We live in a world where people think
So what are you going to do about it? Ignore the stupid just have fun!
This week, my friend @poef mentioned the old joke that, in HTML colors, Chuck Norris is red.
And not in a #bada55 way but actual red. To be precise:#C00000.
Or in a more modern format: rgb(192, 0, 0).
Any search engine will give you some hits as to why, so I’m not going into that here.
What I will do, is tell you that this trick (obviously) works for other names as well.
For instance, “CodeWithHarry” spells rgb(192, 0, 10), which is only slightly more blue than Chuck Norris.
I won’t go into the relevance of “CodeWithHarry” here either, but I’m sure you can find some information online yourself.
So “What does my name spell” I hear you ask? Well…
“Potherca” becomes a rich dark bluergb(0, 14, 202)
and “Ben Peachey” becomes rgb(190, 234, 224), which is a grayish-cyan.
Obviously, “Ben Peachey” is not actually your name… So what color does your name translate to?
My challenge to you: Find out and share your result with us!
How? Well… to stay in the HacktoberFest spirit: Open an MR!
Below this text is an HTML table. Want to know what color your name will be? Simply clone this repo, an add your name to the table and see! You are welcome to open an MR to share your findings with the rest of the world, but fair warning:
Only MRs that add both name and color in alphabetical order in the list will be honored.
So what do he rules for HacktoberFest say about all of this?
We discourage [..] Something that’s clearly an attempt to simply +1 your pull request count for October.
Regarding repositories they say:
Bad repositories will be excluded [..] repositories that encourage participants to make simple pull requests – such as adding their name to a file [..] goes against one of our core values for Hacktoberfest.
We’ve implemented a system to block these repositories, and any pull requests submitted to such repositories will not be counted.
So will you MR count towards you gaining you that free #hacktoberfest T-shirt?
I guess there is only one way to find out… 😏
