    Yeah, clicking this link is causing my browser to download a "Human_fart.wav", not sure what it actually contains for obvious reasons.

    it's no vandalism, it's done on purpose: https://www.boringcactus.com/assets/site.js https://www.boringcactus.com/assets/site.js // Never read Hacker News // - Aphyr, "Hexing the technical interview" if (document.referrer.startsWith("https://news.ycombinator.com")) { document.location = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Human_fart.wav" } this also mean that copying the link and pasting it in the address bar will get you no fart sound childish behavior if you ask me

  Wow, the author seems to have a lot of knowledge of what he's talking about. I know almost nothing about writing desktop apps and only a bit of Rust. So, I guess that if we need to choose a Rust gui library, we'll go with something that has "Yes" in all columns?

    Or don't use Rust. There are better and more supported options if you don't try to force a language where it clearly doesn't belong.
