- rdtsc 8mo agoIt is the full circle! patio11 refers to that explicitly in the blog. But most people here probably saw and remember Pat's blog more than the book.

- bigiain 8mo agoYou're almost certainly right. But I bet the tables tip distinctly the other way if you're talking about HN readers instead of everybody. So I'd guess you're both right.
