I feel like the JS community solved this problem by and large by standardizing on Prettier. Love it or hate it, there's nearly no discussions of the kind the article is about anymore. Have an opinion about automatic semicolon injection? You loss, prettier says semicolons so semicolons it is. Not because it's better, but because we don't want to spend any more time discussing this nonsense.
Author addresses this a little bit by saying that every language has a formatter these days, but people actually using it means all these discussions go away. For me, that's a big win even it it means that sometimes my code doesn't lay out exactly as prettily as I'd have liked.
Ok, so the author thought it's a great idea to embed a little mini-game onto the page - in case two squares shot by the things in each bottom corner ever collide, your mouse cursor vanishes. Brilliant - tab closed.
PS. fix the origin of the projectile shooters - right now they are shooting from the "side" and it looks sloppy.
Oh so that's why my cursor randomly vanished. I ended up just putting it in the middle right at the bottom so the little squares wouldn't get in the way of me trying to read

And then I've realized that uBlock has an option to "disable all JS on that website" - and that worked wonderfully, and stopped vanishing cursor too.
Recommend everyone does the same.
