I wasn't expecting to find this on the front page considering they've been floating around Twitter/etc for over a week. But I'll certainly make use of the opportunity to say the new site is entirely Node based and the team is interested in hiring more good Node devs in NYC. Contact me if interested, email in profile!
404. PAGE Not FOUND

Re: 404. PAGE Not FOUND
#22Maybe I am no fun, but I find this error page disorienting and a little disturbing. Errors pages mean you've probably messed up somehow and are associated with user frustration. This page, and the other Bloomberg error pages posted in the comments, do not help to mitigate that. Github does a nice job of walking the line of cutesy, but useful error pages. But then again, who doesn't love Octocat? https://github.com/40…
If I tilt my iPad the sign on that 500 page moves...

#24I thought it was an old boring Java/C++ place, but it seems that they can have some fun :).
C++, sure, but their other main language is actually FORTRAN...

#25Probably that's the first #1 item on HN which always stays black/unread. Nice hack.

Yep, we have an entire hardware engineering team that maintains our fleet of time machines that we use to travel back to 1987 to recruit new FORTRAN programmers.
Actually, our second language is (server-side) JS.

Nice 404 page.
Perhaps you'd be interested in Glitch City Labs forums? (a topic from there got on HN frontpage before): http://forums.glitchcity.info

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
No fun allowed >;(
Rather no pointless content allowed. I'd say that the level of fun shouldn't decide wether it should be on hacker news at all. Unless it's the "meaningful" kind of fun. If it's the meaningless kind of fun together with meaningful content, then it should be judged by the meaningfulness. These are the rules that I just made up. Let it be so.
A world where the point is to have war, I mean, fun.

Cool! Looks like it'll do that in any browser + device combo that supports the device orientation API[1], including Safari on iOS and Chrome on most Mac laptops.
Here's little bit more information from a previous comment of mine, if you're interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6547345
