Running Pong in 240 browser tabs Published: 2025-02-20 | Origin: Hacker News In a creative project, Nolen Royalty has found a way to utilize unclosed browser tabs by running a game of Pong across 240 tabs arranged in a grid. The idea was inspired by a friend's project that involved creating a Flappy Bird game within a favicon, which presented visibility challenges due to the small size of favicons. To create the grid of tabs, Nolen used AppleScript to automate the opening and positioning of multiple Chrome windows and tabs. The result is a visually engaging game, |
Ugly Code and Dumb Things Published: 2025-02-20 | Origin: /r/programming In a recent conversation, an engineer and I discussed "shitty code," prompting me to share my inspiration, Flamework, a pseudo framework created at Flickr. My work is driven by two main passions: creating elegant, reusable code for Open Source projects and building quick, pragmatic solutions for end users, often in product development where speed is vital. I have learned that the aims of creating reusable code and solving user problems can conflict. This realization began during my work on the German ubuntuusers website, |

Append-only programming Published: 2025-02-20 | Origin: /r/programming The author has adopted a new methodology called "append-only programming," which emphasizes defining interfaces before implementations, promoting the writing of small functions, and enhancing code readability. This approach mimics a stream-of-consciousness style, but it comes with challenges: correcting errors requires appending new functions and possibly retyping entire programs. The author prefers using a shell command to write code, which enforces the append-only rules. While the concept is framed as a fun challenge rather than a practical programming method, it highlights |
