Hey, OP here. This is great! I’d love to get this into the hands of Adrian (that’s the kiddo’s name). Unfortunately, my hardware assembly skills are next to zero. Is there any chance to get a pre-assembled prototype? I’d happily pay for the

I don’t think it should be a Show HN – AFAIK this tag is for one’s own creations.

I play Polish Scrabble competitively, and IME there’s much more to the game than just memorizing the dictionary. A program that has full knowledge of the dictionary and always plays the highest-scoring word will easily yield to a human. The

Is there still a php.ini that allows you to alter the language’s semantics? To me, that’s the biggest can of worms that PHP used to have. I haven’t touched it in years, so am not up to date.

Hey HN! I’m happy to answer any tech questions about this. I haven’t worked on it personally (so it’s not a Show HN), but I’ve been tracking the development and know the details.
