News story with video of the dragon moving: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=C_RS5alv6QA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=C_RS5alv6QA</a><p>Looks like this isn&#x27;t the first time it&#x27;s happened, back in 2014 there was another based on Toothless from <i>How to Train Your Dragon:</i> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yHfJ1gby8_Y" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yHfJ1gby8_Y</a>

That&#x27;s really cool. A year and a half of effort from different people with different skills. The video from a another comment (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=27097418" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=27097418</a>) does a better job of showing how well done this is.<p>Off-topic: That&#x27;s perhaps the most annoying paywall I&#x27;ve encountered yet. It first pretends to give you the whole article, then revokes it when you reject the page&#x27;s attempt to sign you up for notifications. Then there&#x27;s a separate count-down timer to trigger it too.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;yCN1m" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;yCN1m</a>

Some more information from the designers here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.arrow.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;fiveyearsout&#x2F;stories&#x2F;belles-dragon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.arrow.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;fiveyearsout&#x2F;stories&#x2F;belles-dragon</a>

What are the challenges in making a website that only scrolls vertically? The content fits nicely in the viewpoint but it really wants to scroll horizontally on my phone.<p>(Not a front end dev, genuinely curious)

I’ve been noticing that 99% of the time when an article mentions the age of an individual, it’s usually a clickbait bullshit appeal to emotion&#x2F;cocktail of other logical fallacies waiting to be gobbled up by unquestioning ninnies.

Reminds me of a faerie dragon from homm3, I am jealous of this 14 year old, especially because a long term personal dream of mine is flying to downtown fort worth on a mechanical ornithopter dragon.
