As far as search engines go, DuckDuckGo is pretty neat, have been using it for 3 years now and can count with my fingers and toes how many times I've used Google since then. And half of those times it was because I typed the search ter

You can also use a very acute 3D perspective transform to create almost any quadrilateral shape, so the support can be a bunch better.

You'll be surprised how well it works by just switching the user-agent. It's more of a "too lazy to make sure it works" than a "actually doesn't work and Chrome should be used" situation.

You don't necessarily need a walled garden. A walled garden is the centralized "store" where you _have_ to download apps from. But you can still have proper security features without centralization. Android's permission

But not everyone likes Markdown, it would possibly be bloated! Maybe we should add a scripting language so that sites can use any source format they want? Oh wait.

Dragging the tool box makes it into a window, but if I release it immediately, the title bar gets interleaved with the menubar buttons and I can't drag it anymore.

The problem here is not a lack of framework, but the overkill usage of elements. I think even a game-like approach of using a single canvas and re-rendering the whole screen when something changes would be more efficient than manual DOM mut

The company I work on (quite small, 15ish people) uses this, mainly as a replacement for the outdated Sinopia. Works just great, with seamless proxying, and makes it quite faster since we run it on the internal network. Even NPM modules get

The site theme could use a bunch more contrast. In the docs sidebar, I can literally not read the section names until I hover, and then squint some.

You are absolutely correct. I actually was going to write WM, but then I realized that it might be incorrect, I didn't actually know if it was the WM or additional software. So I said the distros do it, since it would be inaccurate but

There are many polyglot "code games". Off the top of my head: http://codingame.com/ - They support a lot of languages, even Rust! I also remember an old Java application where you would write AIs for dueling bots,

Not exactly. It is an alternative to the concept of passwords in general. But it is not a complete solution to all the things covered by those services.

I work in a small webdev shop, mostly maintaining existing projects, and work can be quite "menial" (as far as front-end can be) sometimes. What I do find incredibly rewarding is game development. I participate in game jams [1][2]

I've taken "From NAND to Tetris" by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken while at high school. Very nice explanation of the whole stack. As the name suggests, they teach the necessary to build your own computer, assembler, language
