I went back to cable last year after years of Netflix/Hulu for my tv needs (there isn't a better option than Comcast for ISP and the Internet + Cable + HBO deal was more or less the same I was paying for Internet + Netflix/Hulu + TiVo), and Prime video has been a pretty adequate replacement for a lot of what I had been using Netflix to watch (which, honestly, is primarily children's programming, so your mileage may vary).

I grew up in the south where this is a pretty standard exchange at a restaurant:

"I'd like a coke." "What kind?" "Pepsi"

They kind of already do this with their pharmacies.

A hearty second to the recommendation of Perahia's Variations.

Nope, that one's taken by a new app that's disrupting the fishmonger industry.

This is long established practice in the publishing business - publications getting exclusive excerpting rights to upcoming big books. Lewis's name can help move some issues of the Times, and the exposure there helps move some books. Lewis also has a long history with the Times magazine, so it's unsurprising to see them get excerpt rights.

Also worth a read if you're a Rolling Stones fan.

Aside from the comics, no fiction. That makes me sad.

Objective-C as well.

> Writing list(, $b) = array(3,4) is not allowed. Instead use $_, i.e.: list($_, $b) = array(3, 4).

Not that I think the former is good practice at all, but isn't the latter a kind of weird use of what is a valid variable name?

There are some areas where Amazon definitely outshines Netflix, particularly children's programming, which honestly is 80% of the streaming video my family does - Amazon has all the Nickelodeon shows, which Netflix doesn't, which is a key edge for them. We recently went back to cable after cord-cutting 5 years ago, and prime video allowed me to drop Netflix and Hulu without much disruption to our viewing.

This is awesome and yet another way to kill my productivity!

I noticed something that I think is incorrect behavior based on my playing of the original. If I have a row that has 2 - 2 - 4, when I press right, it goes straight to 8, rather than the behavior that I think is supposed to happen - press right once and get 4 - 4, press it again and get 8. A minor difference but does actually change the gameplay a bit.

Looks great! One thing to consider - the Sass download button is a US Dollar sign, which initially confused me when I saw it as I wondered if there was some sort of paid feature.
