Isn’t every video game just moving colourful blocks?

(Except Quake obviously)

I'm not sure that this link really helps your case, given these key points from the description:

The resolution by the British representative, Ambassador Sir Anthony Parsons

demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities between Argentina and the United Kingdom and a complete withdrawal by Argentine forces

Resolution 502 was in the United Kingdom's favour by giving it the option to invoke Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and to claim the right of self-defence

That’s such a great description of this kind of tech-bro behaviour.

Yes, when I did a search, I found I had a choice between two quite small and inactive communities, so I went for the slightly larger one. I'll crosspost today's post to that community see if it stirs up any more interest.

 

Hi all,

As many people here may already know, Advent of Code is an annual programming challenge that runs from 1st to 25th December each year where each day a new puzzle is published for you to solve. The puzzles ramp up in difficulty during the month and can test your familiarity with core computer science principles and algorithms.

As the title says, I'm currently going through my entries (written in Dart) to last year's challenge and rewriting them to run in your browser using DartPad. I'll be posting one a day until 25th November to the Advent of Code community on lemmy.world.

It's fairly quiet there at the moment, but I hope that with enough awareness of the community, it will liven up enough over the coming weeks that I don't have to go back to the other place for interesting discussions and hints next month!

Cheers, Michael

Oof. I got about 65% on the images I hadn’t seen in the post. I must be pretty close to being replaceable by an adversarial network.

Need more info

From reviewing the code it removes the transition animation when you click on an image to view it full screen (saving you 0.2 of a second). I think it was added when that animation wasn’t working correctly. Maybe it’s time to repurpose it now we’re actually seeing gifs being used a little more…

Yes, it’s still going through Apple’s review process unfortunately…

You should see previews in more posts in 0.10.10. If you reply with any examples that still aren’t working for you, we can have a look.

It basically asks each instance for its “all” feed (or wherever) and passes the combined contents into your chosen sorting algorithm. In 0.10.10 we do a better job of spotting and removing duplicates.

I’ll be amazed if this even works.

 
 

This happens for me on a small number of posts, and is generally repeatable, even when the website shows comments.

For instance, running on lemmy.world, GetPost(id: 290602) tells me the post exists and has 7 comments, as does https://lemmy.world/post/290602

But GetComments(postId: 290602) returns an empty list.

If I run against the original post on 'programming.dev', GetComments(postId: 99912) does show me the comments, but I don't think I'm supposed to be second guessing the federating logic :-)

Has anyone seen anything similar or can confirm they see this same behaviour for this post?

 

It's about 10 cm (4") long. Metal and plastic.

~~Hopefully this will stump people a little longer than the other challenges have managed.~~ What a naive fool I was! < 1 minute again...

If you do find the answer using Google Lens, hold onto it for a while to see if unaugmented humans can work it out :-)

Please add spoiler tags to any guesses to add to the element of suspense.

 

Sorry for the quality of the pic. Beer had been taken.

 

Morning UKCasual,

Have you found something puzzling at the back of the shed, or uncovered an oddity in the messy drawer? Would you like some help working out what it is? Come on over and let us have a puzzle over it in What is this thing?.

Alternatively, if you've got an odd item from your hobby that you think will stump us, why not make a CHALLENGE post and see how we do.

It's still a small (but growing!) community, but it's already getting answers faster than I thought possible.

Cheers all!

What is this thing? (lemmy.world)

Got a thing? Want to know what it is? Ask the massed minds of "What is this thing?" for help!

Currently in Challenge mode, so if you've got something you think will stump us, post it as a CHALLENGE.

 

Just while the sub (group? community?) finds its feet, I thought it would be fun to post a few challenges. I'll be searching through my house for obscure objects, to see how obvious they really are...

So, what is this thing? Springy metal, about 5cm across, with rubbery sleeves on the two arms.

 

A local farmer pens their sheep up at various points along the meadows by the river over the summer, and yesterday they were enjoying having some access to the beach for a change.

 

I've been awarded gold over the years for various stupid comments, and I've never been able to keep up with spending it. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do with it (before I shred my account this month) that will hasten Reddit's demise.
