I find those posts more like Ads within the site. They all seem to be Y Combinator sponsored jobs. It's in no way different than how twitter, facebook and instagram post ads in between content.

I'm curious to know how the author managed to take a screenshot of the site? I know there were methods to actually recreate the DOM via some 3rd party library. Not sure if things have changed with HTML5 or others means of doing it.

I know certain websites like google buy domain names which can easily be misspelled and redirect them back to google.com. For typos like gogle.com, or adding extra 'o' gooogle.com

I agree this does look sweet, however this is not a replacement for alert. window.alert() is a blocking function, it prevents further code to be interpreted while the alert or prompt is open.

Well, it's also not a simple as you describe. You might have objects within the canvas that might also need to be resized, images, text, bg images, bounding borders, etc. All these things will need to be taken into consideration when being scaled or resized.
