I really like the URL-based puzzles, e.g. the 1o57 puzzle described in this walkthrough: https://web.archive.org/web/20210423041523/http://elegin.com...

As CrazyStat hints, anagrams are not equivalent in Wordle, because changing the word order means that you're also changing the bucketing, the words in the anagram shifting between yellow and green. To be more specific, I counted 882 po

This strategy seems to avoid words that Wordle will accept, while not choosing them as word-of-the-day, e.g. SERAI. If your goal is to minimize the number of remaining words in the worst case, I think SERAI is the winner, leaving you with a

I cannot see any possible motivation for a dealer to add no-resale provisions to their agreements with ordinary customers. If these vehicles are in high demand, to prevent scalping? The length of the restriction ("no resale for one

I like it, because it makes the transition to real sprites much easier. You don't have to support a TTY library and a GUI client at the same time.

It's interesting to me that GoRuck keeps showing up in the comments. I've seen it show up in several other contexts (geocaching, Ingress, etc.), and ... It seems like a "lifestyle brand", but are they also focused on o

It did take me a little while to work out that the left and right edges were pinned, and my drag-and-drop didn't do what I intended more than once. But... then you're being tested (unintentionally) on the ability to discern that t

It bugs me that they give you sample questions, but they don't lay out how you can solve it. I think it's still calculators, pen and paper, but ... that's the kind of detail that matters.

“So far, nearly 150 lives have been saved as a direct result of the site and my actions.” I get that those 150 lives were all at risk, because a not-too-bright someone wanted them killed, but... I'm also curious how many of those would

How does one design such a thing? Is it software or "on paper" or with piecewise prototyping?

Is there a legal requirement to do a DMCA take down of something the copyright holder doesn't know about? If you put something on Twitter mentioning certain cryptocurrency keywords (e.g. MetaMask), you'll get reply tweets from bot

So does an IPO make their dark patterns ("download the app or we will annoy you forever") better or worse? It's either money for continued operations or the pressure to milk active users for cash.

Yeah, all the radius read 0 m, but the map overlay of the blast still covers several miles.

A 0.0000000000001 kiloton (milligram-ish) explosion has a comically large blast radius.

I think that's the key distinction. On mobile you would navigate and dismiss the same way. On a web page, I tend to scroll using a single finger or knuckle on the arrow keys. Requiring a mouse at that point (or extra keypresses, if t

Here I am reading, following this reasonable argument and... boom pop-up "call to action" interrupts the hell out of it. I realize the conversion rate could be lower, but why not put this CTA in a non-pop-up form at the end of t

It would be nice if the color-coded key ("Object", etc.) linked to the detailed sections below. When I first saw "Object" in the summary, I didn't know what it meant.

Once a species is declared extinct, is it legal to hunt? I realize this may sound like a weird question, but I'm curious if there had ever been mistakes like this, with a lack of protection leading to actual accidental extinction.

I purchased a 35 pound tungsten racing weight about 15 years ago, 70% tungsten if I recall. It's large enough that it's triggered my "why do I have this?" sense, but it is still cool to hold. It's very important to

I doubt this nets out as "free". The campaign was "this ship is sinking" (for people doing adult content), and subscribers and content creators have been acting accordingly.

This reminds me of the story of the man who put hidden compartments in cars [1], or the man who trained people to beat polygraph tests [2]. Whenever someone tells you about All the Crime They Are Doing, I think you should assume that you ar

Give me a picture of Kissinger and a sharp knife and I would be sorely tempted to make confetti of it. I can understand when someone refuses to address butchery with a polite and artful response.

I found this article interesting, but the HN title ("Off-by-one error...") doesn't match the article's, or its conclusion? The article mentions a boundary condition ("_share_price > 0"), not an off-by-one er

I enjoy this sort of content. Are there feeds similar to HN that focus on goals and social networking specifically?

The DoJ press release doesn't make this clear: what happens to the money now? Is it returned to the company, or does the DoJ keep it as an asset forfeiture?

As I understand it, CCPA means any California resident could hypothetically write a data broker, get their own file, and determine how much actual tracking is going on. All the hypothetical examples are realistic, but... what are the name
