This page will wreck your browser history. The post explains the rationale at the end, but frankly speaking there should have been the warning for each checkbox.

I’m on mobile. The checkboxes had no effect, the code run on its own by default. And I gave up on trying to go back to Lobsters by using the Back button.

Note: you must have in for this to work.

Or you can just use \u escape codes and keep all your source in ASCII.

Use incognito mode for this site... your back button will thank me

Or, just open in a new tab.

Tab will still foobar your history though, wouldn't it?

Another perfect example of the childish activities of the web today. Remember the days when postings were about serious technical advancements and not random hobbyist activities?

What? Stuff like this is what made the web fun. At least he put it on his own blog instead of facebook.

I guess this is something one does when one isn't playing their games.

I'm just waiting for mainstream media sites to abuse this to put: 20% OFF SUBSCRIBE NOW in the URL of their page.

Edit: HN doesn't support emoji in comments. That was supposed to be surrounded by sirens.

Am I going crazy or haven't I used websites that update the favicon to indicate things like new notifications? Here's a 16x16 pixel game of Defender implemented by animating the favicon: http://www.p01.org/defender_of_the_favicon/

Shameless plug for a tiny project I did a while back that does exactly this: http://nicolasbize.com/faviconx/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's sad/funny that some big companies adopt AMP in their products even faster than Google themselves.

Big companies care about how they appear on search results pages, google doesn’t.

Google: Look at me. I am the result page.

If you ever see emoji in hackernews comments then hackernews, as it has been, is over.
