same problem here

The author states "Virality is rare and nearly impossible to predict" and yet one of his products aims to automate the creation of "viral LinkedIn posts"! Much irony.

How did I forget textual, thank you! It might be a good solution as I can imagine Claude Sonnet vibe coding interesting UIs with it...

Am also investigating xterm.js currently.

Anything that uses too much CSS (eg tries to 'construct' layouts with it rather than just rending text) seems a little fragile.

CSS is absolutely the right tool for constructing layouts because it allows you to make your components with a class (like "commandLine") and then control exactly how that input box lays out on the screen, not only its font and color but also height, scrolling, expanding or not with the window and content, and everything else that affects the look.

Ideally, JS is only for computation, HTML only for making content containers, and all layout and appearance is in CSS.

Attributing behaviors through names is not unique to css and it’s not particularly the right tool. It’s the only tool you have in browser, yes. But let it invent ways to avoid things like negative margins, harmfully cascading layout rules, etc, before calling it “right”.

And gp is absolutely correct about it being fragile, cause it’s fragile as hell.

First rule of writing definitions: use everyday English.

True! Meant heuristic

"It felt like being in a busy pub where I could chat to loads of different people"

This is one of the best descriptions of how social media feels (when it's at its best, anyway) that I've seen

Perhaps RSS makes a comeback in some shape or form, as a way for LLMs/agents to fetch the latest content from sites?

RSS still exists, it's just hidden. Like you can just add any Youtube channel page to an RSS reader and get a feed for it - instead of visiting youtube's algorithm-generated front page.

I just a month ago started moving all my feeds to a self-hosted FreshRSS installation. It lets me create feeds from pages without RSS using XPath[0] or CSS selectors to pick the elements.

I also did a handful of Go applications that generate and/or modify existing feeds to be actually usable instead of just the title. I run those from cron daily and add the generated feeds to FreshRSS

And with FreshRSS I can filter out the "XXX (YC xx) is hiring" posts from HN feeds automatically :)

There’s definitely something to be said for “hardly any CSS” websites that are brutally functional.

For example was looking at http://www.steephill.tv/ yesterday for cycling news (recently shut down sadly)

Yes, but only if we exclude those like the one you linked that require horizontal scrolling because of their <table>-based layout.

Are there any safety considerations with regards to having the power supply and other innards exposed?

The ATX PSU (labeled CX650F here) converts wall power to a maximum of 12v DC. It's metal case is earthed so short of sticking pointy metal bits though the fan grills it is safe to touch.

The rest of the system only sees the 12v DC or less which remains completely safe to touch. The PSU can not (and will not due to fuses) supply enough current to risk fire (like a 12v car battery).

Having the PSU case exposed is electrically identical to having a pc case exposed. Having it opened on the other hand is a danger. PSU capacitors are known to be large enough to kill.

Remember it's a French word, not something that rhymes with "itch" ;)

I like the sound of a P2P distributed code collaboration platform...
