I think Salvatore mis-remembered. The comment was by @jacques_chester (he made a joke about it below, but people didn't get it). The comment is in this thread (HN doesn't let me link directly): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8708921 . Look for Jacque's comment in there, and Salvatore replied to it.

I also wanted to find the original, and used Jacque's remark below as a starting point to start hunting for it.
