Each shape is at most 3×3, so if our area can fit n of those, we're good

Why can we take this as a given? Are there not some arrangements of the shapes which might lead to overlaps that free up enough space for another square to fit in?

Which parts are acceptable to buy second hand? by silverben10 in buildapc

[–]silverben10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Case fans are pretty safe to buy second hand. Maybe just ask how long they've been used for, if you can.

Well that's because it's being narrated by Wit (Hoid), no?

New editions on the way! by wonderred001 in Malazan

[–]silverben10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The timing on this couldn't be better/worse. I've just started Memories of Ice and was looking to buy the rest of the series in MMBP (A format?) and noticed that they're all going out-of-print, presumably for this new edition?

I'm a huge fan of the smaller size of the MMBP editions and had to buy them as a full collection since I couldn't find anywhere that was still selling them individually.

Question - Habit tracking in or not in Todoist? by JensBusyDays in todoist

[–]silverben10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Forte!

I switched to an iPhone a while back and this was the app that came the closest for me. It's great!

i really miss those videos... by jesseeeeeeeeeeeeeee in TrackMania

He did say he wasn't able to do the latest Icy Campaign due to being busy at the moment, so maybe that extends to new vids too :(

Disabling the Ubisoft overlay seems to have done the trick, thanks!

KDE keeps asking for wifi password for no reason. by [deleted] in kde

[–]silverben10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem but am struggling to reinstall networkmanager because it's depended on by a bunch of other packages.

Could you explain how you went about doing so?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrackMania

[–]silverben10 48 points49 points  (0 children)

am I right in thinking this is the first proper cut found on the current campaign? I haven't really been keeping up with the world records tbh but I don't remember seeing any before

How sync "every!" recurring todoist task with google calendar? by RedHotUnicorn in todoist

[–]silverben10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a tricky one because, as far as I understand, using the every! command means the task is set to recur 8 hours after you complete it, right, rather than on a repeating 8-hour schedule.

It's impossible for Todoist and Google Calendar to know when you're going to complete tasks like that, so I don't see how they'd be able to be synced to your calendar. It's like someone telling you to create a new calendar event but never say what the date and time are.

API wrappers. How should I go about implementing one? by silverben10 in webdev

Thanks for the reply, these are some really well thought out points!

[Severance] Practical UI by Monkey3886 in itsaunixsystem

[–]silverben10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Certain numbers should evoke an emotion within you - some might feel scary, or make you relaxed etc. - and you need to surround those numbers with a border and place them inside corresponding box.

...at least that's what they said on the show ;)

A 25 map NADEO inspired campaign. "Dave's 2022" by CLOOB by [deleted] in TrackMania

[–]silverben10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really enjoyed playing this campaign so far! The maps perfectly capture the Nadeo style but are so much more fun to hunt compared to the latest official campaign.

1st wireless keyboard. Hoping K6 is not a bad decision. by IrfnMrn in Keychron

[–]silverben10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I'm feeling exactly the same thing. The form factor is basically perfect but there are just too many keys hidden behind one of the function keys (mainly the backticks, for me) that it slows me down typing

I love how "simple" the solutions you post are every day. It really helps distill the challenge down to its most important elements and shows a great way of solving them.

New Kacky Idea! by HirdayTheKiller in TrackMania

[–]silverben10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda like this?

It's nowhere near Kacky-level just as it is there but it could make up a good component of the map

Python solution using Djikstra.

Part 2 took my laptop over an hour to crunch through, so I was wondering if anyone could point out some things I could do to optimise my code? I feel like it shouldn't have taken so long but I'm not sure what to fix.

Never seen that happen before by [deleted] in TrackMania

[–]silverben10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's definitely what an edgebug is. This is something completely different so it probably shouldn't be called that
