I didn't take the test but it might involve sudoku. I remember taking a test of similar fashion some time ago, and the final (hardest) question completely threw me off. I got curious and asked others, and was told it's sudoku related.

Pattern puzzles are good. I remember trying a test on the official Mensa website 10 years ago, and gave up midway because there were lots of word puzzles, which were biased in favor of native English speakers.

If you do CSS you'd know the best fonts for 16px isn't the best fonts for 18px, and definitely not the best fonts for H1 H2 etc.

The Verdana font that HN and reddit uses are pretty good for reading in small text.

I just want to buy the shows I want to watch, and permanently own them under my Netflix account. I don't mind buying them for $30 a season. Just like Steam.

Hey you know what? I think Steam should probably do just that!

"We're very sorry, but we hit the rate limit of the model... please try again shortly."

- It's totally understandable since you're on the HN frontpage, but hey please give me my question back! It took me one minute to type it!!

After finishing the tutorial, for 10+ games I was under the false impression that a powerup is immediately used at the spot where you acquire it. I think if powerups are named "weapons", it should be less likely to cause this fusion for future players, because the word "weapon" implies that you can carry it around.

Thanks, just to confirm: if you want the users to see nice colors out of the box (no matter what theme they use) without needing to customizing anything in their settings, then you'd have to utilize common scopes like variables / functions / errors in a hacky way, correct?

It's a sad truth but for most of us, when it comes to "decide which status game to play", you're simply aiming for money no matter what you choose. Money is the overarching metric that already incorporates everything else. The "weightlifting status" or the "content creator status" mentioned in the article are just money status in disguise.

Ask yourself: if you won a big lottery tomorrow, would you still keep doing what you do today? If the answer is no, then you've been playing the money game all along.

I haven't checked the Sublime package because I'm not very familiar with Sublime (anymore), but I have some experience developing VSCode themes. Did you need to use "tokens / scopes" to hack the colors? E.g. the color theme of the IDE (whatever theme the user is using at the moment) will paint variables in a certain color, functions in another color, arguments in a third color, etc, so you use regex to parse the text file, identify things that you want to color, then set them to be variables, functions, arguments, etc, so the text editor will give them different colors?

By the way (OP here), videos disappear from TikTok everyday for various reasons, and this tool monitors and labels all disappeared videos, as long as you have downloaded them first. My numbers show they typically disappear at a rate of ~3% per month (which is one major reason why I built this tool).
