This went into quite a bit more detail than just how the mosaic was animated. That was a nice surprise, a thoughtful summary of several things that went into the project.
That would be a great screensaver. Also, one that's only NSFW would be cool.
A very quick, pleasing read. And it's got a nice aesthetic.
Related to this post, does anyone know why this post says "3 hours ago" but upon hovering on the timestamp, it has an older date? The title attribute is set to:
title="2025-09-16T03:32:43 1757993563"
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43162211 and the links back from there and let us know if you still have a question.

I feel like the "title" attribute should be updated to the new timestamp in such cases. The tooltip plus I believe assistive technology relies on the title attribute and it can be confusing.
I'm not sure if that would make things better or worse. We want people to have access to the original timestamp as well.
Why not just make the title attribute have both timestamps in those cases? That attribute allows newline characters.
