A game of Go can be legally infinite due to recaptures. (player passes 360 times, then eats the entire board and it starts over).

It's also a natural infinite game due to Kos which can be the best move to play. This requires a set of extra rules to prevent. (Ko, superKo, triple kos, etc)

Use practice mode so you don't have the competing cursor!

Will look into the singlequotes issue!

Yes, but at the same time in a technical interview you don't control the IDE and you need to type it out. I.e. google interviews on a google doc.

This is why I built wpm.silver.dev.

Theres no tolerance for typos on code and way more special characters than MonkeyType.

120 on monkeytype can be 50 on wpm

There's something about some of the 80's and 90's games that showed exceptional love and art from the game makers.

I bought my 5-yo daughter an arcade for her birthday and we have been playing Bobble Bubble non-stop for months, finally beating the game with a single credit!

As we played the game, we discovered new patterns, tricks and pathways to beat impossibly-looking levels safely, and we discovered portals, bonuses and secrets galore. We also got to know each other better, as we play together better than we would play with other people.

The game pushes you constantly between competing to get power-ups and extra-lifes to collaborating to beat asymmetric levels.

There is one power-up that turns the level into a bonus where you have a score board and whoever gets the most bonus items wins extra points. But if you do even scoring, you both get the max bonus. The game is testing you!

It is when you beat the game at the end that the secret of the universe is revealed: Love & Friendship.

I pay taxes in the US and I am not allowed to vote, so the phrase applies specially to me and 25% of the California population.

The one redeeming quality of crypto is that you can only lose your holdings if you give them to someone else.
