#72Great work of course but damn I could not look at those all day, they look so repulsive. Same as Factorio biters :]

People obsessed with niche subjects and go all out on that are the backbone of society. My mind goes to the guy that packaged 1/3 of all Arch packages in the official repo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqMf6XFacR8&pp=ygUKZGlzdHJvd...
Which is terrifying. https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/dependency.png

#74Wonderful illustrations! Whenever I see someone that is interested in a very specific niche and obviously expends a lot of effort towards it, I'm always in awe. How did they become interested in the topic? Why choose this specific thing? How do they keep their motivation to continue with it? I've personally never really felt like I've cared enough about anything this much. Because of this, I've always felt like I'm m…

Another cool one is this guy's crazy-detailed explanation of mechanical watch mechanisms with interactive diagrams using hand-written WebGL: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/

I don't want to sound negative or discredit this contributor but having Asperger syndrome "helps". I got lost deep diving into several topics to the point where I spent almost all of my free time for a couple of years trying to understand each of them as much as possible. That can lead to very positive output. The flip side is that my mind starts going in circles repeating the same thoughts over and over again.
The internet lingo for this is "Weaponized Autism".
Nothing wrong with being neurodivergent, don't see why this would discredit the contributor.

Yes. Mandatory nerd snip warning for any of Bartosz Ciechanowski's blog posts!

This blog post prompted a deep dive into mechanical watch repair, further online courses and endless reading. I’m now an amateur watchmaker and spend my nights tinkering with and trying to restore vintage mechanical watches. I’ve never been nerd sniped this hard, but I love it. Fantastic hobby (albeit ridiculously expensive)

#79This is definitely way beyond a typical Wikipedia user page with all these medal "trophies" and it really looks great. In my grade school times, we had this really dedicated biology teacher who believed that being able to properly copy illustrations from books is the key element to understand lesson's subject. So we draw all these organisms, bacteria and viruses with pencils and colored em with either gray shades or…
That sounds like an amazing teacher. In elementary school I remember being extremely frustrated that art classes weren’t about actually learning to draw/paint, just doing silly things out of papier mâché. I went down the science/engineering route, and it’s only as an adult that I finally took the leap and signed up for proper drawing classes.
It’s been mind expanding to say the least - I thought I spent my whole life seeing, but I realized I saw nothing until I took my first sketching/figure drawing class. Drawing is seeing.

This is a feature that should be determined by the user agent rather than the server. It's the user agent that is aware of bandwidth limitations and desires of the user, after all.
Believe it or not, but websites could already implement it based on what the user-agent knows about the connection already. `navigator.connection` (returns NetworkInformation - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NetworkInfo... ) supposedly holds what the user-agent thinks the connection-type is. Although not implemented in Safari nor Firefox. Although I do think there are concerns around privacy when it…

This is absolutely the wrong way around. I don't care much for lazy loading but if you must add it then use the loading="lazy" hint and let the browser decide based on that. Don't try to be smart, e.g. navigator.connection won't tell you that I'm about to get on a plane where I won't have internet at all.
