Simple and very nice!
i wonder if adding the possibility to lose the rings and die only when hit while having no rings left just like in a real Sonic game would add more fun.

I didn't know of electric-battery-powered leaf blowers! Here in France i always suffer gas engine blowers which are so annoyingly loud and smelly.

alucardo commented on The plague of emoji insertion in French docs bibelo.info/en/the-plague... · Posted by u/bibelo
The same happens with Jira. It's a nightmare since if you press escape to quit the emoji mode, you abort your input and lose focus. There should be a way to configure that shortcut to whatever suites you. Anyway i don't get why web apps bother implementing their own emoji input, the operating system does it already (the windows key + ; shortcut for example).
And to reply to those who simply ask people to change their habit: it's rude. Imagine the other way around: all the English typing people having to insert a space before a : for whatever reason, would that makes sense to you?
alucardo commented on Ask HN: Can you share websites that are pushing the utility of browsers forward? · Posted by u/brrrrrm
My site https://james.darpinian.com/satellites/ uses WebGL, Web Workers, WASM, Service Workers, Notifications API, Geolocation API, probably some other web platform features I'm forgetting.
The use of workers and WASM is not obvious, but on page load it takes the current orbit parameters for every orbiting satellite that is potentially visible anywhere on Earth and calculates the future position of each satellite every few minutes for the next 5 days, and then checks each future position for visibility from your location (accounting for sun angle, earth occlusion, sky brightness etc), all client side before page load finishes. WASM allows me to use the canonical satellite propagation tools (SGP4, written in ancient C translated from Fortran) and workers let me use multiple cores and not block the UI too much.
Fantastic, 3 minutes after clicking on your website, i was watching the ISS passing by at my window.
Who are you to ask such a question ?!
sorry just kidding ;)
