Hurdle hints and answers for November 8, 2026

November 8, 2026 brings another round of the word game Hurdle to your daily routine. Comprising five rounds, the game challenges players to guess the hidden word in each hurdle. The first hurdle allows you to guess the word directly, with feedback on correctly, misplaced, and incorrect letters. If you succeed, the answer to the previous hurdle becomes your starting point for the next one, offering varying levels of guidance.

For the final hurdle, a special feature reveals all previously correct answers, clearly indicating whether each letter is correctly placed or misplaced. It's crucial to note that the number of times a letter is highlighted doesn't reflect its frequency in the final word.

If you find yourself stuck at any point, fret not. Hurdle offers helpful hints to guide you through. Here are the hints and answers for today's game:

1. Hurdle Word 1: The globe. Answer: EARTH

2. Hurdle Word 2: Foamy. Answer: SOAPY

3. Hurdle Word 3: Crazy. Answer: MANIC

4. Hurdle Word 4: Cooktop. Answer: STOVE

Inode Exhaustion: The Disk Full Error That Makes No Sense

You run df -h and the root partition shows 85% used. Plenty of space left, right? Then you try to create a new file and get: No space left on device . You check again. You reboot.

  • Inode exhaustion occurs when lack of available inodes, not disk space, causes disk to appear full.
  • Tiny files like npm installs and log rotation contribute significantly to inode exhaustion.
  • Prevention includes proper logrotate configuration and monitoring inode levels with cron jobs.

Turning a video clip into a game sprite sheet in the browser

I make 2D characters by generating a short animation video and cutting it into a sprite sheet. For a while that meant ffmpeg, a Python script and a lot of fiddling with transparency.

  • Extract frames by manipulating video element's currentTime property and waiting for seeked event.
  • Identify backdrop color using corners of each frame for background removal.
  • Implement process with plain JavaScript, no external dependencies, returning array of frame data.
