So cool. Is it still going on? Would love if it someone livestreamed the competitions


Not going to lie the first thing I thought was, "Why is the John Green book on HN??" I mean, cool, but surprising. Then I read the end and it made more sense ha


Honestly this seems like a good experiment. I am always looking at my phone, but I’m at a very different stage in life than the students at school. With a Nokia phone, it’s not like they wouldn’t be able to communicate with one another or with their parents.

I do worry that it might make it harder for students that struggle finding a group of peers at school and find community online.


Eton College is probably the most famous school in the world. It's called 'the nursemaid of British statesmen' due to its propensity to churn out future prime ministers. The Conservative Party seems to regard an Old Etonian tie as the only qualification needed for appointment as a Minister of the Crown.

Eton is a Full Boarding school: attending as a Day Boy is not an option. The boys don't just attend classes together; they live together in the boarding houses too.

After classes end for the day, the boys have a mind-boggling array of extracurricular activities. The school has its own golf course and rowing lake. There are so many activities on offer that some don't finish until 10pm.

Any boy who can't find a friend in that environment isn't going to get through the admissions process.


As someone who hoards my own old USBs and hard drives, which I don’t think hold anything particularly interesting, this idea was violent at first. But yeah, I get it lol


Interesting considering that Google said it had a strategy that would ensure AI consumed less power. It was based on the 4Ms: model, machine, mechanization, and mapping.

Never thought about how all the browsers out there are forks of Google. Excited to see what Ladybird does in the future


I loved how you used your skills to address a ~seemingly~ simple problem. The explanation was also cool


Had a great time with this! Great break to get my mental gears moving


I have to admit I did not know where it was going at first but was thoroughly delighted once it finished stacking up haha


This is awesome! I just played for a while. This may be a dumb question but... how do you win? Please forgive my frazzled brain if I missed the instructions somewhere.


At start, at least the 4 corner is in the right place: they have a black dot in the center of their square. Goal is to have all squares with a black dot in the center.


Nice! I'll give it another shot! :)
