Super fun! Obviously I wouldn’t do this on purpose because it defeats the object of the game but if you watch this on an iPhone, you can pull down the Notification Centre and it’ll show you the title of the video you’re watching as part of the media controls. The title has the year in it.

This is adorable.

Great game! I got a 95 point landing after a good few goes then I saw all the fun people were having with the crashes so I joined in. Great job!

This is a very well written article, and thank you for the advice. Lots that resonates here.

If they don't exist, this is a good idea for anybody looking for a project to write a programming book

Oof yes, this is exactly the kind of beef I would like to see on VHN.

This is excellent.

Was anybody else also hoping for a Victorian HN Front Page with list of parody HN links which one might've expected to see in the 1880s or something?

- New Developments Greatly Increase Steam Engine Efficiency

- Show VHN: I have developed plans for a machine that will travel through time

- Nikola Tesla on Direct Current

- Ask VHN: Is the Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable down?

Any other ideas?

The author lost me when they took a train from Moorgate to Barbican. Clearly doesn’t count as walking underground!

Predictable angry comment about the stupidly large ad on this site for eToro: apparently my thumbs are too fat to close it, when do I get my complimentary dialling wand?

So fat in fact that it opens the ad no matter what I do, only to be told that eToro is not even available in my country.

So not only do I see a massive ad that makes the article hard to read, I can’t even close it, and it’s for a product I can’t buy.

I hate this, and everybody involved in implementing it should be ashamed of themselves.
