> [1, 2, 3] + [4, 5, 6] == "1, 2, 34, 5, 6" Well, `+` is a string operator. There's no infix array concatenation operator, so makes sense. > parseInt(0.000001) == 0 > parseInt(0.0000001) == 1 Never knew about this on

I clicked on half a dozen of these at random and none of them are weird. For example, why would you expect `Boolean("false")` to equal `false`? It's a string, and bears no relation to the Boolean type. [0] [0] https:/&#

Funny, I'd actually noticed that this font was knocking around in various places, particularly in American media, without giving it too much conscious thought. Although I had decided that I liked it. It's very 60s, mechanical, tac

I think my ad blocker was the problem. Disabling it didn't turn it into the fastest website in the world—the images loaded in about 15 seconds—but that was a lot better than the never loading I was getting before disabling it.

No worries, I appreciate the effort. I did go back and listen and they are indeed pronouncing sheí in the audio too. I use a firefox extension to convert simplified to traditional, looks like it's open source so that may be of some use

Is it possible to add traditional characters for mandarin? Also the pinyin for 誰/谁 is coming through as shuí, whilst this character has two pronounciations, I believe shéi is the more common one.

Presumably it's a random batch of words since you can run the test again. I wonder how much the word selection affects the outcome. I got 66,750 with 20/20/15/17/14. I'm curious how the difficult is chosen beca

Fun fact: octopus does not come from Latin, which would give the plural an -i ending. It comes from Greek, which means that if you want to be particularly correct about your plurals, then the plural is octopodes.

Such an interesting artefact just sat under some guy's barn... can't help but wonder how many more items like this there are out there, and how many of them we'll never find before they're accidentally destroyed.

What makes a motherboard a NAS motherboard, precisely? I've got a decent Mini-ITX sitting around and I've been contemplating setting up/getting a NAS. Would be nice if I could re-use what I already have and save some money.

Very interesting. Almost feels like a cosmic implementation of "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

I have pages of notes for a game like this that I've been thinking about since university, largely inspired by Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse. This game reminded me of it too, maybe I'll get to it one day.
