One of the perks of technology that move very fast is that everyone is out of touch weekly due to frequent updates and major changes. So you can look at the state of things and you will not be that far behind the main group.
Some researchers say Victorian era people were more intelligent than people in our present time, and after reading the Victorian guidelines, maybe they're right.

These are not dissimilar in style from the "100 Years Ago" sidebar in Scientific American in a past now further receding, when I made a regular practice of reading that once-estimable journal.
This is fabulous. >If you have the temerity to submit a video or pdf, I should be grateful if you would mark it as such, so as not to cause the undoing of my fragile sensibilities. The temerity , the absolute temerity of assaulting my fragile sensibilities with a pdf or video! I will not countenance it. I say good day to you, sir.
I say old man, I too should jolly well appreciate a fair warning about bandwidth-hungry formats. Too often these days do the rakes and scoundrels of this establishment assault both the senses and the available kilo-cycles of bandwidth with such extravagant formats that are quite unnecessary to communicate one's point. If 5-bit telegraph coding is enough for Her Britannic Majesty it is certainly good enough for her loyal subjects on VHN!

I'd expect track gauges might be something VHNers could disagree over.
Barring isolated systems (mines, logging) all track should be two meter gauge (78-3/4"). Although the measuring system of our neighbors across the Channel is not widely esteemed here, what we choose here in Britain will of course be widely copied throughout the World. Such a gauge would provide for the future, "future-proof", the Global system of track, allowing wider loads, greater stability for passengers, etc., it being readily apparent that rail is the future of all long distance travel.
I’ll piggyback on this to show something I made: autosummarized HN. https://danieljanus.pl/autosummarized-hn/ I originally intended to run it for a month only, but when OpenAI slashed prices at the beginning of September, I figured another month won’t hurt.
Great idea! Though in several instances it essentially repeats the submission title (which isn't too bad, but maybe you can instruct it to extend from the title?). I laughed at this one, you might want to take a look at it: > The article is about how to enable JavaScript in order to use twitter.com
