> I was confused at first when I ended up in a situation with ambiguity and realized the puzzle just had multiple solutions

You're right, Kingly is the newest out of the bunch and the least satisfying to solve because of that. It's getting a big rewrite under the hood this week, so should be much more fun to play to make it more deducable and less random

I've been slowly building a website full of daily puzzle games (https://regularly.co/). I built the first game for my wife (https://regularly.co/countable) which she plays every day. Floored is my personal favourite, I find it deceptively challenging

Several of my friends and family members are playing Countable, which is completely ad-free on iOS (https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/countable-daily-numbers-game/i...) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pibbon.cou...).

Full disclosure: I developed this app during Christmas '22 with the idea of offering only one challenging new puzzle/level each day. I believe that the focus on the level of difficulty makes a huge difference.

The trap in hyperlink rich blogs is clicking every link the moment you come upon it and essentially depth first read your way through an idea.

I find the bundling of stack + startup success to be quite a peculiar sell. I wouldn't have considered the two that strongly linked - but I may not be the wrong audience for it.

Have you ever tried to print a Notion document? It feels like they made the "Export to PDF" in a weekend. It's hugely underpowered and under-featured.

It feels like Notion's demographic just dont need to share documents as documents. Notion would likely have put more effort into that feature if they did.

Was this genuinely Apple's push or is there some future regulation I don't know about forcing them to do it?

I remember reading that employment numbers is often a case big Corps make when they warrant dodging tax. “We employe X thousand people who contribute Y to the tax base so we really do pay tax”.

It gets worse when you think about how few people technology companies really employ when compared to more traditional companies (Alphabet employs 130k, Walmart 2.2 million). They have annual profits of 40billion and ~4billion (2019) respectively. It’s bonkers that employing people is a good enough reason to warrant not paying tax.

I’d imagine that some of their valuation was based on the future success of docker swarm and what they would monetise around it

nabla9's comment is in jest. It's poking fun at Apple and some of its users/practices

I realised I was slightly sensitive to lactose although I can digest some without any issues

I've become a particular fan of oat milk over the past couple of years. It's one of the more difficult milk substitutes to find in at restaurants the UK (coffee places usually fair better), almond and soy are relatively common. There are varieties that also froth up really well that barristas now use.

I'm a particular fan of the price point. Being from the UK I can assume that any almond milk I drink would be made from almonds from another country, it's same with the coconut oil I use for cooking. So I am willing to accept some price inflation in order to remove dairy. But oat milk tastes much nicer and would probably get whittled down to a generic price point that beats any other milk substitute because it can be grown locally (almost anywhere in fact) and cheaply.

You need to worry about the battery degrading at this point and what the costs to repair it would look like
