Averaveon Z80 Sans – a disassembler in a font (2024)

You can do a lot of crazy things with fonts. Just off the top of my head:

Tetris Font - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40737294

A font which is also an LLM - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40766791

And in the same vein:

Doom in a PDF - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42678754

Averaveon Ask HN: Is the header CSS broken for you?

I compared an archived copy of the comments page to the version today and noticed the HTML changed:

Old:

  <tr>[...header...]</tr>
  <tr id="pagespace" title="Y Combinator" style="height:10px"></tr>
  <tr>[...comments...]</tr>

New:

  <tr>[...header...]</tr>
  <tr><td style="height:10px"></td></tr>
  <tr>[...comments...]</tr>

If you use Inspect Element to revert the change, it'll look as expected. You can test by resizing the browser window to mobile size, or by using your browser's mobile simulator.

For some reason, this new method of adding space only works on desktop, while the old one worked on mobile as well.

Averaveon Bulma CSS Framework

I've seen other open source projects with tons of gambling sponsors, it's not just Bulma. My guess is that it's a relatively cheap way to get links for SEO.

Averaveon Introducing Our New Name

Reminds me of the Minecraft server software "MiNET" and the issue that followed: https://github.com/NiclasOlofsson/MiNET/issues/446

Averaveon Ask HN: Did Wikipedia change its font?

I checked archive.org and I can see the font did change for mobile. I don't notice any change for desktop though.

Old: https://web.archive.org/web/20240110075605/https://en.m.wiki...

New: https://web.archive.org/web/20240216085224/https://en.m.wiki...

Glad I'm not the only one who had to run to HN to double check, I'm not too far gone yet :P
