84–24

With enough of these submission titles lacking any kind of useful description, HN is just going to be a random click-lottery.<p>No one seems to care though and it&#x27;s becoming increasingly frequent, maybe I&#x27;m in the wrong place.

If you&#x27;re curious about how the page was put together, or peeved it didn&#x27;t load on your phone, check out this article describing how the author made it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tympanus.net&#x2F;codrops&#x2F;2024&#x2F;04&#x2F;08&#x2F;case-study-84-24&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tympanus.net&#x2F;codrops&#x2F;2024&#x2F;04&#x2F;08&#x2F;case-study-84-24&#x2F;</a>

Very mean webpage, you are forbidden from reading the article if you use side-by-side browser windows on 1920x1080.<p>On another note, the Mac having only 128K of RAM was somewhat balanced out by having much of the operating system code (QuickDraw, etc) live in ROM instead.

Cool page. There is quite a bit of aliasing on the wireframe. Three.js simply uses the anti-aliasing setting from the getContext call for webgl. The default here will be 4 samples [1].<p>I think it would have been best to do a custom super sampling for the wireframe model.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;source.chromium.org&#x2F;chromium&#x2F;chromium&#x2F;src&#x2F;+&#x2F;main:third_party&#x2F;blink&#x2F;renderer&#x2F;platform&#x2F;graphics&#x2F;gpu&#x2F;drawing_buffer.cc;drc=8ba75c5778d532e95412bdb600385bfd4b15293b;bpv=1;bpt=1;l=938" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;source.chromium.org&#x2F;chromium&#x2F;chromium&#x2F;src&#x2F;+&#x2F;main:thi...</a>

This was pretty fascinating. I actually still have my 128K Mac, as well as an Apple sweatshirt, that my dad bought for me in 1985. I lugged that sucker around university. Last I looked (about 8 years ago) it had some kind of boot error, not sure if it&#x27;s the same one as Giogi&#x27;s. Now I&#x27;m tempted to unearth it and revisit.

Loaded this in a 9:16 aspect ratio window and got a blank page showing &#x27;55&#x27; in the centre. Which is not the result of 84-24.

A design so cool and principled nobody talks or cares about the content.

I have read through the whole site except the color restoration section. Unfortunately, I am still missing the meaning of this “84-24”. Anyone care to eli5 please?

$Deity, bless browser reader modes. They make our life less miserable. Amen.<p>Also, it seems that we have to say goodbye to some basic browser features, like &quot;Print&quot;. Nobody cares about the printing stylesheet anymore.

The page shows up completely broken on an iPad. It&#x27;s partly clipped, doesn&#x27;t scroll, etc.

Nice. He didn&#x27;t say which vintage electronics store in Tucson, but there is a good chance it&#x27;s Elliott Electronics... an electronics store with big surplus (tools&#x2F;aviation&#x2F;machinery&#x2F;everythingelse) store under the same roof.

Deliberately wasting your time on mobile, taking 10 seconds before telling you to view on desktop. Doesn&#x27;t even respect desktop mode. Hard down vote. Very unpleasant experience.

Right now, someone else has that number.

I hate when elitist jerks decide my greater than 1080p phone display is somehow inadequate for showing their grand artistic vision and I&#x27;m not allowed to look at their photos of an old Mac unless I do so exactly the way they want me to.

lol 36 and midlife crisis.

Waiting for like 8 seconds for a website to load, only for it to tell me it’s “old school” and can’t handle my phone was kind of hilarious.

The website is soo cool!!!!
