DeadBeef News: Like the Onion but for Programming and Startups
- bvanslyke 12y agoPainfully unfunny.
- willcodeforfoo 12y agoThe site and content is hosted on Github (https://github.com/deadbeefnews/deadbeefnews.github.io https://github.com/deadbeefnews/deadbeefnews.github.io) I wonder if they support pull requests?
- jordanjustice 12y agoYep, submit an article!
- jszymborski 12y agoAhaha really good, although usually one writes more than 4 posts before starting a site like this.
- optimusclimb 12y agoWe already have techcrunch.
- xasos 12y agoAnd /r/programmingcirclejerk ;)

- perrupa 12y agoI find this entirely too accurate.
- VikingCoder 12y agoIn case it's not obvious... D E A D B E E F Those are all valid hexadecimal characters. Much like C A F E B A B E for Java class files.
- Amorymeltzer 12y agoOne of many other examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak
- fbellag 12y agoAnd antagonist to freshmeat.net?
- dugmartin 12y agoIt's also a common filler to initialize memory for easier debugging later.
- eaurouge 12y agoI thought the Google Skynet was funny, and there's potential for a few more jokes there. FYI, we check out at the checkout (first story).
- ArekDymalski 12y agoI'd describe these four published so far as moderately funny - slight smile inducing, no LOL, no meh. So keep them coming. The jokes are something that many comedians develop through iterations :)
- puranjay 12y agoTo be fair, I get a proper LOL from Onion maybe once in 15 days (not counting their videos, which are always hilarious). Onion's stories are always smart though and the satire biting. Plus, it's always easier to satirize politicians than programmers.
- jarcane 12y agoWith the Onion, it's always the headlines than nail it, better than the body. In a way, they've been doing parody tweets since 1988.
- joshuahedlund 12y agoOne of the first sites I've seen in the wild on a new TLD. Interesting choice.
- Symbiote 12y agoThe others in the 30 pages of HN are: http://fucklove.paris http://fucklove.paris, http://proofs.wiki http://proofs.wiki, http://vart.institute http://vart.institute and http://paperwork.rocks http://paperwork.rocks
- xasos 12y agoSomeone made a TechCrunch parody site like this called TrapCrunch[1] a while back as well. [1] http://trapcrunch.com/ http://trapcrunch.com/
- puranjay 12y agoThat site is actually funny. Haven't seen any updates in months. Any idea what happened?
- vezzy-fnord 12y agoSegfault used to be at the top of the game back in the day: http://web.archive.org/web/20021207224656/http://www.segfault.org/stories/ http://web.archive.org/web/20021207224656/http://www.segfaul...
- aakilfernandes 12y ago> DOUGLAS CROCKFORD ADMITS '!' OPERATOR THE ONLY GOOD PART OF JAVASCRIPT Now that's funny
