However it was written, it’s a useful and well structured article. I thought it was a good read

Haha, was a great read, loved the picture of the dog at the keyboard!

Cool story! The domain name is quite cool as well, happy that some people still hold onto their silly whims instead of cashing out

Looks super useful! Especially on older macs where space tends to be a limiting issue

On: Advent of Code 2025: Number of puzzles reduce from 25 to 12 for the first time

I've participated in the past, and felt like I always drop off around day 18+ because of holidays etc.

I personally also didn't like when part II of a question felt like a completely new question, instead of a neat extension of the previous one.

I am very happy that this is something that's available to do, for free though. I see advent of code as a good excuse to dabble with a new language, usually with a few people from work.

Igen!

On: They Travel the World–and Cheat Death–For License Plates

[aronhegedus]

I’m not as extreme, but I “collect” license plates by taking pictures. Whenever I see 3+ numbers or letters, and I’m walking, I take a picture

Obviously there’s custom license plates that are cheating (I found a Porsche with just the number 1), but fun to see anyway.

It makes walking more fun because you’re spotting stuff all the time!

The other day I snapped a pic of a Fisker Ocean TLC cab with four in a row 6's on the plate (Belt Parkway in Queens, NYC.) Talk about a unique combo.

Can you be more precise? Maybe give me a regex for the pattern? Almost every single license plate I see has 3 or more digits or letters.

[sunnybeetroot → xhkkffbf]

Yeah for sure, here is the regex `^[a-zA-Z0-9]{3,}$`

I randomly got 4 line pieces at the start, thought this was going to be a line piece only Tetris variant :D

Recommend this to people that are curious and have time!! I really enjoyed doing it years ago

On: My son (9 yrs old) used plain JavaScript to make a game, and wants your feedback

[aronhegedus]

Awesome! Really liked the animations!! The charged stuff confused me a bit. I played on mobile so the popup is different from the desktop one, maybe a testing area.

Perhaps consider having the HP as HP bars, as other games do!

Well done

[veesahni → aronhegedus]

HP bars on his plan for the next version.

He was working on it the other actually!

Thanks for checking out the game. Appreciate the feedback!
