He was on Letterman in the 1980s and said his name means “black plowman”.

I thought it was good, but Joel McHale as Roy doesn’t work. Dude is too chiseled for that role, even though he does a decent job with the acting.

The domain log.io redirects to a completely different domain.

The Biblical “magi” are not the same as the “Persian clan” referenced in your source. The Biblical word is simply a generic term for “astrologers” or “magicians” but which is rooted in the Persian meaning. In fact, the singular “magus” is used in reference to a Jew who practiced some form of magic in Acts 13:6-8.

I don’t understand. You can literally just look it up in any dictionary. What exactly do you think my explanation was lacking?

As a related aside:

The word “magi” is plural for “magus” which means “astrologer”. In the Bible, God condemned all forms of astrology or similar “fortune telling” (e.g. see Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Thus, these astrologers were not some sort of God-ordained “wise men” as many believe. The “star” the astrologers initially followed was for the purpose of leading them and the child to King Herod, who planned to kill the child. God eventually intervened though to foil what was initially an evil plan.

In case it gets fixed, here's a screenshot:

And FWIW, if you put a "www" in front of the URL, the error doesn't occur.

I don’t know anything about using Elm in practice but I’ve been curating a newsletter[1] for front-end developers for almost 10 years now. I often share new scripts, plugins, and tools related to different JavaScript libraries. Over 450 issues later, I think I’ve only shared an Elm-related tool around 4 times. I don’t think Elm is dead, but it’s certainly not something I see come across the literally hundreds of sources I scour every month when curating the newsletter content.

Yeah I noticed that while refreshing because the same one came up again. Seems to go against the whole spirit of the “doesn’t exist” theme if it’s not auto generated IMO.

I got:

> SpotifAI is a system that uses deep learning to automatically create playlists from user-submitted playlists. Its algorithm has been trained on millions of playlists from Spotify.

Which is pretty cool sounding and has a cool name.

Hm, I’ve never noticed that before. I’m assuming maybe it’s your 2nd theory that this happens if you enter both a URL and text? Maybe it’s a new HN feature?

Nice. Very difficult though, even for a former Scrabble expert like me, :)

My suggestion is to not remove the letters as they’re typed. It’s very jarring and unusable that way. You should just “disable” the used ones and keep them in the same place.

Also, is there a way to remove letters from the play area after they’re used? Or start from a clean slate without refreshing the page?
