Feeling like contacting me?

I'm pretty open to talking about anything.

We use Docker to deploy, do you know of any public forks that do Docker builds?

Looks fantastic! As someone who has done it before, if this gets popular you'll run into some abusive users that you'll want to deal with. Microsoft will often give out free access to it's PhotoDNA service for detection of explicit images of minors. VirusTotal will often do the same for malware in exchange for samples. You'll also want to have a structured retention process, e.g. size is inversely proportional to storage time.

Good luck, get in contact (see my profile) if you run into any issues.

> I only shared the solution and technique with one other server operator I fully trusted based in the UK

I think that was us! We ended up combining it with other fingerprinting indicators, but the whole 'use VGUI' was a surprisingly effective way at handling this. I believe they removed the web browser in ~2018, which was disappointing. Being able to have custom skill trees / fun integrations with servers was really powerful!

The table name has been changed to "hackernews", although it also hasn't been updated for 7 months.

One of the original devs here. The map is just html with position offsets!

It feels like having a predefined list of keys that are ignored is a "hack". Would a better solution be to simply wait until none of the _trigger_ keys were pressed?

E.g. if the sequence was "Ctrl" + "F8" then it would just ensure that neither Ctrl nor F8 were pressed.

Most people typically speak in the 130 - 180 word per minute range, although this can vastly change based on context. Preprepared speeches, arguments and monologues generally have a higher pace than a usual conversation between two people.

> It’s difficult to type and think at the same time, so any time spent writing is a pause in thoughts, which can derail the flow.

I'm a competitive typist. I'm also a programmer. The main positive that I see is that typing no longer requires thought. I think of the code I want to write and it's transcripted onto the computer.

I would say that it's more advantageous to type _accurately_ than quickly. Typing competitions generally require 100% accuracy, which gives me a great amount of belief that what I'm typing is correct, without having to look at it / check it over and get side tracked from the code itself.

This was really enjoyable, although I found it difficult to read all the letters when it got a little faster! Ended up scoring 170 after a couple of attempts. I looked at the code and it is fairly clean. I'd probably recommend using 'requestAnimationFrame' over the 'setTimeout' you currently use for the loop. I'd also make it clearer that bad accuracy lowers your score!
