Are you planning to release any of this? Fuji cameras are so nice but need some opening up

This is the first time I've seen this mechanism described! I had to reverse engineer my oven control board because the transistor in this scheme died and after staring at the capacitor and diode for a minute it finally clicked, metaphorically, and literally, after I changed that transistor.

What's this circuit called?

I feel like HN shouldn't auto-capitalize "λ" in this instance. An anonymous function is a λ, not a Λ.

I love to see the community putting in the work to keep these old machines working with new Apple products! Just wish Apple would be willing to step up their support; I suspect most Apple customers will simply buy a new machine to ensure compatibility with their Polishing Cloth rather than tinkering with community-supported workflows.

I had forgotten that section. Time to reread, I guess!

The lake?

It is well known that forcing a sudden drop in chronically high average blood glucose (like, from 200+ to a normal ish range) with insulin can cause vision loss. I wonder if it's the same mechanism?

I read this story in 4th grade. It felt like the future. Now, it feels like most of the technology is within reach - at least, it could be built. The automated stove being the main exception.

But the most unrealistic part of this story is how all the IoT automation continues to work in the absence of the Internet.

Nothing stops embedded work faster than running out of code space on a microcontroller!

I knew it!

I refuse to believe there's not a database backup somewhere. Such careful curators would surely hate to destroy it!

More feedback:

- I was intently staring at letters and didn't notice you get a definition as a hint! Maybe the hint UI needs a tweak.

- it needs to allow permutations that are also words, or at least provide an additional reward for finding those (maybe an extra half point).

- there should be a "clear" button next to shuffle.

- there should be a "pause" button which hides everything and stops the timer. My waitress came by as I was playing and I lost.

It reminds me of Wordflower. I like this! With one caveat:

The word games that have been posted in the last few days feature a timer component, and it's game over when you miss the timer. I think they'd be more rewarding if it weren't sudden death. Instead it should just let you play through and give you a score out of 5. Especially if it is going to pick obscure words (as another commenter says - arguably one word isn't English and that feels like a bad reason to "lose").
