kind of things. I wouldn’t spend time doing it myself, but happy to see others do it.

  How old are you by chance? There's a chance younger people simply won't understand or appreciate the interest in DEADBEEF. Personally I found it kind of neat and wondered if I could design a colour palette out of rememberable code names. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadbeef https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadbeef https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak Heh looks like this has been done before too: http://bada55.io/ http://bada55.io/
