A couple years ago, I wrote some js to sort a 5 letter word file. The value for a word was based on letter frequency in each letter location. Then I took the words that didn't have repeating letters. The I choose a word at the top that I liked and grep'd for some other words to use for the 2nd and 3rd try. In 3 tries, you have used over half the alphabet and all vowels. This usually lets me get the word by the 4th try. Here are some word sets you can start with.

- pares, moity, bundh|bunch - pares, monty, build|guild - pares, doily, bunch|munch

- pores, banty, guild|mucid - pores, canty, build|guild - pores, manty, build|guild

- bares, ponty, guild|mucid - bares, moity, punch|dunch - bares, monty, guild|child

- cares, ponty, build|guild - cares, moity, bundh|gulph - cares, monty, build|guild

Which company? The lifestyle/youtube/clothing company or the company that acquire them and a lot of other automotive companies? Seems like they over expanded.

The machine it sells to McDonald franchisee are crap. They make other ice cream machines for other franchises and they don't seem to have the same repair issues.

The other question is how many terrorist did we create from drone strikes?

Go with the "Laravel from Scratch" on v8 to learn the basics. Then follow up with the "What's new in Laravel 9". I'll be updating to v9 this spring. Laravel has been pretty stable since they changed to semver for versioning (ie v6). The framework is fairly stable. They held off the v9 release so it could have the new Symphony components. A lot of features that would have been released with v9 were added to the v8 framework. v9 may have some breaking changes, but I'd have to really dig through the release notes to find what would affect my app.

I'm more concerned with updating PHP from 7.4.x to 8.x then the framework update. Our test env had issue with one of our blade templates when running under 8.x.

Yep -- I am more worried about the PHP side because there you run into the question of whether other PHP devs whose packages you use are as good as the Laravel guys.

Yes, the "Massive ~2.3k Patch Series" in the article title give a better idea about this patch vs "2.3K Patch" HN title.

In relation to the article, it seems like Ingo Molnar did everyone a favor by doing some low level code clean up. I hope this gets tested and accepted.

Yeah, it's hard to imagine spending 2 straight years untangling the Gordian Knot even this far. What an amazing feat by Ingo.

I believe a lot of the sex workers expected this to happen at some point. Tumblr burned them when they got bought. So they might have some diversification, but their main focus has been OnlyFans. That was the platform that gave the best ROI.

The gold really lets you hear how much over the kill can be.

I get that IPAs and neIPAs will dominate the taps at my local breweries, but kinda disappointed I haven't seen any Maibocks on tap this spring.

I heartily recommend taking up homebrewing. You can produce your own gallon-sized batch of Maibock!

Homebrewing - the most expensive way to enjoy free beer.

Gallon… or five
