But that does not describe Musk's politics.

And more importantly his core customer base hates his chosen politics.

Calling python and Django trendy in 2025 seems a bit misplaced. Maybe 15 years ago they were.

I don't think the blog post was written for Hacker News.

My solution in these cases was to build prototype sites that sync in real time from the figma file. So the designer can see how their work actually looks, and treat the figma view as just a low fidelity preview.

Could you point to any resources on how to achieve this? At work we're increasing our Figma usage, and this approach sounds like something better implemented sooner than later

Here's a tool I made.

Stamen! One of the OGs at this point.

This is the way to go. Designers should sign off on products, not mockups.

Nice!

A few issues on Firefox android:

- keyboard closes after adding each letter so it's a clunky experience

- couldn't delete a letter

- it let me add two letters into the last box of one word

The rules are a bit unintuitive. Definitely surprising that horizontal words don't have to be words.

Also for me a timer is a turn off. Feels unnecessary.

Thanks for the feedback.

> The rules are a bit unintuitive. Definitely surprising that horizontal words don't have to be words.

You are not the first person to say this, and I am starting to agree. I think that more basic ruleset is more fun and far more intuitive. Especially given the current UI layout. I am going to spin up a new version with that ruleset I think.

Thanks!

Also, the rule that you can't repeat a letter for a position with the horizontal word, or two immediate neighbours is just too...finnicky and arbitrary.

Agreed. I actually added the crossword version here https://wordpivot.com/crossword/ but it is FAR harder than I thought. I'm still play testing it.

Also, writing a solver for these things is also surprisingly difficult, but fun!

That actually sounds really nice.

> Over the next year, our group chat (in Signal) was drowning in notifications. A mix of general chit chat, talks on the ever changing news of COVID and the most important - when can people play games and chat. It really annoyed me when people would post on "hey anyone wanna play [game] in 15 mins?", for it to be buried in another 5 messages.

My friend group's solution to this problem is...lots of different group chats. They're all on Google Chat, but we have tons of different ones for different topics: bikes, space, covid/infectious diseases, baking, craft, plants, wildlife, true crime, politics, depressing news, renewables/sustainability, tech geekery, board games, home improvement...

I do miss video chat nights during lockdown though.

That isn't the title either: the title is “Creating fair dice from random objects”, while what they are responding to may be something like “Creating fair coins from biased coins”. So they're only responding to the “Creating fair _ from _” part of the title. Responding to three out of six words in the title isn't bad I guess.

> and this trivially extends to constructing a fair N-sided die out of any arbitrarily biased die for any N

They wrote something interesting, even if it only tangentially matches the topic.

Pointing out that it doesn't exactly match the topic also adds to the conversation, I guess, but I think we've now exhausted any interest (so I won't be arguing further).

That's cute. intuitively, if two flips give different outcomes, it's fifty/fifty which would be first.

But also, you might have to flip the coin an arbitrarily large number of times before you get a "heads tails" or "tails heads" roll (if I can arbitrarily pick how biased the coin is).

The opening scene of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" springs to mind.

And that coin wasn't even biased... although Tom Stoppard was a confounding factor.

You are assuming an unbiased coin.

Imagine I glue a poker chip to a washer. There's a clear bias in the outcome of this "coin".

This method resolves that bias.

I understood perfectly already.

Also he says he was 70 on 2020 before embarking on some of those big projects. I hope I'm half as active then.
