>‘BUTTHOLIO’
These guys always seem to have the most stereotypical or corny hacker handles. Is that expected / desirable in that community?
- taspeotis 2y agoI believe the hacker known as 4chan once explained they choose their handles “for the lulz”
- Apocryphon 2y agoLegion of Doom / Masters of Deception would like a word.
- tedunangst 2y agoPhiber Optik just doesn't have the same haha you said peepee vibe.
- Apocryphon 2y agoI do think it’s funny how that might be a character revealing moment, suggesting the hacker is Gen X or at least elder millennial age.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoI did toy with the idea of trying do analysis of HN aliases and keywords. It never went anywhere, because I forgot about it, but a longer weekend is coming:D But yeah, language betrays, who we are in references alone.
- gopher_space 2y agoThere's no way you could determine how old a person is or what technologies they enjoyed way back in college solely from a username.
- willvarfar 2y agoAre you just trying to goad them into showing they can? :D
- kasey_junk 2y ago-gopher- space made the comment you are replying to.
- oefrha 2y agoHave fun analyzing the alias I pulled from /dev/urandom!
- imp0cat 2y agoKnows of the existence of /dev/urandom, must be old! ;)
- aaronbrethorst 2y agocorny I see what you did there.
- juunpp 2y agoThe real question is: who calls their company "Snowflake"? It's just crying to get stomped on.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoSnowflake did the biggest epic fail of the ZIRP era. They bought streamlit (a python GUI front end for ML demos) for 800 MILLION dollars. https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/02/snowflake-acquires-streamlit-for-800m-to-help-customers-build-data-based-apps/?guccounter=1 https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/02/snowflake-acquires-streaml... Huggingface bought its biggest competitor, Gradio (still used more than Streamlit) for an "undisclosed" amount of money a year or so before hand. I'd wager HF paid on the orders of 1-5 million.
- bagels 2y agoThat is amazing! What a coup. I thought streamlit was pretty cool, but surely it wasn't $800m cool.
- rawgabbit 2y agoSalesforce purchased Mulesoft for $6.5 billion. Mulesoft was so successful they decided to buy a different ETL tool Informatica. But the deal fell through. Mulesoft has about 1500 clients vs 9500 clients for Informatica.
- rajamaka 2y agoComparing a disclosed sale price to an unknown theoretical sale price is a bit unfair though. Maybe it was 801 million.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoNo way, HF didn't have anywhere near that kind of money when they acquired Gradio. I think they did it back in 2020 or 2019. I know for a fact it was a tiny sum.

- ethbr1 2y agoWhy would they need tp?
- red-iron-pine 2y agoಠ_ಠ edit: okay fine I'll bite -- because of chicken piccata
- mikeyouse 2y agoThe bungholio name is a reference to the bevis and butthead name where they’d say, “I am cornholio, I need TP for my bunghole”. You really had to be there. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LHv2dIM3t9I https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LHv2dIM3t9I
