Love to hear that supporting my friends is political and therefore bad. gently caress ESA. Trans rights.

the gall to have a harry potter block makes it pretty clear that they're not even trying to pretend to have a neutral stance about it. gently caress em

well the point being that the whole franchise is colored by jkr being a transphobe at this point so they're making their stance pretty clear imo

It's the ableism for sure, possibly along with the general shittiness of its humour by modern standards.Max Peck posted:Frog Fractions does the bug porn lemonade stand bit at the end complete with sound effects and the pixelated 'actual' bug porn during the credits; I don't think it's a game anyone's upset at but it does kind of take a hard swerve to being inappropriate for GDQ right at the end Apparently this is because of a hotfix run of it the other day, which led the games committee to find out about the bug porn stuff

Jesus loving christ that's so loving stupid, might as well just ban trans people from the event and change the charity to the LGB alliance, fuckin assholes. GDQ should have a Harry Potter block and ONLY read trans rights/JKR sucks donations and just clown on her and the series during the whole thing.

i think a couple of the furry message board posts also include stuff about gender iirc? like 'i am a man but in my heart i am a female wolf' or w/e its been ages but i remember something like that. tho yeah its weird to conflate furry and trans without elaborating Endorph fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Feb 19, 2023 |

ultimately shut up and jam gaiden has a few Spicy bits in it that i doubt several major charity organizations would wanna be publicly associated with so it makes sense that its not allowed and theres no real point trying to guesstimate which one specifically we should publicly condemn

Have they settled on a venue for SGDQ23? I have no idea how these things are planned i just think someone said they announced it was a combo in person / online. I could be wildly mistaken ZeusCannon fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Feb 23, 2023 |

For the few of you for whom this is your cup of tea, the submission info/explanation for this Sudoku TAS is fascinating: https://tasvideos.org/8015S

…now I want to run a student project to improve that TAS to the theoretical minimum. (It’s metric TSP on a subgraph of a 9x9 grid, no way in hell is the standard exponential-time TSP algorithm optimal - at the very least you should be able to do something with treewidth!)

My first thought is to convert the grid into a bunch of weights of the frame cost to go between each cell, since you know what digit you'd be on from that cell and what digit you'd need to go to for the next cell, so you know exactly how many frames it's going to take. Then you just run some weighted pathfinding algorithm to find the fastest route through the board.

Oh, that’s what they do - the problem is that finding the fastest route through the board while visiting every cell is the travelling salesman problem rather than a standard pathfinding problem, so there’s no fast general algorithm unless P = NP and they use an approximation instead. My hunch is that in this specific case you can do an exact solution significantly faster than the best general-purpose TSP algorithm, though.

The easiest way to solve it is to wait until technology sufficiently advances and makes traveling salesmen obsolete.

Their implementation appears to be pure python, there's no way it can't be sped up an awful lot by going to a more appropriate language.

You can use Cython to embed C into Python, and a lot of the big libraries like numpy do… but writing well-optimised numpy code is an absolute fucker, so yeah they could probably have saved a factor of 50 or so. Their poor computer died in vain.

Endorph posted:frankly i dont care about a harry potter block but doing that + not letting people even do a 'trans rights' donation is lol Right???? Like doing a Harry Potter segment is pretty touchy right now but I think you could pull it off and maybe even do it really well, in a way that only bolsters one's image and serves as a message of support for the trans community. Instead, they decided to mandate that everyone literally has to pretend trans people don't exist so nobody has to feel bad or think at all about wizard games. Possibly the worst possible course of action.

That is in fact, the point.
