I collect and maintain a list of examples like this. Usually stuff I see somewhere else or random ones that pop into my head.

My favorite simple one: "Unlike whiskey, you can't water water down."

My favorite long one: "I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign"

VIIJuneVShell65$bw6n6aboutHecroatia0000 so far. Croatia was extraordinarily hard to guess. Currently stuck on the chess game, if anyone has generic advice on how to not suck at chess.

Fun bonus: it can't seem to figure out what's going on with the knight. Using "K", "N", or "S" for knight all get me "invalid notation" warnings. I'm having a lot of fun.

New update: got the chess answer! It will accept "N" for my Knight iff I make stupid moves with it. Moving my knight to take a bishop is "invalid notation", but apparently putting it in the middle of nowhere to be captured by a rook is the best possible move.

Final update: Paul died in a fire. :I

oh man I got really lucky and was prompted with a picture of Italy. I got it right on my first try. I didn't realize the country images rotated!

I'm stuck at "iatetomatoesyesterday0265Z#521juneVpepsiVIIxngxcaboutAg[moon emojis]italy2020Bf7+" trying to solve the chess notation puzzle.

I especially laughed at the rule "must include today's Worldle" and I'm happy with my solution including every emoji for "must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji."

(HackerNews doesn't seem to display emoji. My solution is to paste every moon phase emoji.)

Excited to see what's next after figuring out the best move in this Chess puzzle.

This reminds me of trying to manually construct an Autogram like below. This one is a quote someone else made. I tried to do it myself and it is so hard because the counts keep changing as you write out other counts!

Only the fool would take trouble to verify that his sentence was composed of ten a's, three b's, four c's, four d's, forty-six e's, sixteen f's, four g's, thirteen h's, fifteen i's, two k's, nine l's, four m's, twenty-five n's, twenty-four o's, five p's, sixteen r's, forty-one s's, thirty-seven t's, ten u's, eight v's, eight w's, four x's, eleven y's, twenty-seven commas, twenty-three apostrophes, seven hyphens and, last but not least, a single !

I like the one called "The Hobgoblin." The student asks "why don't all these commands follow the same pattern?"

It doesn't make sense to my why the three "view" commands have different nomenclatures, but it /sort of/ makes sense that the two destructive ones have different syntaxes. It would hurt to think you're deleting a remote reference and accidentally deleting a local branch.

What's the point of the Master throwing himself off the railing when the novice runs `git -h branch`?

I'm running it and git responds "unknown option: -h" then displays a short version of the help menu. Maybe it is a joke on showing the short help menu even when using incorrect syntax?

Consider me absolutely plussed.

This reminds me of hanging out with friends when someone wondered, "what is the opposite of nonchalant? Is 'chalant' its own thing?!"

98point6 | Backend Engineer, Data Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Security Engineer, VP Engineering | Seattle, WA | Full-time | https://98point6.com/careers#open-roles

Hi, I’m Thomas and I’m Director of Engineering at 98point6. We’re hiring for a number of roles, like VP Engineering, Backend Engineer, Data Engineer, DevOps Engineer, and Security Engineer. Our goal is to make access to primary care as easy as googling something, without needing to make a financial tradeoff. We were seeing exciting growth before COVID-19 and that growth has accelerated even more as we help support the response to this global pandemic in the US. Some quick mentions of the technology we’re using: all our infra is in AWS, IaC using CDK (and some Terraform), Typescript, Kotlin, DynamoDB, and PostgreSQL. We are usually ONSITE in the office. During COVID-19, we are fully remote. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello! I'm Steve Geluso. I'm in Seattle looking for work. The health industry has been on my eye for a second. I've spent the last three years as a lead instructor at boot camp schools. I was full time at Google, I freelanced, and I worked here in Seattle at Moby Inc. all before doing education. I'm definitely looking to get back in to engineering, especially with a company that has practical impact.

I'll apply on the site, and here's some more info about me, if you're interested. Thanks for raising attention to the role!
