Yes, it is wrong. Take the top one: > We rewrote it in Rust so you have to upvote it I'm pretty sure they didn't go through all the trouble of rewriting it in Rust to get some internet forum points!

Usually, people highlight functional/architectural changes over superficial things like language choice.

That's true. But it is also true that almost nobody rewrites a whole complex software in Rust to get internet forum points from HN people.

Your question was "Is it wrong, though?" The answer is "Yes"

Doesn't seem to be live, otherwise there'd be one that says "Hacker News front page now, but the titles are slop"

OK, so the "Storing data in the network ... " title made me remember something. If you transmit a message to Mars, say a rover command sequence, and the outgoing buffer is deleted on the sending side (the original code is preserved, but the transmission-encoded sequence doesn't stick around), then that data, for 20-90 minutes, exists nowhere _except_ space. It's just random-looking electrical fluctuations that are pr…

It's just a fancy form of delay-line memory [1].

There is an archive of a lot of television transmission in space.
