    Yes, perception of entities during psychedelic experience is unhinged paredolia: psychedelic substances obliterate the squelch for our pattern recognition systems, of which paredol…

    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…

    You can style a link however you want, and nest a 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 de…

    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'…

    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…

    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…

    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 quali…

    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 pie…

    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…

    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…

    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 …

    Is this supposed to be the 'bridge facts' easter egg, or something else?
