Got it as well a couple years ago, it was no joke. :/

Luckily we could get vaccinated a year later. If you’ve had it and catch another variant mortality rate jumps to 10%. But usually those variants don’t overlap, it’s region based.

“That number matters more than it looks.”, then the next paragraph starts with “Here is the uncomfortable part”, and then I closed the tab.

Maybe possible with https://lyra.horse/x86css/ ?

Not possible, but it would be possible to reimplement Quake's logic and controls in CSS to have it run without JS. I was considering doing that for my next CSS crime project, though now that CSSQuake has hit the hn frontpage there is little point in doing so.

I’m still working on filepond v5. A JavaScript file upload library that supports client side image manipulation, chunked uploading, various file sources, and is procedurally animated.

Imagine if all that money was donated to open source instead.

Yeah, LLMs would have more stuff to steal. A win-win situation.

I looked at the screenshot and for the rest of the article wondered if it would be as simple as `overflow-x: hidden`.

And to my surprise it was.

This would’ve take a frontend dev 10 seconds to deduce and another 10 seconds to confirm.

The thing that puzzles me is that I would expect overflow-x: hidden to result in text typed into that textarea being wider than the page and being invisibly truncated on the right hand side.

But that's not what happens. And in fact, when you start typing in the textarea the horizontal scrollbar vanishes - it's only there when the textarea is empty.

Am I misunderstanding anything here? Seems like it's some weird Safari bug, since Firefox and Chrome don't have the problem.

It probably has to do with other styles assigned to the textarea, maybe the ::placeholder as it hides when typing (I assume on focus)

In any case. In the screenshot the scrollbar is inside the textarea as it aligns with the resize control on its right. This is basically all the info needed to deduce the textarea overflow is the culprit.

But could be that the overflow-x is just a bandaid hiding the issue causing the overflow in the first place, like crazy styles on the placeholder.

A similar dilemma presents itself when blocking AI spiders.

You’re free to block them, but the websites cloning your content won’t. So either way they’ll get the content they’re after.

Worse, when/if the time comes that LLMs source their claims they’ll refer you to the websites that cloned your content.

+1 from me. I always find it very challenging to speak to strangers, but not at the Boulder gym. There's just so many opportunities to start a natural conversation:

- new climbers asks you for advise

- you can ask a new climber if they'd like some technique tips

- you finally top your project and someone commends you for it

- someone tops your project and you ask them for advise

- you're trying to top a boulder on a new set and are solving it with others

- you're _constantly_ in the gym so staff starts talking to you

I love when I'm climbing alone and working on something really hard for me and some random people just start cheering as I get near the top. :)

Man, I've been bouldering now at my gym for maybe 18 months and I can count on one hand the number of times I've spoken to someone.

A lot of people on their own have earbuds in too,and clearly don't want to be spoken to.

I had one time where I asked someone for some help, he then went and did the route and shrugged and said it's easy in a really condescending manner.

Nice, enjoyable.

I did however expect the stars to attract my ship, that combined with the top down gravity vector made it less intuitive.

It also makes it feel like a game happening in earths atmosphere instead of space, it impacts the possible sense of scale.

Still fun :)

I asked the Gumroad support AI for a human.

It forwarded my request which was then answered by an open claw agent :/

Still waiting for a response two weeks later.

The Gumroad CEO infamously fired and rehired everyone as contractors, and worked for DOGE last year until his delusions were shattered. It seems that your experience doesn't come from nowhere.
