I think the number of moves isn’t the key stat here, just the number of tries to complete in that many moves.

I do wonder what the minimum required moves to complete a level is, but it seems it would be at least close to 11. How many moves did it take you?

App looks amazing, I didn't know I wanted this but can see myself using it a ton now that I do.

By the way, you may be aware but there's a typo in the iOS app in the "Your Words" tab when your list is empty.

I do most of my browsing on my desktop. On mobile, it's usually really light stuff like searching up a restaurant or store, reading HN or some other silly little thing. Occasionally I see ads which are annoying, but most of these things don't have many ads anyways, so its not a big deal.

I really wonder what the future of browsers looks like. Personally, I prefer my apps to be fairly simple, but it feels like every browser is constantly adding new features to try and stand out somehow. All really I want is a way to browse the web, use some extensions, and maybe do some dev work. Feature bloat is really starting to annoy me, and I wish there was just more focus on things like performance/security updates, or additions to the engine for supporting new technologies.

That comparison is between early 2019 and summer 2022. The page mentions usage drops in the summer, and comparing July 2019 to July 2022 is quite close. However, the charts show United States usage has dropped much more significantly.

This definitely seems like a decent explanation in my opinion. Sure Firefox is available on mobile, but on iPhone there's not much point to it since its WebKit anyways, and Androids have Chrome on them by default, which most people are already comfortable with.

I feel like I care more about my browsing experience on my desktop than I do on my phone, and I would guess that's a fairly popular opinion, so on mobile I usually use the default, but on desktop use Firefox.

Anecdotally, this also seems like a good strategy for dating. Being up-front and clear about your intentions rather than beating around the bush, frequent shameless flirting, and complete honesty about who you are make for a good recipe. If the person suits you it accelerates things, and if you're not compatible you can move on quickly.

I haven't seen it having a "flare" effect like the article mentions, but could see it working that way in the right circumstances.

Its really incredible the ways in which living in a walkable neighbourhood can improve your life. More activity from walking around, less pollution, better views etc.

One thing I’ve noticed is I tend to see small businesses in walkable areas more often. Not sure why that is, but its another benefit I haven’t seen discussed quite as much.

I don't think anyone is advocating for only apartments and condos. If you have a family, can afford a car, and are willing to make compromises to be in a single-family home, that should absolutely be an option.

Adding multi-family homes just adds a new, cheaper option that increases density. There are lots of benefits to it, and its really reductive to say "The 'missing middle' is bad because I wouldn't want to live like that".

There are lots of comments here talking about how living in a single-family home is nicer than a condo, and while I generally agree, it doesn't mean we shouldn't build apartments and condos. A variety of options is good and people look for different things in a living space.

If I was forced to pick between walkable + apartment or house + long commute to anything, I'd do the apartment every single time. Especially since it would likely be cheaper.

One thing I wish was brought up more is the missing middle [1]. Having denser neighbourhoods is good for a ton of reasons, and having more available housing units would be super helpful for this. Of course, zoning laws restrict this heavily, and car dependent infrastructure also encourages single-family homes with space for multiple vehicles easily accessible in a driveway/garage.

Obviously this wouldn't be a silver bullet, but I really wish North American urban planning would allow for more freedom in housing structures, and put more emphasis on public transportation. Hard to have faith though.

I feel this is a common trend for any social media. I feel similarly as you regarding how Reddit has changed, and while some of that was due to changes to the website, I'd attribute most of it to an increase in overall popularity. Reddit used to be a collection of fairly niche forums, but has really ballooned into almost Facebook levels of social media. It seems like that's just how the internet works, and eventually new, more niche places for people to discuss will pop up and the cycle will continue.

There probably aren't fewer smart/interesting people on HN than there used to be, but its possible they're just less likely to be seen often or voted to the top.

Of course I say all this as someone who started spending time here relatively recently, so its pure speculation on my part.

This is great for finding rabbit holes to fall into. The Kallikak family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kallikak_Family is one of the first.

I do wonder what articles some of these were meant for, and why Wikipedia keeps 5000 images that aren’t in use available for viewing.

Neat article, might try this soon. I’d say my greatest takeaway though was just learning about LCH colour definitions, can’t believe I hadn’t heard of then before. Really hope that its broadly supported soon (also interesting Safari was an early adopter… wonder why that is).
