This reminds me of that video where LGR reviewed a keyboard with a PIZZA keyboard key. Probably more useful of a usecase than this really... (https://youtu.be/USQxZc9nmtE)

Yes, and in five years they'll start showing blocking modals too, after realising this isn't monetizable.
And the never ending circle continues... Just self-host.
Using JS over CSS for sizing elements rarely is a 'better solution', mostly because of flashes of unstyled content - especially on mobile where it might take longer for the JS to fully initialise.
Like other comments on here say, just use height: 100% instead.

Every time a article like this is posted I'm just flabbergasted at the fact that 'looking behind you before actually opening a door' is such a foreign concept to Americans.

That blur filter absolutely annihilates my macbook's CPU.
EDIT: 4 hours remaining... hmmm.. feeding it a 400 track playlist probably wasn't a good idea

Yes, so let's all keep reinventing the wheel, over and over again.
I know the author uses pretty extreme examples, but I still don't see what's inherently wrong with the mentioned packages.
- it does what you think it does:
`isOdd(2)` is a lot easier to understand than `value % 2`
- even though most of these are one liners, it's one line of code less that you have to maintain
- if the package is at least somewhat popular, it's highly likely it has measures for edge cases; stuff I wouldn't have thought of when writing it myself.
On top of that, mentioning left-pad is really cliche and weak at this point (bear in mind this happend 2 years ago), npm has taken measures and nothing similar has happend since then, and even then, it was still a fairly isolated event - the whole thing actually took 10 minutes.
I'd much rather take a rare, yet-to-happen-again chance that a package goes down, over having to rewrite simple utility functions over and over again, every month.
What I would really like (but was never able to find) would be the opposite direction, i.e cast things from me phone (or laptop) to a program running on my PC (or my android device) - i.e a software "chromecast".
Is anybody aware of such an application (that actually works)?
On mac, I've used reflector in the past which makes your mac act as a chromecast receiver.
But seems like it only supports screen casting.
They can't? Or they won't?
They could've made an open standard that not only websites but other search engines could implement as well, but then again why would they do that? They'd lose a competitive advantage.
I think AMP is very deliberately locked in to google.
Well, at least our decision to split services has paid off. All of our web app infrastructure is on AWS, which is currently down, but our status page [0] is on Digital Ocean, so at least our customers can go see that we are down!
A pyrrhic victory... ;)
[0] - http://status.hrpartner.io
EDIT UPDATE: Well, I spoke too soon - even our status page is down now, but not sure if that is linked to the AWS issues, or simply the HN "hug of death" from this post! :)
EDIT UPDATE 2: Aaaaand, back up again. I think it just got a little hammered from HN traffic.
When even the status page is down, panic.
