(At the same time, I'm happy if my site can help the AIs / its users, but I prefer it not significantly slow down my own usage. There should be a balanced combination)

So far the AI bots are honest on the user agent. But my low budget server is significantly slower than it should be when I'm using it as a human.

Is there a neural/positive term to describe this kind of website? (beside call it "old school" or "good old day"?)

    // version 1
    let body = document.createElement('body')
    body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML

    // version 2
    let body = document.body.cloneNode(true)

This is wired, that code should not be mutating existing DOM.

Update: Below version of sandboxed clone doesn't break the youtube popup menu.

    // version 3
    let parser = new DOMParser()
    let doc = parser.parseFromString(document.body.outerHTML, 'text/html')
    let body = doc.body

Then it seems to be in conflict with some addon I'm using.

I reported it on Twitter/X (YouTube staff responded asking for feedback), submitted feedback through YouTube's website, but it's still broken as of December 27, 2025.

My workaround: Copy video URL → Open Chrome → Save → Switch back to Firefox. Very inconvenient when Firefox is your main browser.

I finally built a userscript workaround that fixes this for me:

  - Adds a direct "Watch Later" button to the video menu via DOM injection (bypasses broken popover)
  - Saves videos to localStorage and automatically saves them when they appear in recommendation sidebars on other pages
  - Injects pending videos directly into the Watch Later playlist page DOM (shows them at the top with clear "not saved yet" indicators)

Works in Firefox with Tampermonkey or other userscript addons.

Sharing in case other Firefox users are experiencing the same issue. I hope YouTube will eventually fix this and make sure it works not just in Chrome, but until then, this script works for me.

In the workplace, we're using AI anyway.

I'm not sure if this direction is suitable for kids, like we still learn to do calculation even when we have calculator (which is needed for some cases, but for complex math, we opt for tools)

Features: - Web UI: Paste JSON, get TypeScript types instantly - CLI or importable in TypeScript projects - Handles complex types (nested objects, arrays, etc.) - Supports optional fields and union types where needed

Try the Web UI: https://gen-ts-type.surge.sh

Also published on github and npm as gen-ts-type

Feedback welcome!

And sometimes even using the exact repo name in Google search, I cannot see the corresponding (non-popular) repo.

ts-liveview is a TypeScript framework I built (grab it as a starter project on GitHub[1]) for real-time, server-rendered apps. It uses JSX/TSX to render HTML server-side and, in WebSocket mode, updates the DOM by targeting specific CSS selectors (document.querySelector) over WebSockets or HTTP/2 streaming. This keeps client-side JavaScript light, delivering fast, SEO-friendly pages and reactive UIs, much like Dan’s “JSX over the wire” vision.

What’s your take on this server-driven approach? Could it shake up how we build apps compared to heavy client-side frameworks? Curious if you’ve tried ts-liveview yet—it’s been a fun project to dig into these ideas!

E.g. for easier mode. It should only generate pattern that is "beneficial" to the current board.

I was the practise of using leading comma in Elm, where we put a comma at the beginning of each line, when writing elements of a list.

I'm also using leading comma (and leading and/or) when writing sql query.

For example:

    select
      user.id
    , user.username
    from user
    where user.ban_time is null
      and user.activate_time is not null

That is to use all rgb values exactly once to make an art work.
