I think it's fair enough? The discrepancy between a few years and 17 months is outside the realm of ordinary casual imprecision, so it seems like the author made a mistake one way or the other. I'm kind of curious now about how lo

I obviously could be wrong about this, but I wonder if one puzzle per day is too few to get people hooked on the game? I know it worked for Wordle, but that a) had novelty on its side, and b) was lucky. Right now I'd happily play a bun

Interesting game! If I'm reading the code right, the distance between two letters is the straight-line distance between the centres of those two keys on the on-screen keyboard? It might be good to make that explicit; I think the phrase

Not sure how well it fits what you're looking for, but if you're not already aware of tom7/suckerpinch, you might get a kick out of some of his videos -- e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TFDG-y-EHs

I've been playing around in test mode and I noticed that sometimes the first note or two don't play properly when I click 'play the tune' for the first time. Frustrating in hard mode with limited plays!

Thanks, I honestly appreciate this reply. I'm always a bit worried I'll come across unpleasantly when making posts like that, and spark a negative reaction. In terms of what's likely, from a quick search it looks like the max

I wonder if adblockers have contributed to this. In theory we users can reward non-horrible advertisers by whitelisting their ads, but in practice we tend to block as much as possible. The remaining ad-viewing audience will be partly compos

Is this after you've done a lot of blocking (or other customisation)? For me the top Kagi results are mostly similar to the Google ones, and when I scroll down a bit Kagi doesn't save me from articles with openings like > Time

Yeah, but that was given the name 'Eternal September' as a reference to the literal Septembers of the preceding years, when there would be a regular influx of newbies.

That was an impulsive act (in reaction to people who had been abusing him personally), with no strategy behind it and serving no particular goal. If something like that is done at all, it's not very surprising that it's done in a

This would be a weirdly clumsy approach for Reddit to take. I don't know whether they're too ethical to do something like this, but surely they're too competent to do it in such a silly way. Simplest explanation is someone el

The problem is that we had put quite a few of our eggs in the AZ basket to begin with, so the loss of confidence seriously delayed our vaccine rollout. And in the end we missed out, by a couple of months, on having good vaccine coverage bef

There are some towns nearby. Worst I've heard of so far is broken windows, cracked ceilings and the like. Definitely some potential for injury, but I haven't heard of anyone significantly hurt.

This is why I like games with an execution element as well as a decision-making element. If the execution is challenging, you get dynamism and unpredictability for free, without taking anything out of the player's hands.

Just out of curiosity, what if you go to a significantly darker brown, say 30/100/20 h/s/v. Unfortunately these subjective tests will vary from monitor to monitor, but assuming that's still clearly brown rather than

It sounds like the brown-orange link is intuitively obvious to you. But I think the claim being made is that for most native English-speakers, the link between orange and brown is significantly less obvious than that between X and dark X, f
