Just pinch the screen a bit and it’ll zoom out to fit the text. Clearly the site wasn’t designed with mobile in mind but there’s no need to make a big deal out of it and say it isn’t readable. I just read the whole thing on my five-year-old phone.


I'd hardly call notifying the op who may not even be aware "making a big deal"...


When I do that the text is unreadably tiny.


It's unreadable for me at the scale where the entire width of text fits. Proper responsive design is an accessibility feature. It is a big deal.


It does nothing to stop accessibility at least. Doesn't prevent zoom nor break 'reader mode'. I much prefer when sites don't try at all to get mobile working and letting reader mode work than when they do something that breaks it. In reader mode I can customize the colors/fonts to make it readable for me and not be at the mercy of the designer.

I'm on Android, but I suspect iOS has something similar.


The page is readable using reader mode in Safari on iOS.


Since the video game developers of that era certainly had access to reference CRTs while building games, you’re experiencing something closer to how it was originally intended to be seen.


They were designing the games for people with normal CRTs. So no, that's not how it was "intended to be seen".


I work from home and all of my driving outside of road trips probably averages out to about 40 miles a week. Considering that I paid $15k for my ICE car, something like this would be super attractive.

Heck, it would be even more attractive if I was commuting ~5 miles a day, which is farther than I’ll ever be willing to commute.


I was excited by Hathora and sat down to integrate it into a project I’m working on, only to find that it only supports Websockets.

Given the inherent latency of using TCP-based messaging, it feels odd to advertise this as being good for real time games.

I see that UDP is on the roadmap, so that’s good. Will you support WebRTC for building low latency real time gaming experiences on the web?


Hathora actually supports raw TCP connections in addition to Websockets, and we're very close to shipping raw UDP support as well!

For the web, we're deciding between using WebRTC or leapfrogging straight to WebTransport[0]. Either solution would be a thin layer on top of the raw UDP work

We need websockets over UDP. Websockets over TCP obsoleted TCP for me. Websockets over UDP would obsolete UDP for me.


I have the revised K3 and the keycaps don’t have any quality issues. You should be good to reorder.


Thanks! I actually did like the keyboard, but the keycaps were unbearable bad and I went back to my Magic Keyboard (which I don't mind at all, really; I just know I can do better and would like to explore a bit)


This is absolutely not true.

I worked with a guy who used a DSLR as a webcam and his picture was totally remarkable over Google Meet and Zoom. The very first thing I did was send a screenshot of the meeting's tile view to a friend, asking if he noticed anything funny about one of the videos, and he easily spotted the one I was talking about.

Every time we had a new team member join the calls, they would immediately comment on this guy's ridiculously nice picture quality and ask him what kind of camera he had.


^ this, I use a Sony RX100V with a first gen Blue Yeti and 1) They consistently connect and work better than what my Windows-using coworkers experience with hardware built into their monitors (and I regularly use Slack, Zoom, and Google Meets every day and it works seamlessly across them all) 2) As you mention every single person every single time comments when they initially see it. Like 100% of the time without fail.

IMO as an expensive consultant™ I think it improves perception and is courteous to my clients to give them a higher level of production value.


If they could export mahogany, then they’d be cutting the rainforest down to export mahogany. What is your point?


There is a chance they might replant them so that they could harvest it again in 30-50 years while a switch to farmland is pretty permanent.


The word "electronic" neither appears in the title or body of the article, nor in the HN post title.


I might actually be tempted use voice assistant/command software if I could communicate with it silently through a discreet sticker or necklace.


People from the 1980s are still alive and they’re not making anything more impressive than anyone else.

These people weren’t magicians only held back by a lack of computer power, they were (again, “are”) regular people trying to maximize their output given their resources.

Let’s say you go back and hand a powerful computer to them. What would Mac Paint look like? I’m sure it would have colors (assuming you also have them a monitor), probably a lot more of those goofy and useless textured fills nobody wants, layers, probably some filters, higher resolutions, and probably simple brush strokes. But do you really think they would manage to implement any of the seriously impressive features that modern Photoshop has? Content aware fill? AI upscaling? Of course not. It would probably take them a long time to get smart selection working in a halfway decent manner.
