Linking to that thread is super helpful, thanks! This feels largely correct to me and I was in the same camp at the time re: Google sentiment. “Google kills products” has been a meme for so long that I had kinda forgotten.

Do you remember what you found better about it? Speed? the UI? Definitely believe that it was better (people switched to it fast!) but I'm curious about the details.

Alright yeah, speed makes sense. I had forgotten about the UI! Kinda remembering now how they pushed the tabs up into the window chrome next to the close/minimize buttons which let them really shrink down the size of the top bar back w

Is there a canonical answer (or three) for why Chrome beat out Firefox the way that it did? I think I remember Chrome doing per-tab sandboxing back when a single Firefox tab could brick your whole browser, but I'd be a little surprised

Hi! I picked the color scheme pretty haphazardly and have avoided tweaking it because I figure I'll fall into a rabbit hole. Do you just mean that the background seems super muted / desaturated as though it's being faded whil

That's also a great suggestion! I'll make sure to credit you if I ever get this cleaned up and properly online :)

Yeah you're totally right, right clicking a search bar should also work and would be lower friction / less confusing. > Still, it's just a toy anyway, I assume you weren't planning to turn this into a real service rig

Ah! That's a great idea re: monospace-ness. I haven't put a playable version online just because I wasn't super excited at spending much more time on something that is Firefox-only just because that limits the audience a bit.

Author here! That article (and plenty of other stuff on that site) was a direct inspiration for this trick! Matthew's stuff is really great. Early on I thought I might try to incorporate some kind of browser-bar animation into what I w

I've built 5 small browser-based game-jammy games (e.g. nothing that took me more than ~2 weeks) in Godot 3.5 this year[1] and have largely enjoyed the experience - I'll echo other folks and say that you might just be happy using

The idea of posting anonymous profiles for TV characters is really fun, thanks for posting this! The numbers even seem relatively reasonable, although I'd expect Don Draper to be making a bit more... On the feedback side, is there any

I love the mechanic and it actually took me a bit of time to fully grasp how it works (although perhaps I'm a bit slow). Just in case you haven't realized, the line that you draw will continue the exact pattern that you draw, no

Good to see Blek on there. One of the most interesting and unique games I've played in a while, and it's absolutely beautifully designed. I haven't seen too many people talking about it on HN even though it's been near

Jay Z's stats are there: he's at 4,506. Pretty middle of the pack. About Biggie:"35,000 words covers 3-5 studio albums and EPs. I included mixtapes if the artist was just short of the 35,000 words. Quite a few rappers don’t

You can also use send a double tilde ( Enter, ~, ~) to pass a tilde to your inner ssh session. So killing a session within a session is Enter, ~, ~, .

I thought the article's title was a joke when I first read it! Facebook acquiring a drone maker seemed absolutely bizarre to me, as it made me think of military drones. After reading the article, this doesn't seem any sillier tha

Oh wow, I made a comment the other day about how Wave always made me think of Firefly. I had no idea that it was true. In retrospect it makes complete sense.

I have 0 familiarity with Perl 4, and some(but not a lot) of familiarity with Perl 5(I have maintained Perl, I don't ever use it for a new project). What makes you call it an abomination? I'm not a big fan of the language, but I
