The author indeed seems to start using the same style in 2023: https://jyn.dev/tags/ideas/


A lot of the comments here are bashing you, but I just wanted to say that I feel the same. I find it jarring and off putting.


Anyone else struggling to scroll on that page with Firefox on the iPhone? After a while the weird windows in the background at the top of the page seem to move but not the rest of content.

Must be vibe coded. Top quality stuff.


Wild - I searched my name out of curiosity and my PhD research papers turned up. Worth submitting my contact details I guess


That may depend on whether there is copyright on that work.


PSA: You can “silence unknown callers” on the iPhone, just search under settings. Maybe Android has a similar setting too, I don’t know though.

Android phones (at least some of them) have "Do Not Disturb" mode which blocks calls from numbers not in your Favorites (i.e. starred contacts)


The issue with DND is that it blocks all incoming notifications as well. That's not what I want at all times. A push notification doesn't take over my device like a phone call does, and I want to be able to get notifications from chat or email even though the sender isn't in my white list.

The whole system underlying phone calls is broken in the same way that the internet is, i.e relying on a level of trust that just isn't there. There is no argument I will accept that will persuade me that any device should be able to contact any other device at all times. There is no need for such a synchronous type of communication, now that we have had the internet for over 40 years.

The bear video is quite funny - two bear cubs merge into one and another cub appears out of the adult bear’s leg.


Yeah, I had to stare at that one for a while. I thought there were four bears (I guess there technically were).


Great job, that’s a nice simple idea that has value for lots people.


Just FYI, your landing page is pretty hard to use on mobile. As you scroll down the page the content keeps jumping around because of the typing effect at the top of the page overflowing onto two lines
