Yes, exactly. Here’s what BibleGateway says about it: https://support.biblegateway.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001403...

Shouldn’t the demo quote link to https://sometimesright.com/2020/04/25/blogging-vs-twitter/ ? (instead of the homepage)

agreed. Just one example of a unicorn would strengthen the case for this metric.

Are you able to give further examples of projects like Hypothesis failing? I’m not sure I’m quite ready to conclude this _can’t_ work without a centralized interface.

In any case, though, it would probably be straightforward to add a centralised top stories page while keeping comments inline.

@giacecco does something similar, but as a freelance data scientist, each of his business cards shows some graphic of a project he has worked on. He asks people to pick a card, then he tells them about the project they chose. Works really well

dangerous.com appears to be a saucy outfits retailer. Irrespective of the name, piping the html to sh is probably fine.

This would be a cool one to port to Scratch and add to the Code Club syllabus: http://projects.codeclub.org.uk I would guess it’s pretty doable in Scratch.
I’m afraid I find it thoroughly unpleasant :(

I think this should be between 0 and 100 (for the Nash equilibrium to work, anyway.)

you can close the bracket and inject some more commands… although you don’t have many characters in which to do it.
I made the robot follow a cosine curve. Cute but ridiculous solution.
I actually found the “Highlight this” example at the top a bit confusing. Could you write “Display this” instead? Or give a better example to demonstrate conditionals?
Re:Speech accent archive (English) on Friday January 10, 2014 @07:47AM (#7036324)
The samples presented aren’t always representative of the accents of the region. For instance, english57 is much closer to a ‘typical’ Birmingham/midlands accent than english2.

Awesome archive all the same!
