If you have fond memories of Clonk give this a quick try: http://webclonk.flgr.me/ (WASD + Mouse)
Sadly I never got around to implementing more of it though.

Hm, unless I miscalculated the bit rate they use for the Simpsons demo is about equivalent to YouTube's 240p rendition (which uses 257 kbps; they use 250 kbps).
Looking at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nmZq1KEHk at 240p I think their Simpsons rendition looks better. But that's probably because of the low resolution. Makes me wonder how well H264 would perform with the same bit rate but a higher resolution.
I think it'd be best to have a 1 to 1 comparison between the two right on the vectorly site. I'm thinking that they'd have done that if they believed they were already ready to outperform, but that's a bit of speculation.

Having spent a lot of time working on making the backend compute this with very low latency, you wouldn't believe how happy finally seeing this become a reality on the actual site would make me. :)
Thank you /a lot/ for working on this!

Looks like the underlying logic came from this blog series, which made me originally buy that particular device: https://hackaday.io/project/5301-reverse-engineering-a-low-c... :)

There's also software to read the measurements it makesover USB, but I haven't personally used that: https://github.com/huhamhire/co2-monitor-exporter

This one has worked really well for me and friends who are also using it: https://www.amazon.de/TFA-Dostmann-AirCO2ntrol-CO2-Monitor-K...

Notably, they previously had issues were "View as" allowed you to view notifications and messages of the user you were viewing as.
If they'd done a proper post mortem and corrected the fundamental issue, and made sure it wouldn't have re-occured, this should not have happened.

I'm impressed by how well http://webclonk.flgr.me/ runs in Firefox on my 5 years old MBP, even when zooming out quite a lot.
This used to run much much better in Chrome than in Firefox. Mozilla must have done a ton of optimization to their JavaScript engine.

There's some context missing here. AFAIK the author of the repositories was specifically doing micro-benchmarks here to inform the design of his https://github.com/cornelk/hashmap library. I think for that use case (designing a high-performance lock-free data structure), that kind of micro-benchmarking makes a lot of sense.
That hash map looks good and I'm thinking we'd probably benefit from using it on the hot path of some code we have that needs to be highly scalable.
(Both links were submitted to HN, but only this one seems to have landed on the front page.)

Or phrased differently: There are different kinds of art. You might not like each and every single type of art, but they're still part of art.

There are different categories for speedruns. This is any%.
There's usually a "no major glitches" category, which shows more of the main game. In SMW this is called either 96 exits or 11 exits. Those are actually the default categories that are most heavily run from what it looks like.

I think that's not any more fair than a direct charge. Or am I missing something?
From what I've heard well off families in Beijing will then just have multiple cars, one with an odd license plate and one with an even one.

Another use case I had was embedding this into a graph heavy MediaWiki with convenient markup. That means the graphs are very easy to edit and will be updated after each edit with no backend magic required.
You can say what you want about megaholding corporate conglomerates, but this has so much more style than abc.xyz.
