This is a cool project! Love the fact that some comment summaries are added too. I hope you would continue building it, and also make the text easier to read- like by making the page fixed-width.

Also from the commit message:

like Shift JIS (sometimes called SHIT JIZZ)

Back then when I was working for a Japanese outsourced project, the code won't compile unless the computer's locale was set to Japanese because the C code had comments in Shift JIS.

It's very disturbing to see that your worst passwords are for your bank accounts. Each bank I've worked with has some weird limitation like this. Not to forget that the only form of MFA that most banks allow is SMS - assuming they even offer MFA.

I once spent 15 minutes trying to register in a local Domino's website which kept bugging me about lack of a special character - even though I had one in it. Turned out to be that the app truncates the entered password after the first 20 characters and only considers the first part. Thankfully the special character was after the 20th position so I noticed the error and fixed it, but if it wasn't I'd be wondering the next time I'm logging in why it's not letting me login with a valid password.

As long as it is in a place that you 'have', I believe we can technically count it as MFA.

After 1Password introduced MFA (TOTP) support, it has been used widely in organizations in shared vaults so multiple people can share critical logins that use MFA. This of course means that if your 1Password account is compromised it's game over.

If you don't care about showing off then you won't publish anything

I want to agree, but how can we explain near-anonymous StackOverflow profiles who have brilliant answers in them, but no way to identify who the actual person they are?

It's nice to see built-in offline caching support with service workers. Can anyone explain how this cache gets invalidated when a change is made to the code?

I was skeptical of audio books until I discovered WhisperSync with Kindle and Audible. This has definitely improved my reading pace and motivation.

Not just you, keeping yourself in the flow is why many professionals prefer the keyboard to mouse. Note the word 'professionals', in contrast to a regular computer user browsing Facebook whose curiosity makes him want to easily click on anything that comes to the sight.

I might be a professional when I'm in the zone at the office, but will become a regular user browsing out of curiosity at night.

tldr: the efficiency of the keyboard is contextual.

Been working with C/C++ for most of my career (4+ years), but I have decent JavaScript knowledge/experience. Looking to change the career track as a full-stack JavaScript developer, but I'm willing to work with any technology including Python or Go.

I've been contemplating streaming my work for the same reason as the author of the post, but now I'm having second thoughts about choosing livecoding.tv. The merits will be there only until people realize that they're being tricked.
