A 1.5GB String - Hackdot

Did they buy this domain just for this blog posting about backslashes? No, the first HN submission is from 2017. Coincidence or an agenda?

Maybe the story is not that recent? I will bet on a coincidence though, pretty interesting nonetheless

The story is about backslashes. The domain is backslasher.net. Seems like a fun coincidence to mention.

That’s quite the origin story for a username!

Coincidence :) I know him in real life and he has used that nickname for a decade+.

Ha, this is a nice coincidence. I was looking for a cool domain name a billion years ago and came up with Backslasher since I was just learning text processing in Bash/Perl. My lifelong goal is beating the same-named horror film in search results.
