Most swiss I met do. It feels like a random non-educated person in the city speaks at least German and French. Any person working is services like a supermarket cashier normally speaks 3+ languages (which you know as they usually are indica

They are dialects. Swiss German isn't a language but a group of dialects, but they aren't closer to high German than Czech is to Polish. I think my point stands that it's a distinct language from the official one. It definite

In German speaking parts of Switzerland people speak Swiss German. The official and written language is high German. Although loosely related, they are two different languages.

My personal hope is that the EU would make a plan to adopt English as the only official language. Now that UK is gone it can't be seen as unfairly promoting one country. I think the example of Switzerland shows that there is no problem

From the article i understood it goes deeper. It includes all official communication like job offers - not limited to public institutions. So you could be fined for having a position for "Product Manager" or "Test Engineer&

For me writing a regex is easy only if I remember the syntax, which I never do because they differ between languages and I only need them once a month or so. For me the fastest way is to ask generator to create a valid and not necessarily

I think it started a bit earlier - already with image generation AI like dall-e.

I am personally rather against giving away solutions. The whole point is to solve the thing yourself. And as a hacker yourself you can probably write a solver if you really get frustrated and can't move forward. And as my previous comm

I think there is a difference between the pro-like competitions with high emphasis on the top competitors where high prizes make sense to attract and reward the best. At the same time at least Google Code Jam which I participated in, is an

Because people like competing. Because people like solving problems. There is often beauty in good competition problems. And you can even learn something along the way.

I have won a couple of t-shirts in Google code Jam and got to the third round once. One year I was competing from my honey moon. I was never really good but it was one of the competitions I have greatly enjoyed. Especially when one could

My understanding is the weakness comes from the fact that convolutional nn are used and how the information propagates through layers. It's been known from the beginning that this kind of position (large cyclic hroups) is a weak spot

As a go player I fully agree. I have criticized the v1 exploit few months ago as irrevant rule glitch exploit, but this is indeed relevant and beautiful real go understanding exploitation.

Hint: reduce it to level 38 :)

by kuboble 4y ago
The level 38 is my personal favorite. I have seen so many of my friends otherwise good at puzzles struggle with it. It's the first puzzle that requires two relatively non obvious tricks to solve. The first is bringing two pieces in th

The process evolved and I have eventually settled with something like this: *Step 1: Level Generation* Let's say I decide to generate 3-ball levels at 4x4 grid I do `generate_all_boards(width: 4, height: 4,max_obstacles: 6)` and it wil

Thank you! It means a lot to me

Keyboard control with optional highlight of a current piece is available at https://kuboble.com/beta/ it works with mouse or Tab for piece selection. arrows for moves, and backspace for undo

There isn't right now. It's something I will probably add now that people actually play the game
232.
by kuboble 4y ago
Yes. I'm not 100% sure it's the right thing, but I have deliberately decided against hints. If you can't solve a level there is no penalty. You can skip up to 9 skipped levels and come back later to those which you find hard.

Swapping x/y coordinates was easier than rotating. Didn't put much thought into it to be fair. But it's true that the mirror can feel like a completely different problem.

by kuboble 4y ago
Thank you. My idea is that the challenge here is not the time nor getting the puzzle right at first attempt, but as in math problems it's to find the best answer at all eventually. And if I can't solve some level I can come back t

Levels are aligned differently on horizontal / vertical screens.

Length of the solution correlates with difficulty just not perfectly. It's easy to come up with artificial boards with high move count that are easy (e.g. Hanoi towers or long winded corridors) With three pieces difficulty gets much ha

I have such a plan - but I didn't want to add thousand features in case nobody wants to play it. Right now on my todo list there are two majors 1) colorblind friendlyness 2) making the gui loop fully idle when nothing happens and I wil

Thank you! Retry is there if you click "Level" button in the top right.

it's enough to slide the ball piece_width / 2 in the direction of travel and the move will auto-complete.
