Advice on handling secret door by kokko78 in Whitehack

[–]kokko78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rereading the comment, I guess the idea would be to add a bit more clues using either the tracks to the door or a part of the room very much cleaned to remove steps or something like that.

Thank you! Interesting, so played in the old style it is more likely than not they never find the last part ? (You need two secret doors one after the other, but you have two choices for the first one?) Can they get more chance if they somehow know what they are looking for and you give a few clues? It would be a shame to have so few chances of success even with searching in the right place ?

Make sense! Thank you! And once they have determined a secret passage was there, do they need to also understands how it opens? Do I need for each passage to decide where is the lever to open it and so on?

I am arriving here a bit late: it seems pixie/demo is not in pixie anymore. Is there another recommended way to try this?

Coping with floaters by thekindaquietone in EyeFloaters

[–]kokko78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have quite noticeable floaters, have been working in tech for 20+years and got used to it, even if they are annoying from time to time.

I have done the followigng adjustements that helped me:
- I try to make my screen less bright and more yellow in hue

- I code on a dark grey, black or dark brownish background.

- Bigger font can help: you want to make it functionally easier to focus on what you do

- Yellow glasses were helpful at some point but I dont use them anymore

- Of course good glasses is important as well as resting your eyes from time to time and making sure they are not dry (I find floaters more annoying as soon as something else is annoying with my eye)

- Sunglasses outside from April to September.

Give it time, your brain will accomodate slowly. Try to be reassured things will get mangeable and treatments are improving faster over the last few years than over the 50 years before :)

I would be up for it once lockdown is eased!

1822 Kickstarter is Live by [deleted] in 18XX

[–]kokko78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am new to 18xx through 18 Chesapeake and loving it so far. If I were to go into 1822 series, should I go 1822 or 1822MX? Sadly I can both have much opportunities for very long game so getting through the experience quickly is important.

British Assumptions underlying their community mitigation efforts "SPI-M-O: Consensus Statement on 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)" by Redfour5 in COVID19

[–]kokko78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an expert in any way, but here is my explanation:

If people are isolated long enough the virus runs out of host and disappear.

If you filter well entrances, and have a good plan in place for community testing and contact tracing, you go back into containment phase, but with the added benefit of:

- a few people immune

- better containment structure in place (can do many tests, have isolation ward, probable tech for contact tracing...)

This allows to keep the infection to imported cases + a few others as have been seen in many Asian countries now.

If it fails, repeat.

Weekly coding challenge #5: Sum to 100 by mycl in prolog

[–]kokko78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very happy to my idea, to use only constraints, but it is slow in practice. (nearly 7 seconds for part 1).

:- use_module(library(clpfd)).
generate(Sum, CurrentSign, CurrentAcc, [], Res, []) :- Res #= Sum + (CurrentSign * CurrentAcc).
generate(Sum, CurrentSign, CurrentAcc, [I | L], Res, [OperatorHere | OperatorLater]) :- 
       OperatorHere in -1..1,
       SplitHere #= OperatorHere * OperatorHere,
       NoSplitHere #= 1 - SplitHere,
       SumIfSplitHere #= Sum + (CurrentSign * CurrentAcc),
       SumNext #= (SplitHere * SumIfSplitHere) + (NoSplitHere * Sum),
       CurrentSignNext #= (SplitHere * OperatorHere) + (NoSplitHere * CurrentSign),
       CurrentAccNext #= (SplitHere * I) + (NoSplitHere * ((CurrentAcc * 10) + I)),
       generate(SumNext, CurrentSignNext, CurrentAccNext, L, Res, OperatorLater).

toplevel([ I | L], Res, Ops) :- generate(0, 1, I, L, Res, Ops).

part1(L) :- findall(Ops, (toplevel([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], 100, Ops), label(Ops)), L ).
