That's not a mix problem, that a you problem. You can very easily customize and build on top of a solid base. Add fruits (berries, banana, etc), add chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Add cocoa powder, cinnamon, etc. The powder is just a base

I don't understand much of the site either, but at a high level, my guess is that it's sorting crypto coins by computation required vs $$$. Right now ETH is at the top, aka for every flop you put it, you get the most return, but t

Hell, the fancy sci-fi illustration and UX design give much more of a "tech startup" feel than a serious monetary alternative.

The fact that browsers never managed to come together to build and integrate a proper emulation layer is truly a shame. I know there's quite a few projects out there, but we really need something built-in the browser.

I wasn't actually talking about any specific app. I'm not a musician, and while I've touched Live/FLStudio, most of my experience is just with toy ones on the web. I've seen dozens over the years with various level

This was... really not good. As anyone who's played around with a grid beatmaker, honestly almost anything you put in there kinda sounds good and groovy, yet honestly most of the stuff there felt less good than average, no better than

Everything is, stock markets, oil prices shooting up, etc. Uncertainty isn't good for futures.

I will say, at first I was skeptical Sponsorblock would work, but after trying it, I'm really surprised by how good it is. Even videos from smaller channels generally have annotations. I also really enjoy the other types of annotations

The ones I named all keep the daily limit and don't have ads/signup. I don't think they're overly hard or convoluted either.

It's also one of the rare offshoots that actually iterates on the UX experience and improves on it. I like being able to see if a word exists without pressing enter for example.

To be fair there's two things at play here. On the one hand, I agree it may be more enjoyable for you to watch it all at your own pace. On the other hand, I think it's objectively true that the HBO/Disney model does more to k

I don't think it's entirely true. Many have managed to create alternatives that have gotten serious traction. There's a few I've been consistently playing for a week and honestly enjoying more than Wordle itself. I'

It's coming one step at a time. First the subtle side bar linking to their other games. They diverged from the answer list. Next they removed all bad words from the dictionary like "bitch" and so on. Now the cookie stuff.

I despise crosswords and love Wordle. to me they are completely different kinds of games. While a huge vocabulary helps with wordle, it's not required, especially since the answer dictionary itself is mostly common words.

The wordlist definitely isn't perfect, and obviously each person has their own vocabulary, but it still is a key. It's something the creator mentions, if on your first play you run into a stupid word, you probably won't come

The original prototype for Wordle was actually back in 2013 [0]. But yeah he didn't really touch it until mid 2021 when he recreated it from scratch. The improved word list which plays a huge role came then, with the help of his partne

I'm not sure what the situation described above has to do with Gmail and migrating off of it. OP was storing hundreds of videos, probably against Youtube ToS, to run their business. Pretty sure unlisted videos can't run ads either

Oh no, now someone will make wordlecoin, where you have to work with others sharing hints to mine each block.

More importantly, "driverless" means no one at the driver seat. What Tesla has is barely even Level 3. Waymo right now is doing rides without anyone in the driverseat, aka Level 4. What Tesla is doing is not driverless.

Good point, and hopefully in 6 years you'll have forgotten what the initial words were!

Meh, other than the crossword, the other ones are fairly trivial games. Simon Tatham's puzzle pack [0] for example has 5x more games for free and ported to most platforms. [0] https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatha
