I'm pretty sure it didn't used to continue after getting one wrong.

You're right, it changed a few months ago. I find it more enjoyable now that you can continue to the end.

https://wordnerd.co/23words/ is similar (but 23 words instead of 18).

Possibly the biggest difference is that 23 Words continues with the next word if you fail to get a word within 30 seconds. When you have attempted all 23 words it will present you with results like this.

    You found 21/23 words

It's one codepoint, U+FDFD, with the name "Arabic Ligature Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem".

I love singing, but I'm not very good at it. About 6 months ago I started attending a local Tuneless Choir[1]. It's just what I needed, and great fun.

I posted about this last week [1], but it didn't get any traction. Although I used a link to the release page rather than the blog announcement, so maybe that was why.

I noticed that Bubble Tea v2 [0] has been released. It looks like a great improvement all round over 1.x. The companion libraries lipgloss[1] and bubbles[2] have also had v2 releases.

Looking at https://github.com/stepandel/chroma-explorer/blob/master/pac... it looks like it's using Electron.

As soon as I saw the scrolling "made by henry (from online)." at the bottom I thought "marquee" tag. Sure enough when I inspected the DOM it does use one.

Where I actually struggled with what's expected is Day 11.

Just the lines from the files are wanted, not the files names. It took me a little while to cotton on to that.

Semi-spoiler follows.

So you need to use the appropriate flag with grep to suppress the file names.

Inserting elements in to a slice can be done quite easily since the introduction of the slices package to the standard library.

I'm in the UK too. So I read the article courtesy of archive.is.

Darts might not be considered a sport, but the British Darts Organisation [1] and the Professional Darts Corporation [2] co-existed (somewhat acrimoniously) for nearly 30 years.

and a fingerprint sensor to identify who’s using the toilet

So it sounds like you would only need one camera for multiple people using the same toilet.

So if I'm understanding it correctly, it applies an xor operation on the pairs of cells. For example, click column A then column B. For each of the pairs of cells in the two columns, it performs B = A xor B.

As the animation loops it uses the same set of images over again. But as they all have a Cache-Control header with a value of "public, max-age=0, must-revalidate" the browser makes another request for every one of the images, every loop of the animation. It results in transfer of something of the order of 0.6MB/sec, with no end.

The page's html and css are reasonably small, 3.3kB and 1.5kB. There are three fonts, totalling about 51kB. So altogether about 56kB.

But then somewhat spoiling the page's nice light weight is a 576kB favicon.

I suspect that it is related to the M&S and Co-op attacks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwykgrv374eo

I do https://wordnerd.co/secretword/ most days. It has a similar interface to alphaguess, and I prefer both of them to midword's interface.

It appears to highlight the letters that your guesses have narrowed it down to. For example if you had narrowed it down to after 'sudden' and before 'super', it would highlight 'su'.

That was fun. I got a score of 4174, and an average of 6.2 years off. Clothes and hair styles were quite helpful in 3 of the pictures.

I'll definitely take a look at it tomorrow.

Oops, that'll teach me to read articles properly before commenting, rather than just skimming.

It's not an http server. Try with something like nc or telnet, and you should get an 'ok' response before it disconnects.

    telnet -4 susam.net 8000

It's 50 feet.

Using Pythagoras, it's the square root of 30*2 + 40*2. It effectively a 3, 4, 5 right angle triangle.

That would be great. Highlighting each one as it's talked about would be even better.

Its take on my profile was reasonably accurate. And I have to say, the roasting was pretty fair and not too mean.

The page appears to install global keydown/up handlers that swallow all key events. And it also disables the browser's context menu.

I prefer to use a language's convention, whatever that might be. The language's standard library will expose names using the language's convention, and using a different convention for my own code's names would make for strange and confusing looking code.

Clicking on a step does nothing

I found the same thing. For example, if you're currently at step 2 and click on step 6 in the list nothing happens. I would expect it to jump immediately to step 6.

I've tried in both Firefox and Chrome (on Fedora 39 with sway window manager).

Walter Bright's Zortech C (née Zorland C) is another one. It was the first C compiler that I used.

The article explains the choice of 60 bits, which was indeed because of the many factors of 60.

"60 is a multiple of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Hence bytes of length from 1 to 6 bits can be packed efficiently into a 60-bit word without having to split a byte between one word and the next. If longer bytes were needed, 60 bits would, of course, no longer be ideal. With present applications, 1, 4, and 6 bits are the really important cases."
