- arthurcolle 4y agoYeah, no question. I'm sure it is coming.
- ulkesh 4y agoI was thinking the same thing. I'm surprised it's taking this long, honestly. He's such an icon and major player in the history of the computer industry. Edit>> Though I suppose there's a confirmation process HN goes through before sporting the black band.
- zymhan 4y ago> Edit>> Though I suppose there's a confirmation process HN goes through before sporting the black band. I'm sure HN is willing to defer that research to someone like Intel in this case.
- splatzone 4y agoLet’s not assume badly of them. The real reason is likely that the person who changes it to black (dang?) isn’t around to do it right now.
- ulkesh 4y agoWow, you downvoters are harsh. Okay I learned my lesson not to assume someone has a phone or PC next to them and can simply flip a switch in a matter of 30 seconds. Cool.
- arthurcolle 4y agoAs of 00:44 EST, black bar is showing. Please chill with your inane takes on why this "wasn't fast enough"
- Sparkyte 4y agoAgreed
- tigerlily 4y agoI once had a nightmare that Knuth died, and at first there was a thin black bar on the HN site. Clicking around, suddenly the whole topcolor turned black. Lastly the entire HN page turned black text on black background. I was just like "it's cool, they're taking this seriously". It was just so weird and believable at the same time.
