That's exactly how it works. The script scanned the dictionary for pangrams and then built the puzzles from that list, filtering out pangrams that didn't meet the other rules for the game.

Maybe it was 2. It's been a while..

Very possible. The've loosened the rules have a bit since I originally generated the puzzles e.g. they now allow more than one vowel, i+n+g and e+d are allowed in puzzles, possibly more

The minimum puzzle length for spelling bee is 20 words iirc. The dictionary is also a highly curated list of “common” words. What constitutes a valid word is up to Sam, the NYT editor. It’s designed to make the puzzles doable by the average

For personal projects I use Firestore. Performant and a very generous free tier.

Basically proving their point. We should have been more critical of the ICE too before we built our whole society around it and let it contribute to destroying our environments.

I think the author is just saying not to have draconian testing requirements for every PR like some companies do. But really, I can see it. Firstly, a lot of engineers suck are writing tests. White box unit tests with interfaces and mocking

As someone who recently got married I can tell you that anyone in the wedding party who hasn't been married is useless. Total dead weight at best and counterproductive, self-centered a*holes at worst (sorry the venue made you get a cov

I think that's a bit unfair. I went for my honeymoon and found the people there more than welcoming to two very-basic-french-speaking Americans. We drove around and explored the island totally independently.

I enjoyed Nice. I also enjoyed the towns around it. I even enjoyed Monaco which seems like an unpopular opinion. Not sure why it’s one or the other. I’d also recommend Corsica if you make your way down there. Now THAT’S a secret (for Americ

Just spitballing... I wonder if anyone has tried using a private subreddit for team collaboration? I feel like it has the opportunity to be a great asset. It's free, persistent, searchable (ish), supports threads, images/links&#x2

I think the language is fine as is. If anything I just want some rewritten packages in the std lib. I’d love to see what an http/v2 or sql/v2 would look like without the baggage of backwards strict compatibility. No more f() and f

Please. I’ve been asked why I didn’t use specific features of kafka in my solution and “because I’ve never used it before only these other pubsub systems” was not the right answer.

I’ve found that the more people you throw at a candidate the higher the chances that _someone_ is going to find _something_ they don’t like about him/her and burn them in the end, especially when approvals have to be unanimous. I’ve se

I'm curious, if you owned 51% of the network what's to stop you from rebuilding the entire history of the chain and then adding new transactions (including any of your new fraudulent ones) on top?

by spyspy 4y ago
The link doesn't work and there's no record of what the image was on the chain. But believe me it was cool.

Yeah really the only realistic question is, what's (most) everything else written in? Company's don't spend much time debating programming languages unless there's a _really_ compelling reason to switch.

Idempotency is something I think about constantly. It's part of my Optimize For Sleep® development philosophy. You have to assume that 1) your program can and will fail at any arbitrary point during execution and 2) the caller of your

This is pretty misinformed. Each provider has multiple “serverless” offerings and cold start time has much to do with your specific application and what it’s doing on start up.

I believe this is why GCP added random hashes to their Cloud Run URLs whereas AppeEngine gave you a deterministic one e.g. https://{serviceID}-dot-{projectID}.appspot.com

I did the same for my honeymoon last fall. I hate carrying around a "full size" camera because 1) it's bulky and heavy and expensive so I have to worry about it constantly and 2) it makes me look like your standard tourist. P
