carmaton Show HN: Xkcd mario-ish: a playable xkcd mario level

Pretty cool, but very annoying when the back button doesn't work on samsung/android devices.

I'm criminal for typos too, so I opted for:

carmaton Chrome browser will detect what URL you copied

It's not just when GET params are in the URL. If you try any URL with a path that follows, e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44065422 and then copy the protocol and domain (http://www.bbc.co.uk), the entire domain is added to the clipboard

carmaton Ask HN: Should I start looking for a new job?

Best advice I can give is, at the very least, get a feel for the market. Apply and go to interviews and see how things feel.

I have been in a not too dissimilar position over the past couple of years. I enjoyed working where I was at, but certain restrictions and limitations urged me to look elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I worked with a fantastic team, and in a well oiled machine with lots of very smart devoted people. I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish I was back there, but if you have the desire to learn, you need to take action.

Hopefully that helps ease your mind a little, and good luck.

See "Why was I asked to wait before setting up two-step verification?" in https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204152

carmaton Looking ahead for WhatsApp

This title is very misleading to the point that it's the exact opposite of what the post says:

"We won’t post or share your WhatsApp number with others, including on Facebook, and we still won't sell, share, or give your phone number to advertisers."

carmaton What are your recommendations for Git visualisation?

Just spotted this come up on HN New as well, pull requests included: https://opsnotice.xyz/gogs-git-docker/

Another potential I guess, however I've never used Docker or Go so maybe not worth the risk.

Important point well made. Thank you

carmaton What are your recommendations for Git visualisation?

I probably should have mentioned this in my original post (will amend) but does it handle things like feature/merge requests kind of like how GitHub and GitLab does?
