What Hacker News says?
Yeah, and it's pretty simple. You have essentially three composition layers: original text; a gaussian-blurred zero-offset "shadow" to add glow (CSS text-shadow); and then a pattern of darker horizontal stripes on top, produced with repeating-linear-gradient with an alpha channel. The magic is basically in https://dmytroengineering.com/css/terminal-syntax.css , but there's a lot of other ways to do it.
