David Madore proposes three criteria for which elements really exist as chemical elements. I try to evaluate them for all elements.
I made this while sick as a dog, so there's probably mistakes.
Sources for all elements:
Sources for individual elements are listed in the table.

Inform seems rather lacking in string manipulation utilities: There doesn't seem to be any way to slice a string, nor any way to change one in place except by match replacement.
As a result, it's unclear what the best way to truncate a string is. This story file is a simple benchmark for 6 different methods:
This example coding interview asks:
On a phone keypad, each letter corresponds to a digit.
This means that phone numbers can contain English words, e.g. 1-(800)-356-9377 contains flowers.
Given a phone number, and a list of words, return the words contained in the phone number.
For no reason I can fathom, the French government publishes daily COVID-19 cases and deaths as an infographic, with no text version. There are also no archives: only the latest update is available.
Recovery statistics are published on a different source, which has a (somewhat wonky) API and data for each day.
This is a quick and (very) dirty script to scrape the latest statistics off these two sites.
