   Yes for now I thought it would be better to not show anything than a poor UI, and also the performance is not great on mobile right now. This is something I would like to improve for sure. Maybe a simplified version with limited UI?

   Thanks a lot for the feedbacks! I spent quite a lot of time on this yes, though I was already quite familiar with 3d rendering and astronomical computation so it wasn't that hard. In fact the most difficult part was probably to learn W

   At least for chess the article mentions that they considered the top 10 players in children and senior categories. This would indicate that prodigy chess players are millions of time more likely to become elite compared to the general popul

   I notice more and more pushes to 'improve' C and turn it into something it should not become. I feel like the C++ community gave up on C++ because of the growing complexity and so turned to C with the hope of adding to it the goo

   I often wondered if Patrick uses unnecessarily convoluted sentences, or if he is simply careful about using the proper terminology, and my English is just not good enough to follow him like a native speaker would.

    I wrote this in go and it made the front hackernews page at the time: https://plaintextco.in This was my first time using go and I found the language very handy for this kind of projects.

    Yes, since I got too many requests from HN, I had to enable the CDN. I didn't realize it would cache both html and terminal request together. I tried setting "Vary: User-Agent" but it didn't work. You can add: "?

    You are probably right. I should also probably add a link to a 'true' plain text version that returns a pure txt.

    Not at the moment, this was a week end project, and the code is quite horrible. But yes I should probably put it online and get advise.

    Actually it also supports a black and white mode using only utf8 characters. I haven't exposed it yet though.

    It's all done by hand in go. Yes it uses the user agent to guess if the request comes from a terminal.

    I think the server code has a concurrent access bug that makes it crash in the middle of a request. Unfortunately due to the current charge I can't even restart it at the moment.

    Yeah the server is not handling the load at the moment... I am trying to restart it.

    Thanks for the comment! I wanted to keep the html and css as simple as possible so I didn't put much layout. If it gets traction I will improve that. Same thing for the font. It's all hand crafted. My first time using golang s

    Interesting project, and I like the simple UI. How does the Sentiment Analysis is done? What kind of back-end have you used?
