If someone asks you that in an interview, isn't the proper response to close your laptop, put on your hat and leave? That's what I'd expect if I asked that question.
Hey, some people go to the movies and order coke and popcorn, some people register funny domain names and hack up a simple site. Either way it's a few dozen bucks for a few hours of amusement.
I really don't want to say "this is turning into reddit", because it isn't. Otoh, at the time of this writing, we have 35 people thinking this is worthy of an upvote. Something that "good hackers would find interesting". Sorry to say, but this barely gets me to chuckle.
It's not just this one: the fartscroll thing was also something that should not be here. Maybe the implementation was interesting, but c'mon! Top link?
News for the day:
There is a solar eclipse supposedly currently in progress. I can't find mention of it here. Is astronomy not of interest to some hackers?
The fartscroll script at least demonstrated how to embed audio data in the script itself and handle cross-browser format differences. Sure, it was a little juvenile, but every once in a while, we have to stop taking ourselves so seriously.
I'm all for keeping things light, but even then we need a time and a place. Otherwise it becomes a slippery slope in what becomes acceptable, and the average submission slowly degrades in quality.
That made my day. I actually have multiple domains pointing to the same box, and the direct ip is defaulting to a different domain than 400.io and thus different content. Still, quite entertaining.
