Having read this comment from today detailing variance in the default Windows 95 background ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49329282 ), I'm imagining Olo would be your wallpaper if "257 colors" could be

Most webpages that function as simple documents can be built without JS. If you build webpages, you probably have an intuition for what kind of functionality necessitates JS. When a webpage requires that users enable JS, then, when it doesn

Upon inspecting with developer tools, I was pleased to find that <marquee> supports GPU acceleration. I vaguely recall reading lore of someone refactoring it up to modern standards in chromium a few years back.

Yes, perception of entities during psychedelic experience is unhinged paredolia: psychedelic substances obliterate the squelch for our pattern recognition systems, of which paredolia is one. Deepdream slugdogs are sort of a synthetic analog

The page would benefit from image-rendering: pixelated; in the CSS which would probably(?) prevent the headache-inducing effect, which I'm guessing comes from the hard edges of the background image tiling contrasted with the bil

You can style a link however you want, and nest a <span> inside it if necessary. EDIT: CSS also has appearance: button;

Awesome. Such clean abstractions are inspiring and make me wanna do something with canvas. I also like that the homepage animations are done with CSS. Here for additional modern demoscene-style websites if anyone knows of any.

This method should still support GPU acceleration, as `transform` (or rotate/scale/etc.) is the only property being animated. The benefit of animation-timeline seems to be that it's much easier to set up than a CSS perspectiv

You can have a dynamic camera with 3D CSS only and no JS. The trick is move the scene instead of the "camera". CSS Doom uses this technique (although unlike the project I'm working on, it relies heavily on JS for the interact

My read on HN comment sorting is that just like its frontpage, everyone sees the same comment page. New comments are added to the top, and quickly sink below others unless they are engaged with. This is just a guess tho, as my account can&#

Could you clarify what you mean by saying it may be both unaffordable and surprisingly cheap? (Expensive but less than expensive than it could be? Expensive but of poor build quality?) Also why would you want/need someone else to purch

The main difference is tweakability: With classical generative and algorithmic composition, the human can change parameters in real time and more closely guide the shape of the piece.

Design is delightful, great job. The radial glyph wave animation is also really cool, but the novelty will wear off and the delay will become grating especially if one is using the app in a utilitarian manner. Consider skipping transitions&

Taking shortcuts with design tends to result in users trusting your project less.

How about the most depraved volume control design of all: the actual reddit web video player (at least the embedded player on old.reddit)? The slider is hidden by default. Hovering the volume icon makes the slider appear. There is margin be

Well, sure: a pre-unlocked bootloader and an offline-unlockable one are not fundamentally different in terms of freedom. When the user decision to unlock (or "side"-load, for that matter) is required to be authorized by the vendor

Whether it's essential or not is up to the user, who should be able to load whatever operating system they want (enabling them to bypass the restriction) on their bootloader-unlockable device.

Love Josh's work and usually always learn something new from his tutorials. However, this time, I was really hoping the example implementations would use CSS transforms instead of properties that require repaints, especially since the

Your quote caused me to consider vibecoding through the analogy of an LLM-human system as a subtractive synthesizer: the LLM is the oscillator, and the human is the filter.

Isn't master ("ruler, teacher, etc.") upstream of master ("definitive version"), though, etomologically-speaking? I do see what you're saying, though, and will admit to some cheekiness on my end.

Been using 'sensei' as my default branch name for a couple years now. I get to feel like a ninja when I commit, the conceptual meaning is close to that of the previous term, and there's no historical baggage related to the US
