There's already other libraries out there like Fullstory, which tracks all the user mouse movements and interactions with the page and allows you to watch a user interact with your…

Agreed. The article also didn't really talk about what it was actually like after 30 years of pursuing his dream and failing. They just told a story without much detail. Seems like…

Thanks to this comment I just spent the last hour exploring Moscow, Tokyo, Kyoto, and the Dominican Republic. I feel like I've always taken street view for granted. But it is a tru…

Just a heads up, your Simon Says project on your personal page doesn't seem to work properly (Chrome on Windows). Every time I click start, and then try to follow it, it just reset…

The reverse of this, however, has impacted our hiring process in the past. We never really looked for things from someone's portfolio or personal website as a way to judge their sk…

The Moz://a logo is... terrible IMO. It's not even really a "logo", it just seems like they were trying to be edgy and it didn't work.

I'd never seen that one before. It looks like GitLab made a minimalist version of MetaMask's logo, and then Firefox made a "modern" version of that. Obviously that's not what happe…

I actually really like the "masterband" fox icon they have, but as you pointed out, it's almost exactly the GitLab logo. Granted, I like the Mozilla version better here. I think th…

I want to live my life like this.

Not really a solution, but a problem that I have (which this thread has actually given me several new ideas to try fixing) isn't so much organizing or tracking my goals, it's that …

I actually switched to this a couple months ago, mainly because I was using other habit-tracking apps that only allows a certain number of habits available for free. I didn't even …

I also really enjoyed this book, despite being born in 89. But, at the same time, it felt like the book was just him writing out lists of references, and just saying what was happe…

How could I forget "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. Another amazing author, great book. I also realize none of these are really HN-related content. I just assumed you were looking …

"A Short History of Nearly Everything" is an amazing book. Bill Bryson is one of my favorite authors, and even though the book can get a little slow at times (for me, at least) in …

"The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe (RIP). One of my all time favorite book, one of my all time favorite authors. "The World According to Garp" by John Irving. Again, on…

I tend to (as others have mentioned) focus on languages or fields I'm familiar with. Lots of articles on frontend stuff, and JS libraries, even ones I don't use. Mainly just to get…

Sounds about like me. Except I mostly lurk in the comments. I keep HN as my home tab though, so every morning I scroll through top posts and look for what appeals to me. Generally …

Completely agreed. I find it much easier to communicate with specialists like our DBA, or DevOps team, having at least some mid-level experience or knowledge in each different doma…

I agree in theory, but (in my opinion) the difference is that we now realize how much we screwed things up in other places, so we don't want more people to do it. It's a flawed arg…

Well it would also not come in the correct order if someone types their password wrong, deletes letters and re-types them, etc. But I assume the idea would be that you'd have a muc…

Yeah, I don't see this as an attempt to be another Codepen or jsfiddle. This is just a way to easily test out features of a language, without going through the (sometimes very tedi…
