A guide to exception handling in Python
Honeybadger is a powerful error-monitoring tool for Python applications. Integrating an error monitoring service like Honeybadger into your development workflow provides numerous benefits for effectively managing exceptions. From real-time notifications and error grouping to rich diagnostics and trend analysis, Honeybadger equips you with the tools you need to quickly identify, investigate, and resolve errors and ultimately enhance the overall quality and reliability of your applications. To demo this, let's now explore some features and examples of integrating Honeybadger into your Python code.

Debugging an Application in Production
It sounds like you want to implement an exception monitoring tool like Honeybadger (my company), Sentry, or similar. They will tell you when someone encounters an error with your app, where the error occurred, and what the state of the app was (parameters, etc.) at the time of the error.

Let’s scan DEV’s forem project with Bearer and analyze the results
You may wonder why this is a problem. In the case of this code, we're sending the user's username to a third-party service. While username isn't inherently sensitive data, it certainly has to potential to be and should be treated as such. It's better to use IDs that can't identify the user if the third party—in this case, honeybadger—is breached. You can see the full list of supported data types, sorted by category, on the docs.

Exception Handling in JavaScript

- Have you ever been mad enough at a company treating you wrong that you thought about building your own solution? Well, back in 2012 we did that! This is the story of how three devs with an app have thrived amid an excess of venture-capital-backed competitors.
- Monitoring doesn't have to be so complicated. That's why we built the monitoring tool we always wanted: a tool that's there when you need it, and gets out of your way when you don't—so that you can keep shipping
- Do you currently use one service for uptime monitoring, another for error tracking, another for status pages and yet another to monitor your cron jobs and microservices? Paying for all of those services separately may be costing you more than you think.

We need to Speak about Google Code Quality
I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google.

Plausible as an alternative to Google Analytics
I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

Simple no bs persistent notepad
No clue what you mean, browser cache might even clear itself without you doing anything manually. This thing makes no sense.
Nowhere ever did it say Tech Demo anywhere, not in the HN headline, not on the page itself. No, thanks. And even as a tech demo, there is nothing impressive going in. It is stores shit to local storage, I guess. Lol, I just looked this up, and it was in Firefox on 2009 already? WHAT? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/loca... I never used it myself directly, but I remember reading about some API that kind of is the new version of cookies that can store more and better and I think that is it. 2009, I would swear what I think about was newer, maybe I am mixing something up, maybe not.
It has unnecessarily tracking from the comment above, not sure if it even sends all your notes to https://plausible.io, and I do not care. For me, this fails as a tech demo or whatever the fuck It's supposed to be. Sorry to not get all excited about everything posted here. In 2009 it for sure would ;)

Using Analytics on My Website
If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]
If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.
Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.
Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

Ask HN: What is the least obnoxious way to ask for cookie permissions?
You log the IP address, referrer, user agent and the requested page URL but you don't set a unique cookie to identify the user.
This still gets you plenty of actionable analytics information: where geographically people are located (via GeoIP), what pages are most popular, what platforms (including desktop vs mobile) people are using.
I've been using https://plausible.io for analytics on a bunch of my sites for a couple of years now and I honestly don't miss the extra level of detail I got from cookie-based analytics I've used in the past.
