Thanks for making and sharing that project. A feature request, if I may: please consider adding support for https://www.jsonfeed.org/. Thank you.

GeForce Now has Windows and various game stores as hard dependencies, which feels like in theory optimizing for the short term and limits how smooth the user experience can be made. But in practice it works fine, and the reduced overhead for individual games maybe is better at least for medium term too.
Any chance it's one of the ones you mentioned above, or another someone recognizes? I was able to find that the phrase "brain in a vat" refers to this genre as a whole, but haven't yet found the particular version that I faintly recall reading.
The Graphics/Displays page in System Information unfortunately says nothing about colors, only resolution (https://github.com/shurcooL/home/assets/1924134/af4b19a3-b85...).
When looking at a 16-bit PNG of a white to black gradient, I'm not able to visually spot any banding even when zooming in. It's fairly easy to spot steps when looking at a 8-bit PNG version of the same gradient. But the same happens on the built-in display despite it supposedly having only 8-bit color ("support for millions of colors").
I think it was sometime between 10 and 20 years ago, I was curious to see what a clock that shows fractional time in years would look like: https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/projects/shuryear-clock/. I found looking at it occasionally reminds how even a year worth of time can pass fairly quickly.
Always-On display goes dark when you don't need it
To save battery life, the display is completely dark when:
• Your iPhone is lying face down
• Your iPhone is in your pocket or bag
• [...]
• You haven't used your iPhone for a while
(your iPhone learns your activity patterns
and turns the display off and on accordingly,
including if you set up an alarm or sleep schedule)
What makes it frustrating more than anything is the feature's name: "Always-On display." If not for that, I think its actual best-effort behavior is fairly reasonable.
"The Art Critic": posted a screenshot of a diff containing a suggested code change instead of sending a PR
I've actually done something like this exactly once when I was much newer to GitHub and git (and probably wanted to save some of my time).
If only I directed more of my writing activity to blog posts, not just commit messages¹ and issues².

It also hosts a small set of personal Go packages. For this, it implements a git server, module proxy protocol, issue tracker and change tracker. At some point, I want to differentiate the code review UI with nice-to-haves specific to Go, but haven’t gotten there yet.
I’m playing around with compiling the whole thing (written in Go, of course) to WebAssembly that runs client-side, along with server-side rendering for the initial page load. This is mostly to make iteration easier and faster for me.
It also lets people leave comments or reactions to blog posts and such by signing in via a URL rather than username+password.
As someone who enjoys and prefers high-density of information, I generally agree.
I do, however, wish HN would add support for @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark). By now it's one of the few sites that are still unpleasantly bright to look at when in a dark environment. (When I don't forget, I visit https://darkhn.herokuapp.com/ instead, which helps but can't be used to upvote/comment.)
This is actually one of the two supported streaming modes, see https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9825342?hl=en.
The pagination point is described well in nearby comments. It only applies when attempting to paginate across more than 1 dimension at once, like "get all pages of comments in an issue, and all pages of reactions for each comment".
