Yeah, that would be a real scummy thing to do!

They’re talking about the judges on the Sony/Betamax case, not the new one.

Complete waste for anything math related for me. Did act as a proper gateway into coding though!


I distinctly remember writing a minesweeper game, using the built-in programming language. Not the fast compiled one you needed a cable to transfer! Just button presses.


Same for me. Felt like a superpower.


It doesn't say longest either.


... fair point.


Isn't the point of homophones that they sound like the equivalent word, thus gory, grim, grisly, scary?


I think the confusion is about what "Gorey, Grimm, Scarry" mean. They, along with "Silverstein" in that game, are last names of children's authors.


And that would be OK as a clue if Silverstein was a red herring, Grizzly was also a children's author and Scarry sounded like scary (and also meant something in the same ballpark as Gory, Grim, and Grisly)


Richard Scarry's surname is indeed pronounced "scary," rather than (as I assumed for many years) "scarr-ry."

That is, it rhymes with Harry, Larry, carry, parry, tarry, and marry, rather than... uh, starry, I guess?


Where I come from, Scarry rhymes with Harry, but Harry does not rhyme with scary.

  Harry does not rhyme with hairy
  Scarry does not rhyme with scary
  Marry does not rhyme with Mary. Nor with merry!
You can probably triangulate my childhood home with that information. :)


How many memecoins can get pumped and dumped?


It looks great but I can't imagine I'll be up to the cleaning protocol.

For outdoor use, I've had some decent success with the app Vivid which hijacks various MacOS abilities to superbrighten your display: https://www.getvivid.app/


Yes, the HDR boost is awesome as well, combined with nano texture it feels like overkill, but I love it.


Great work! I’d love to see a proper BTS or case study.


I do believe a BTS is being developed.


Stay tuned


Shameful.


Better than or more cheaply.
