Reminder to right-click, click "Get Clean Link", then open a new tab and paste to avoid jwz's anti-HN referral tracker.

He refers to byte magazine's article on bitblt: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-08/page/n185/...

Also XScreensaver's Blitspin hack: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1981-08/page/n201/...

Didn't you read the page? "A venture capital company's fan club. Finance-obsessed man-children making the world worse." A previous version said, "A DDoS made of finance-obsessed man-children and brogrammers."
