  It's a hub for open-source code. You can share your code, but also contribute to others code. For example, here is uBlock's source code. If there is a bug when you use it, you can ask other users if they know how to fix it. Or better, you can download the code yourself, find the bug and fix it. Then you can send that fix to them and it gets added to the code. Now you have personally improve that tool!

  A faster, simpler way to drive browsers supporting the Chrome DevTools Protocol.

  

  Project mention: A very simple uptime monitor written with go | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-04-21

  Future plans I have is for these workers to actually run chromedp (https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) or something similar to generate a har file. Currently the har file can't be generated with chromedp but you could use a proxy like martian (https://github.com/google/martian) maybe to generate this. Then you could results like https://tools.pingdom.com/ (the tool seems not to show each file request for me anymore) for every uptime check and keep stats for this. You are not only testing the uptime then but also the full load time of the page along with checking for other potential problems.

  Project mention: How to Read Books When You Have ADHD | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-14

  “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” -- Francis Bacon

  Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book provides a decent framework for dealing with the variety of books out there. There are also tools like Polar[1] that provide an easy way to do incremental reading[2] which may help when attacking a book piece by relevant piece.
