lmao. noted crazy how influential that little book is. funny enough, I grew up on Ready Player One, and by the time i got old enough to start seriously getting into tech, reading Snow Crash was like re-reading RP1 but if RP1 was actually a good story and not written by an incel copying Neal Stephenson.

>> 'incel copying Neal Stephenson.' Wow.

where'd you find out about this algolia link? any other cool HN-adjacent tools that might not be well known?
That would be search window at the bottom of the main HN page. You can use it to find the thread last week that points all the other HN secrets.
thanks

#14Yes, good book, but out of date. How many snow crashes have you seen? I can recall triggering them on retro computers like a Color Computer 3 running OS-9, and a Sun 3, but since then, hardware seems to have changed in a fundamental way that doesn't allow snow crashes.
