Lol. Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
These "shorts" show up for people flipping through video after video on
their phones,
completely out of context, and the advice I keep hearing is to make them
really fast
paced and visually interesting to maintain retention.
Replacing my talking head with a text transcription might make sense for
watching in
a noisy environment. Or maybe just use fewer lines with more comments
on-screen.
@Joe: I guess that particular example is kind of silly, but the idea would
be something like having
a table of all the eleven-letter english words, one character per row, one
column per word. then:
select nearsighted_letters from eleven_letter_words where
nub_sieve(mississippi_letters)=1;
I was originally going to use (~: V) # 'MISSISSIPPI' (which would give
'MISP') but
that seemed like it would be confusing in a different way. Oh well. :/
