Thank you, this was a fun read https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html And it was particularly nice to see that is by Jamie Zawinski of Zawinski's Law fame: "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

Directly linking to jwz from HN doesn't lead to the expected result though :)

  Sorry for being obtuse, but could you please explain what I'm missing. I hope to be one of today's lucky 10,000

    If you click the link you see a picture of an egg that looks like a hairy testicle with a quote complaining about HN. (Assuming you use a browser that sends the referer header)

      Lol. I don't know why, but apparently my browser isn't sending the referrer header, and I'm using vanilla chrome on Android. EDIT: Sorry, I think it might actually just be that because I first visited that page before coming in via HN, I've just been seeing the cached version of the real page, instead of the DDoS-protecting testicle.

    Jamie (JWZ) doesn't like Hacker News, so like several other sites he detects this site in referrer headers sent by browsers and if it's present you get a custom image instead of what you wanted to read. I think it's currently this: https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png https://cdn.jwz.org/images/2016/hn.png

      >Jamie (JWZ) doesn't like Hacker News Having read his blog for years, I don't think he likes anything or anyone. Not even his nightclub, based on his the past 2.5 years simultaneously a) describing COVID19 as an existential threat to humanity, b) insisting on/bragging about maintaining super-strict requirements for patrons (when San Francisco loosened restrictions, he of course denounced the city as going "against science"), and c) lamenting the continued money drain that his club is.
