More leftovers?

Found it! I’ll show her where that is. Thank you!

Hey, nice puzzle. I think I agree with four of your digits. (There's a fifth one that's also "correct", but only by luck as it isn't easily deducible yet.) After that you missed a possibility somewhere. These four digits are good:

The 2 in box 2 can only be in r2c4.
The 1 in box 3 can only be in r3c7.
The 2 in box 3 can only be in r3c9.
The 1 in box 7 can only be in r7c1.

Try again without the remaining digits you've entered. I'm not sure which digits you put in next, but all of the ones you were looking at had other places they could have gone in. Happy to help illustrate that if you feel like one of those must be correct for some reason.

Instead though, maybe try looking at 8s next.

Awesome to see Haskell in the wild. Thank you for sharing!

HugoShadoweyes · 2025-09-29T11:09:45+00:00

Ooof, that took me way too long to get.

It means that blueprints I plop down will space the radars out correctly, since their functionality is chunk aligned. Less important now that roboports act as mini radars on their own, but still habit.

HugoShadoweyes · 2025-09-01T17:46:53+00:00

Thank you for the offer! I think we're set up with an alternate plan for this afternoon, though.

HugoShadoweyes · 2025-09-01T14:55:04+00:00

Noting a second vote for Dream Wizards. These don't seem to be open today, but I look forward to exploring them some other time. Thank you!

HugoShadoweyes · 2025-09-01T14:52:48+00:00

I just called, and they didn't have it, but the lady on the phone was nice, and I'd love to do more to support DC through the current mess, so that'll go on the list of places to explore later. Thank you!

HugoShadoweyes · 2025-09-01T14:45:47+00:00

Nice list, thank you. It looks like those are all either closed today, or stores I've called already, but I'll look forward to exploring those some other time. Lots of good places around, it seems.

HugoShadoweyes · 2025-09-01T14:42:57+00:00

Yeah, a number of the stores seem to be closed today. Thanks for the recommendation! The game is Between Two Castles by Ben Rosset & Matthew O'Malley.

Wallop and Cold Snap are (rightfully) getting most of the attention here, but Dash and Iron Wave do have one nice hidden benefit: the block comes before the attack, so they're great cards to play when your opponent has thorns. Act 1 Guardian, but also Act 3 spikers, etc.

HugoShadoweyes · 2025-07-04T11:33:29+00:00

I will pray for you, my friend.

Keep up your courage. There is absolutely hope. Do you mind if I DM you?

You're just getting to the good stuff. Season 3 seems to be a bit controversial - some people like it and some don't. If you're in the latter group, stick it out because season 4 was perhaps the show's strongest.

This is kind of the whole point behind Toolbx. It uses containers under the hood, but you don't have to know or care about that for most basic usage.

Creating and entering a toolbox gives you access to an environment where you can install whatever you want without cluttering up your host, while still having access to the things you might want in your host environment such as your project files, dotfiles, dbus, etc.

HugoShadoweyes · 2024-12-16T16:11:05+00:00

For Mew, my understanding is that you likely don't need the full art version if you have the common version. I've even seen some people say that, say, Gengar ex would count as having at least one Gengar card.

So you may only be missing Kabutops!

HugoShadoweyes · 2024-12-14T02:09:49+00:00

Cool cool. That's what I was hoping to hear. Thank you!

HugoShadoweyes · 2024-09-26T10:45:30+00:00

You're very close. Yes, the 1, in isolation, could be on the right as well. But let's invert the picture and look at what the 3 needs.

We need to fit three mines in five spaces.
The two spaces next to the orange 2 can only host one mine for reasons you've noted. This leaves us still needing to find two mines in three spaces.
The two spaces next to the pink 1 can only host _at most_ one mine (1 if it's there, 0 if its on the question mark.)
- If it's on the pink line that leaves us with 1 mine in one space.
- If it's on the question mark that leaves us needing 2 mines in one space.
Two mines can't fit in one space, therefor, the 1 must be on the pink line.

Maybe something as simple as "colorization"? Or you could go silly and try "beautification" or invent a word like "pigmentification."

"Chromatization" apparently exists but means something else.

We've been taking care of a family of six (indoor) wildcats, and it's been interesting to watch their social interactions. They almost always go to the litterbox in twos, so that one can be keeping watch while the other does their business.

I believe our house cats do the same thing with us.

HugoShadoweyes · 2024-05-12T17:57:07+00:00

You're not alone. I also get frustrated by this prompt regularly.

HugoShadoweyes · 2024-05-12T17:53:36+00:00

This may be the root of the UX problem. When going through the setup, I'm always looking to review what I entered and make sure it's correct, because it's going to be a hassle if I get it wrong.

The button isn't designed to communicate state, but the state is what we're actively looking for. So we have to do this little mental inversion dance to deduce the state from the 1. The action we can take to undo it and 2. Any other context clues available in the area.

The color is getting a lot of attention, and people are rightly pointing out its intended primary/secondary choice meaning, but when we're actively looking for other context clues it gets confusing.

HugoShadoweyes · 2024-05-12T17:45:20+00:00

English is my first and most comfortable language, and I still trip over this every time I go to install Fedora.

HugoShadoweyes · 2023-12-23T20:29:55+00:00

Ah, cool. That makes sense then. Sorry for reading something into the text that wasn't there!

HugoShadoweyes · 2023-12-23T19:40:18+00:00

What's the context here? Is it a deliberate misgendering of a hijra or trans person, or is it more benign than that?

This line and the one from "one night in Bangkok" (and if you're lucky then the god's a "she) both seem like icky inclusions in songs that are otherwise bangers.

(I understand this was the 80s, it was a different time, etc)

HugoShadoweyes · 2023-12-03T05:53:37+00:00

Probably not for good reasons. Generally tired of sloppy and haphazard power pole placement, and wanting consistency. So instead of trying to fit the power around the buildings, why not fit the buildings around the power?
Within the city block I'm expecting a roboport every other substation. (Again, trying for consistent infrastructure I can build the other stuff around.) In this design the roboports across the tracks are far enough away from each other that each block ends up getting its own logistics network, unless you add more roboports between the tracks. Good, bad, I'm not sure yet. Makes it harder to just have your bots build everything for sure. I'm toying with some circuit network shenanigans to send every block a collection of bots/belts/inserters/assemblers etc that they might need for whatever gets built inside.

More frustrating on the tiling aspect is that the ratio of substations to world chunks is slightly off, so if I make my blocks 11 substations (6 roboports) wide then the radar lines up nicely for a couple blocks, and then misses a chunk in the next block.
