AWS is often unnecessary but I do hope you had some kind of pre-prod environment in your original setup

What is Sorcerer here?

Thanks for this, I assumed there would be some more rigor behind this but it hardly seems credible, it relies mostly on anecdotes and "common sense".

That seems to assume that immigration and emigration is not a significant factor for your country

I would perhaps call this “build.ts” instead. Calling it “make.ts” implies Makefile-like behavior, e.g. multiple targets, dependencies, conditional builds, etc.

I know they’re just being through but the “go test” part is a bit “Pray, Mr Babbage”… Test code is just code. I know of no language where tests are sandboxed in any meaningful way.

They're sandboxed if you use bazel. Not as much as the nix people would like, but bazel tests get read-only access to the host filesystem except /tmp

Right, I should have said there are conventions and libraries you can use to limit the scope of tests but that requires intention and diligence. But fundamentally , “go tests” could run anything a normal go program can.

This certainly looks impressive but it’s a bit misleading to say it works on “almost any phone” when it doesn’t work on iPhone (which only allows mobile Safari)

I would say the Saturday puzzle is definitely harder. Sunday’s is just bigger.

100%. Every now and then they'll throw out a particularly tough Sunday, but I've yet to do a Saturday that wasn't difficult.

And if you didn't know this, Thursdays and Saturdays can have rebuses.


There are terms within the scene - tag, throwie, piece, burner - but they are not generally known by the wider public.

Neat! Unfortunately the search/informational dialog blocks almost half the screen on mobile (iOS Safari). It also gets really slow when you zoom way out (e.g. when navigating to another state)

I just improved the mobile behavior a bit. Take a look and let me know if that looks any better!

It is a bit better. The overlay is much smaller, but it would be still nice to be able to dismiss or minimize it so it’s not blocking 1/4 of the screen all the time.

It’s still get a bit clunky when you zoom out far but it’s better than before.
