I'm glad you noticed that! I added it as a convenience for myself when testing it... and wasn't sure if anyone else would discover it :)

Thanks :) I also order the results based on frequency and I just pushed an update to the site that uses the official word list of "Draw Something".

Heh, it was a jab at my co-founders.

Wow thanks for the link to the csv. I just pushed a new version that uses that list!

Thanks for the suggestion! Just deployed a new version that links to their page.

Unfortunately, that was a bug. If the number of characters you provided was less than the length of the word you gave, the server 500'd. Oops! Sorry about that, the link should be fixed now!

I used the frequency lists from Wikitionary for searching an ranking. They've got the 40,000 most frequent words.

This is just a quick project I threw together this Saturday. It simply finds all possible words that meet the criteria you specify and ranks them according to their English frequency.

In my experience, Udacity isn't concentrating on short, easy classes. They've simply chosen to start with courses that have larger appeal. Sebastian Thrun, the professor for CS373, has routinely stated that the caliber of the coursework and

It's a bit more complicated than that for non-residential buildings over a small size. Any emergency exits and doors for an area where a large group of people might aggregate (i.e. a classroom) almost always have to open outward because mob

Similar in spirit to the Haskell and Lisp examples, here it is in Python: people = [Person('foo', 'bar'), Person('John', 'Doe'), Person('Jane', 'Anonymous')] key = lambda person: len(person.first_name + person.last_name) max(p

In our experience, Heroku has orders of magnitude more issues than AWS. Look at their status page for a list of issues since only Jan 25th: https://status.heroku.com/ They pretty much have an issue every other day. Sure it usually only ef

It's also worth noting that (in addition to the other flaws you noted) this is a single-round game, where strategies often can be aggressive and deceptive while still being successful (i.e. see most court cases). When dealing with business,

Interestingly enough, I recently wrote a post explaining how to take a binary search and derive Newton's method from it: http://stevekrenzel.com/articles/newtons-law It's a fairly straight-forward transformation.

The thing to keep in mind is that SOPA, if I understand correctly, only applies to foreign entities. As it stands, FB won't be impacted substantially by the legislation. That said, it'd be in their best interest to stop this now, because ev

Yahoo's YUI has a whole write up on this in their design patterns: http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/social/core/yourvmy.htm... They explain why they've determined that "your" is best.

There are a couple dozen startups in the Founders Co-op space at Boren and Republican (my startup included). The office is literally surrounded by Amazon's new campus. It's an awesome space if you're looking for high energy and brilliant pe

Yep, same here. I've done several loans and always have gotten repaid. Great service.

The problem with null is that when anything can be null, your type system is always lying to you and as a result you don't get the full benefits of a real type system (see Haskell for a great type system). When a var is a boolean, you can't

It's pretty evident from your previous comment that you're not sure what jQuery is. Are you sure you're not confusing it with something else?

It's a fairly selfish view to distort a feature designed for abuse into a feature for your personal preference. Thought processes like that lead to the collapse of great communities. If you want to influence HN, you should submit and upvote
