Repdigit:

a number that consists of the same digit repeated one or more times.
In honor of item 666666 yesterday, and day 333 of holding on to my cowboy hat, here I present the SN items with repdigits between 11 - 333.
These happen to take place over a span of 33 days! 1
Enjoy this look back at the early days of Stacker News.

#11

@banana: "(Stacker News) should have notifications"
Thus, so came the red square, and it was good...and addicting. Has it always been a red square?

#22

@sha256: Today, that 90% was reached, and the deployment will transition inevitably into locked-in state at the end of this retargetting window. Activation will follow automatically, at block 709632 in November 2021. After that, the rules will be enforced on mainnet, and available for use
Taproot support reaches 90%.

#33

@k00b: Feature request: It was suggested in LND developer slack to use a lightning based login. I definitely wanted to do something like this but wasn't aware of any prior art, but it looks like there is: (fixed dead link)
@k00b considers adding login with lightning.

#44

@k00b: "How did it go?"
@guacjoin was testing something, and received top comment two days in a row. What were they testing? The world may never know.

#55

@k00b dancing alone in the beginning.

#66

@sha256: Plebfi Austin
Best meetup info page I've ever seen: https://pleb.fi/austin/

#77

Can't find much about this in recent news, besides the old crone Warren yelling about bitcoin and terrorism.

#88

From the article:
We are going to create, digitally sign, and broadcast a Bitcoin transaction in pure Python, from scratch, and with zero dependencies. In the process we’re going to learn quite a bit about how Bitcoin represents value. Let’s get it.

@k00b: Romanian man believed to hold 100k Bitcoin dies tragically
Mircea Popescu dies by drowning? Here's an archive version of his lovers post online about the incident. Siggy wrote a great article about his life as well: #204836

#111

@roy: Not sure that's the best example. Take a look at https://lightning.gifts/ for a better UX.
More LN-URL suggestions. Here's an archived version of the site.

#222

@k00b: "Same! The goal is a more casual place to have conversations around bitcoin than say the dev mailing list but create a hurdle high enough to filter out low quality input you'd find on either Twitter or Reddit. Those places aren't always bad places for discussion but the mean is pretty bad."
@k00b's vision for Stacker News.

#333

@sha256: From the Twitter announcement: Students will learn how to build Bitcoin applications from the ground up using the Rust programming language.
Fodé Diop launches a bitcoin academy. Seems like he's now shifted focus to SOL. https://m.stacker.news/49178
That's all for now, plenty more to go!

Fun post.

This is fantastic! What a fun exploration.
I wonder if we could get custom filters at some point that would allow formulaic exploration of the SN timeline. I'm imagining "Prime Items" and "Fibonacci Items". The options are literally endless.

Thanks!
Ooo yeah, maybe something like an SN Item Explorer.
