When I got to the 1M LOC I involuntarily paused feeling like this must be satire.

Ok, I think it's time for me to finally build a controller PWA with websocket/webrtc so I can play games in the browser with my phone.

Intrigued to see what a website that doesn't support Chrome has to offer.

The amount of functionality an application provides should be the benchmark for the size rather than one's available disk space. I'm sitting on 20TB+ of available storage and anything over 1MB for a simple "Hello World" is excessive.

What would the cost of allowing random landing page generation be? Alternatively, an examples/showcase page could be useful in presenting the value proposition before potential user commits.

One might say, OP is overREACTing.

It doesn't. Registering a dedicated .com domain is an overkill for this as well.

This is far from "clearest way possible", it's not even in the middle. This choice impedes communication which makes is less useful, by your definition.

I find it difficult to believe that the author's aim was to share a story in such way that's unnecessarily harder to consume, by a large portion of people otherwise interested in their thoughts.

The limitations of this tool are obvious from the author's documentation. Plus, a door lock would prevent this from working, so if you're living in a recent house and have thick door and lock the door, you don't have to worry about this attack vector. It's strongly suggested to also hot glue your USB ports shut for added security.

Interesting read (from HN today) about crawling a quarter billion webpages in 40 hours, for $580, over 10 years ago.

Who owns the user-generated content? Would it be feasible to clone Reddit (the site) and populate it with content scraped directly from Reddit? One could potentially even claim the same username by verifying their ownership of it on Reddit. Of course it's not easy but a mass social migration might be more practical than mass segregation in hopes of something else to slowly gaining traction.

It's also possible to use Twilio with their GUI "studio" to create this entire flow. I've used it as call recording system for when I need to record outgoing calls and it's worked wonderfully (and was easy to set up).

I would hire a private investigator to get some dirt on the bullies' families and then have my kid ready with a response the next time he gets called out for NOT having the latest iPhone - "Well, I might NOT have an iPhone but at least my father doesn't have a second family in Tampa" or "You might think my Android is worse than your iPhone but at least my parents didn't need to remortgage the house two times to afford it" or "Maybe your sister can get me one then with all that OnlyFans money she's making?"

I am certain this would get the right kind of attention from the bully's parents the second little Johny makes dinner talk the most uncomfortable day in HIS family's life.
