I was just demoing the convenience of the repl to Ev Kontsevoy of Mailgun.


I'm really amused by the fact that not only do you make visible modifications to a popular site you own as a talking point, but as other comments suggest, you seem to make a habit of it.


is this his mother?


How do you mean?


Probably attached a repl to a running web server instance and interacted with it "live"?


ah! I thought he meant "reply".

repl.

I'm such a programming n00b.



May well be run from the repl always.


9 months ago I caught a screenshot of it titled "Katelyn News" as well:

The green title bar is just my personal setting, that didn't change.


im katelyn :)


Good catch. Wonder if pg was doing something similar


nice. gender specific. i'd be able to get rid of my gf. :)


pg was playing drinking games with @ev and he lost a bet? :)


What does "(click source for full scrnsht)" mean?


The source link is the little square icon with "dl.dropbox.com" text label, it links to http://dl.dropbox.com/u/560599/scrnshts/evnews.png which is the full-size image.


i linked the screenshot as the source on my tumblr post.

I saw it too. It changed back on refresh.


So glad I'm not the only one. Been wracking my brain trying to think why it'd have a rename, even for a day.


I've been checking HN off and on all day, and I only saw it once.


sorry, I mean't why it would be renamed, not that it had been. Like when pg puts the blackbar at the top for a death, maybe this was related to something.


so this was not an hoax? (not just a modified screenshot I mean)

Did you get Biz news Ryan or its that 'shopped?

Very odd, Biz and Ev.


Oh FFS Doug. Just realised what you did there Ryan. face palm


I'm not crazy!


Well...the jury is still out on that. ;-)


Wow, this is news now?


I'd call it interesting news if hackernews got hacked.


It's not news for hackers anyway.


Was this a test, or vandalization? (If this wasn't intended, I'd review my security settings about now...)
