The New York Times Mini Crossword Now Has a Paywall, but There Is a Way to Play

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-28 15:45:03

I'm a fan of the New York Times Mini Crossword -- a sporty, streamlined companion to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword. Typically, the Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) has roughly a dozen clues to work through -- six across-clues and six down-clues -- and you can complete it in less than a minute if all goes well. It makes me feel smart, unlike the big crossword, which sometimes makes me throw things. But in late August, some Mini Crossword players suddenly ran int

How the tz database works (2020)

2020-11-08 The other day I ran into this timezone issue in Ruby, and that’s when I discovered the tz database for the first time. There were almost no blog posts explaining how it works, so I decided to write one myself. We’ll be using the alpine:3.12 Docker image to test things out. What is it? The tz database is a standardized collection of timezone data and rules used by most systems worldwide to handle timezone conversions. Here are the official documentation and the source code on GitH

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time?

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time? Make your time count. Published: 04 June 2023 Productivity Tim Urban has a good article describing how we have 100 10-minute "blocks" per day when we aren't sleeping. It's a great article, but I want to reframe it a little. I just filled out his graph for my weekdays: 8 hours doing school, 2 hours of eating, 50m each of commute & self-care. So after a typical weekday I only have 30 blocks = 300 minutes left of discretionary time

DOOMscrolling: The Game

We’re all familiar with doomscrolling, spending too much time scrolling endless feeds of content that make you feel bad about everything. But sometimes when I hear the word “doomscrolling” it makes me think of two other things: the classic video game Doom and, well, scrolling. That got me wondering if I could make a Doom-inspired game in a web browser where the only thing you do to play is scroll. No moving your character laterally, no jumping. Just scrolling. So I made it. And it’s fun! Here
