I made this reversle solver a while back, where you put in the pattern and solution and it gives you the possible words. I used it to draw pictures (like flowers) and write poems. https://jse.li/wordle-reverse/ Flowers

It's a waste of time for sure, but it's clearly written by a British author about British and European politics, so that label wouldn't be quite applicable either.

The reason that they needed to set up such a complicated analogy is because they needed a way to justify a hand-wavey fitness function of "extensibility/modularity" instead of the much simpler and more useful "does this

What's interesting is how 2048 characters is 2 KB (a factor of 1000 difference) but this conversion of 2 MB = 2048 characters seems to have been copy-pasted around the web

I was in your position a few years ago. You might try emailing startups to take a chance on you (the more bureaucracy, generally the harder it is for people like you who have skills but no credentials). It's much harder as a high schoo

It's hilarious that this is standard self-help advice designed to make you a better worker, packaged up as something subversive or "anti-mimetic." I am reminded of Mark Fisher: "Witness, for instance, the establishment o

They engineered themselves out of their current job and still get paid for the job they don't have to do. Sounds like they engineered it pretty well.

This is a pretty generic and non descriptive title but they're launching a WebRTC TURN service and some higher level libraries for using WebRTC. Having to run your own TURN server is a notorious barrier for building serious p2p apps so
