That's awesome!! Thank you very much! I would have next asked you, what do you think of those apps for studying the Talmud, https://www.sefaria.org/app et al, but in those links you already mention it. Looking forward

Very neat. It reminds me a bit of how pages in the Talmud are laid out. From a gentile perspective, it was very interesting to me to see how hundreds (thousands?) of years of commentary are contained within the same page. https:/&#x2F

This is something I've gone and forth on for https://threeemojis.com/ as well. I think it's pretty hard to generate a story of a complicated puzzle, in part because the person you are sending it to doesn't ha

Huh, interesting. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ween I would say this is an archaic usage that is no longer commonplace, and so it'll stay filtered out.

by knuckleheads 11mo ago
Good point! I like some but not all of the interjections, so they'll be getting more filtered out. And yes, I'll bring the word count even further, there's a sweet spot that it isn't quite hitting yet time wise. Thank yo

Of course! There's persisted local storage for storing games. The nice/hard thing about doing two languages is that you can't just throw everything in the same place by default and expect it to still work. Another friend repo

Huh interesting. It's using React for the most part, plus a physics engine for the falling engines. It might also be the css as well, there's a lot of gradients and transparencies in there. I'll make a note to include turning

Ah, WNW is out now. I've made a note to track all those down, there's a bunch of them hiding out in there. And OOO means Out of Office and it's pretty common in English workplaces, to the point that people learning English in

Great minds think alike ;) Some rambly thoughts off the top of my head about picking games: I am still nailing down how many words to put in and therefore how long the game is. Right now somewhere between 30 and 75 feels good, I had it at 1

I do want it to work for everyone though! It might be the emojis falling in the background. I also realized there's no way to turn that off. For a while, I had them piling up at the bottom of the screen which was very cool, but the phy

Some acronyms a language learner needs to know (i.e. OOO, CEO, COO). The others I am hunting down with extreme prejudice.

by knuckleheads 11mo ago
1. This is interesting. It's definitely made with language learners in mind, so there's a copious amount of hints. There's also a ranking system, where you do get penalized if you guess so much. That's not so forward, it

by knuckleheads 11mo ago
Nice, thank you. I have removed both NNW and WWOOF as well now. I have a flagging system, so people can request to have a word removed or added and they get removed/added on the spot. I like some of the acronyms, but I am in the middle

by knuckleheads 11mo ago
Thank you! And yes, taming the word list is a constant battle and a matter of taste. I haven't tried to draw such strict lines yet for the entire language as to what definitely will and won't be in there, beyond nothing vulgar, to

I have had the pleasure of working with her previously and she is the hardest working person I’ve ever met by far. Great pick, very exciting to see!

Ah, in fact, could you add three options: 1. Turn off the display of brackets. 2. Pick colors for each clue. 3. Allow the puzzle to be displayed with a preset fixed width.
112.
by knuckleheads 11mo ago
Yeah I can’t say the emoji linkage do it for me. Perhaps, though, what about color highlights? Sven’s Sudoku Pad lets you apply colors to cells and this is used to great effect during solves on cracking the cryptic. Flipping that from solvi

Very nice! I had been wondering you constructed these. I've enjoyed playing them! A question I would have is how meta do you think can you get with these hints? In crosswords, you often see a lot of references to other clues in the cro

If I recall right, they have most everything in the same CMS, in particular their discussion/help forum is integrated into their main site. To me, that's what the difference is, having done similar work in the past. They have a un

That video has become an instant classic to me when it came out, very well made and explained. Very much influencing my thoughts as of late. Related to the article, I've also spent a few months before working on chess line/complex

Hahah just realized you could talk about Rothko’s basilisk as a mental trap of sorts the same way you could for Roko’s basilisk.

Relatedly, I didn't "get" Rothko's paintings until I saw one in real life last year. Easy to look at through a screen and not get the effect that it has, what with everything on the screen being so pixel perfect. For me,
