Show HN: A hand-picked selection of the worst computer puns on the Internet

I like the puns and the visual style a lot but the randomisation sucks balls: I've seen the one about the spider and his website three times in a row, plus multiple repeats of many others. Can you implement a proper deck of cards style shuffle for them to avoid repeats?

I hope you can C that there aren't enough puns, so get with the program. You need beta testing than this, and then come back. If I were your boss I would not give you arrays.

there are only 14 jokes on it [https://github.com/AlexLakatos/computer-puns/blob/master/pun...]

and the font and background change between them does not goes very smooth.

I'd add a 'next' button that cycles through them (in addition to a random starting point or button). Now I have to read them over and over just to see if there might be a new one.

Robin Hanson's The Elephant in the Brain asserts that there was once an imperial Chinese court that banned punning with the penalty of death. I haven't found another reference for that. But reading puns.dev makes it somehow more plausible.

    {{ pun.pun }}
    {{ pun.punchline }}

That pretty much sums it up.

I have nothing useful to add here, other than this brought a smile to my face at the end of a long day. That's what I love about HN -- tons of serious posts, and then gems like this.

PS: "None. It's a hardware problem." said no programmer ever :)

The classic UNIX "fortune" program has rather a lot more jokes, although oddly doesn't seem to be hosted at a single canonical place on the internet.

Here's one for programming puns: http://www.codepuns.com

It looks too big on mobile. It doesn't fit the screen...

I wish this was not random.

I've been writing shitty puns since years. You might know me from my greatest hits such as:
