I've created an open source project and forgot to remove my tracking code too. The only thing was, I was hosting my own analytics with piwik, so the tracking code came from my domain. Although I marked the code with comments lots of people still left it there.

If I was a bad guy this would be an easy and subtle XSS attack vector

SEEKING WORK - remote, based in Austria

I'm a JavaScript & Frontend Developer with a strong interest in data-visualization, product management, and mathematics. I'm currently looking for the next interesting client project. Throughout my 6+ years of industry experience I've created a couple of popular software projects ( heatmap.js [0], nude.js [1], many more), launched several web products, and consulted companies with their web strategies.

I love to work on anything web-related with interesting challenges and aspects that haven't been done.

thank you for reporting it, I just fixed it :)

the score depends on how long you need to get it right (within the countdown). the current points per round are calculated by the following formula: (100-(level+50)) * timeForRound/maxTimeForRound * 20 level can be (20|10|0) where 0 represents very hard and 20 represents easy. --- if there were always points no matter how far you're off the game would never terminate (unless the user decides to stop playing it)

done :) thought of just displaying it in "easy"-mode so beginners can get a feeling for the dimensions

What version of Opera and Chrome? Opera 12.01 and Chrome 21 work - this is what you should see in your title bar: http://o25.img-up.net/screen1239.png

I also gave it a try to create a central summary of several open source licenses and what to do. Without a search, but just a list of the licenses and todos, maybe you find it useful too: http://www.patrick-wied.at/blog/how-to-correctly-use-code-yo...

hey, I'm the author of the article. I didn't write that using dots in the property name is a bad practice, but rather that other parts of the code let me assume that they didn't know a lot about js

I just wanted to say thank you for all the nice comments. great feedback!

hey, thank you for your this comment. Regarding the point that based on your experience passive income means constant work: Yes, I agree with you, passive income is constant work, my target will be to reduce this constant work to a minimum (e.g. a maximum of 2-4 hours per week) and optimize the revenue with the least work. I'm curious whether there are good strategies for doing that otherwise this will just be an empirical experiment :)

I obviously didn't spend enough time to think about it hard enough and wasn't able explore the good sides of advertising. I had a web app and placed a big banner over it, the banner often seemed to show confusing buttons like "SHOW" or "DOWNLOAD" and I guess the users then accidentially clicked it. I think the main problem was that there were no ads that fit to the app (it was a QR encoder/decoder) so I wasn't able to provide a positive ux. Do you have any tips on how to find the best fitting ads for (sometimes very technical related) specific sites/apps?

I'm currently doing contract work for a client in the US and well yeah this is some sort of approach for getting some extra money. Right now I'm studying in Germany and the german tax law applies to me. If the extra money gets over a specific amount per month you'd have to register a traders-license (in case you're selling stuff next to your job, there's the usual income tax and if you get over a even bigger amount you'd have to pay sales tax too) since my passive income approaches didn't pay off a lot yet I'm still in the boundaries where I don't have to worry about that.

thanks for the upvotes guys, but I'd even more appreciate some valuable feedback, tips, and would love to hear about your experiences in this field :)

there is a reason but it's rather incompleteness than an actual bug. the current version of the script only visualizes the posts of the front page.

I appreciate you're liking it, the only tool I used for it was vim. Thanks for the hint, makes sense to remove that from the archive

You're right, the description on the site is not very helpful, I'll add that.

TL;DR It's just a visualization layer above the HN frontpage. Hot means a post has either 'a lot of comments' or 'a lot of points' (configurable with the filter dropdown). It's not much but I was wondering whether anyone would be interested in having such a way of looking at HN. If there's someone who found that useful I'd probably develop it further

drag the 'HN heatmap' link to your bookmarks bar, go to HN frontpage, click the bookmarklet, enjoy. It's basically just the visualization for now.

thanks for the feedback, I should probably gather the row height of HN dynamically instead of having a hardcoded value that seems to work for my devices g

You should be able to click on the links again after closing the heatmap (there's a little x on the right upper corner of the heatmap control that makes the heatmap disappear)

If anyone is interested in contributing: I'm currently implementing a more reliable and more complete implementation of nude.js, including a nodejs module for serverside nudity detection too. I'd appreciate any support ;)

This is the paper: http://www.scribd.com/doc/47871173/An-Algorithm-for-Nudity-D...

Works fine as long as you don't want to generate new QR codes when you're offline. I have to admit, if you're intending to generate QR codes only online, the charts api is the better way to go, since it's more likely to have users with JavaScript disabled than users with image tags disabled g

Hey! I know and I also know that this isn't nice. It is because QR-Designer is using the HTML Canvas' toDataURL function to save the image. The download then gets initiated by setting the dataurl as the document.location.href. Unfortunately I can't control the file name with that technique. I'd really appreciate any hints on how to solve that better (without a server)

Edit: By the way if you're wondering what he's talking about. It's QR-Designer: http://www.patrick-wied.at/projects/qr-designer/

If anyone cares: I just added the DVORAK keyboard layout to the keyboard heatmap and open sourced the code. Here is the repo URL: https://github.com/pa7/Keyboard-Heatmap

I just added the DVORAK layout to the keyboard heatmap and also open sourced it on GitHub, where everybody can contribute his layout preferences: https://github.com/pa7/Keyboard-Heatmap

apparently adblock+ blocks js files called "heatmap"

thank you, I'll add it in my next session :-) (haven't heard from dvorak yet but it seems really interesting)

that's an interesting idea, I think I'll add a dvorak view in my next session :)

thanks, I appreciate you like my spare time work :) productive weekend, yep g

if anyone is interested in the library (heatmap.js), here's the link http://www.patrick-wied.at/static/heatmapjs/

Interesting demo, I did a similar one but with mouse movement: http://www.patrick-wied.at/projects/multiuser-heatmap/ but I think my server wont handle lots of users since I'm using an early version of Ajax Push Engine. nowjs seems to perform really good.

Btw: nice solution for the "too much data" for heatmap.js (at the initial heatmap rendering) issue :)
