git clone, make sure TypeScript is installed, and open src/index.ts Would be nice if this was exported to some TypeScript playground environment.

Easiest is to just press `.` on the GitHub repo to open the GH dev environment

wait... WHAT!? how is such an amazing feature hidden behind some incredibly obscure keyboard shortcut? this completely changes how I'll explore Github.

I'm really surprised I've never even discovered that accidentally. If nothing else, this is a vastly superior way to search a repository.

It was added about a year ago so it's fairly recent. Before this another group had made this same thing on a different website (turns out a big advantage of Electron apps is they can be converted to web apps without TOO much difficulty). With that one you'd just replace the domain of the URL with whatever that website was

Too bad there is no such thing as HN comment of the week, this would be it.

So which one should now one study - TypeScript type system, RxJS operators, or the next generation of vomit produced by the Angular team? Together they compose extremely unfunny clusterfuck. For now my CVs all fall into a black hole, you better not fall off the employment train.

For those wanting a TS Playground link: https://tinyurl.com/mw6pbpht

If you have been wondering how much data a uri hash can store. Firefox can handle up to 1M characters, Chromium much more. I did not test Safari and mobile browsers though. This game is at 12k encoded and is far from hitting the limit. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16247162/max-size-of-loc...

Just open the repository and type a dot on your keyboard. You don't need to select anything.
