The Sudoku puzzle format consists of (usually) a 9 by 9 grid that must be filled with numbers. The classical Sudoku rules are as follows

  1. Each row must contain all of the digits from 1 to 9, with no repetitions
  2. Each column must contain all of the digits from 1 to 9, with no repetitions
  3. Each sub square (3x3 grids marked by bold lines) must contain all of the digits from 1 to 9, with no repetitions

The historical inspiration of Sudoku begins with the Latin square, a type of grid problem similar to Sudoku in that it consists of an N by N grid where N digits (or letters) must be arranged in accordance with rules 1 and 2 of Sudoku (the sub square had yet to be invented). The first known example of a 9 by 9 Latin Square is from a monograph over 300 years ago, written by the Korean mathematician Choi Seok-Jeong. However, the Latin Square was popularized in the west by the legendary mathematician Leonhard Euler, who independently invented it almost 70 years after Choi Seok-Jeong.

According to Christian Boyer (idk who this is), on July 6th, 1895, the french newspaper La France published the earliest known example of a "true" Sudoku puzzle following all 3 rules of modern Sudokus, although french newspapers had previously been publishing similar (but different) puzzles prior. The name "Sudoku" itself (meaning "single digit") comes from Japanese magazines in which the game was popular during the 80s and 90s.

In Modern times, the Sudoku puzzle scene has been blessed with the addition of numerous variants, that add on additional rules, elevating the puzzle. The puzzle in the provided image is one such example, known as the "miracle Sudoku". It comes with 3 additional rules on top of the 3 original.

  1. If 2 digits are separated by a knight's move in chess, then they cannot be the same
  2. If 2 digits are separated by a king's move in chess, then they cannot be the same
  3. If 2 digits are adjacent (left, right, down or top, none of the diagonal directions), then they cannot be consecutive (ex - 5 and 6, or 7 and 8)

As can be seen from the fact that only 2 digits have been provided to start with, modern Sudoku authors are big fans of making puzzles that appear to be impossible to solve. This of course, is my favorite part about modern Sudoku. If you want to try to solve the miracle Sudoku, here is the link.

Some of the other example variants add new rules, such as German whispers, Dutch whispers, Renban lines, Entropy lines, Thermometer lines, killer cages and many more. You can find a massive collection of these puzzles on the logic-masters website.

Does... Does anyone else hate pride? Its pride here... I really dont like it, it just feels like another opportunity to be excluded by my supposed community, another opportunity to be told "everyone fits in here (except you)". Despite what all the people around me seem to say, there is no trans community, no queer community. Theres just overlapping social groups... That im not a part of and either dont want to be a part of or am actively excluded from. I have my friends. Most are trans or queer. Thats enough. Pride is for the acceptable people, not me.

[โ€“] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This is how I felt going to pride, like I wasn't actually apart of a group in certain ways, again. This tends to happen with me, but to experience that feeling via neurodivergence makes no sense. Why why why are they still doing things that so easily induce sensory overload? So many of us are autistic or otherwise neurodivergent. Why are we forcefully dragged to stalls, called at by corporate representatives as we walk by? Why does it feel like consumption is the only purpose. And this is responding to your other comment as well, but it all dissapears after it's done. The bit of a feeling of community just died. So many people including me need more than that more than just one day a year, and none of us have it. I'm very upset with how pride tends to go, and how quickly everything gets dropped, and how closed off everything in society continues to be for disabled people, even in other marginalized spaces.

Oh, and there were cops everywhere. Still going to go again next time, spending a day with people I care about is worth it to me (although I'm leaving around the time it officially starts)

Ohmigosh this so much this why didnt this cross my mind. Its so hard to be around people in general, and then they want to add lights and loud music coming from every stall and people actively trying to grab my attention and so much so so much like i need to be at my most resourced and well defended in order to attend an event that is supposed to be for me?

I wish there was like an ND friendly anti-selling-things pride, one that actually focuses on community building. No sponsers, no corpos, certainly no cops, just facilitating building genuine community connections. Pride should be an instance of organizing. Instead its mobilizing. No not even that, pride isnt even mobilizing, rather it feels like a feel good queer shopping mall, cause queers have money too now.

[โ€“] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

It could just be that the pride is a bad one, and I would believe that, it's lib central and the lack of real lasting community probably contributes to the issues with the event as well.

[โ€“] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I dont hate pride but I've never gone to a pride parade or pride thing! I dunno, I've never felt the need or desire. And I've always felt a little suspicious of it out cant tell you what gets my back up about it exactly. It might literally just be the amount of people. The most I've done is trans day of remembrance stuff in public.

[โ€“] lilypad@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I guess i dont have a good reason i dont like it, it just feels so... Commodified. Like, theres people selling their homemade stuff, vendors selling things. People go on and on about unity, community, but as soon as pride is over that community dries up, cause really its just a chance to sell some shit. We come together to celebrate ourselves but we say nothing of the homeless queers we pass on the street. I guess im not even angry at pride, im just angry at liberal ladder pulling queers.

[โ€“] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

I definitely feel the same way

We haven't talked in so long and I really badly want a friendship with her.. so bad at making new friends though..

Its your cousin right? Should work out okay

[โ€“] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yea, that doesn't mean I'm good at building or maintaining relationships though. Especially because I don't know what we'd do together- idk if she games, we live very far too so real life hanging out is impossible. idk.

I remember the last time my friends came around on their bikes without texting, unannounced, just to see if I was home and wanted to hang out. 2008, we had basic cell phones (parents got us them, we were out a lot alone, older teens). At the time I didnt think that would be it, but it was.

I dunno if I miss it, per se. But the spontaneity and closeness was nice. Everyone switched to text first before coming by for a reason though - it did suck to go somewhere and they weren't home or couldn't hang out and people were busy and so on and so on.

spoilerI literally don't know why sometimes I'm fine and then sometimes I'm agonizing for hours about how much I hate being trans and how there's no remedy for me.

There's nothing that could/will make this acceptable

Why is this so much more painful for me then others

ranting and raving about IDEsi like neovim more than other editors but i would like it more if my stupid plugin manager let me configure on a per project basis and i didnt have to fuck around with tabstops and line endings all. the. time. arghhhhhhhh. say what you will about IDEs (and there's a lot to say) but at least you dont have to fuck around with this shit constantly, forget the setting names and have to dig through documentation to set it up/fix it every single time you come back to a project. I've spent more time fucking with tabstops and line endings than I have actually writing code. Such a gigantic pain in the ass. My take on editors is that I hate them all except emacs bc i've never used it and I'd probably hate it too for anything other than tiny LISP progs. I just want a lightweight and fast terminal editor with syntax highlighting/errors in the current files I have open, symbol lookup, and an easy way to hook up to a debugger. thats it! I don't need git integration! I'll use the fuckin cli! I dont need AI bs! its crap! I don't want to manually disable half my plugins when i switch to a different language and still load every lsp for things i'm not even using! I just want it to work consistently, require minimal configuration and get the fuck out of my way so i can write the damn code. fuck!!! people hate on the godot code editor cause it doesn't have multiple buffers but damn if I havent gotten more done just because i dont have to fuck around with the settings all the time

[โ€“] hello_hello@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

text editor nerd shitJust use Emacs. All text editors after emacs are worse reimplementations of Emacs because only Emacs understood that the code editor shouldn't have an API and should just exist to manipulate and edit text. Also no AI ootb. Every feature you listed is built in.

Emacs can be used in the terminal btw and out of the box has support for LSPs (you literally hit "eglot" and it turns on)

You do want git integration, but on the level of Magit in Emacs where every git feature has been converted to a mnemonic interface and there's no workflow interruption from diff to editor window. You dont even have to go into the git window you can do git commands right in the editing window.

Emacs concepts of major and minor modes also makes it super flexible in any environment.

[โ€“] semioticbreakdown@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

is there a way to set it up so that my configuration + plugins/packages are based on my current project?

CW: Joy killingMy mom has actually figured out I am genuinely unhappy being with my parents despite my efforts to hide it. She confronted me about it and I was just, stumped. Didn't want to admit it, but my silence spoke volumes.

My little brother is in a terrible mood these days and doesn't respond well. He also has too many temper tantrums which drain the emotional energy of the family.

My dad, I just feel sorry for him, he seems to be a struggling with a family that doesn't kinda care about him.

Yeah, I'm remembering now why I was so eager to leave, and why I had to leave before my relationship with my parents healed.

I know I shouldn't blame myself, but me being trans and repressing (then hiding) it for 10 years at this point has driven the family to dysfunction. It's just a fact. Any hope for a healthy family dynamic is permanently dead. And I don't feel at all like I ever want to come out to my parents, not because I'm even afraid anymore, but because the emotional disconnect is irreparable.

Also, I will just say it. I've grown up to be a nihilistic, sadistic and self-loathing type of person. And I say none of that in a romanticised way. I'm niethzche's last man (or last woman) (I refuse to spell that fascist's name correctly)7

I've grown up to be a nihilistic, sadistic and self-loathing type of person.

The broke hating yourself vs the woke hating others (my recommendation)

Also fuck your family, honestly dgaf. They're just people you happen to be related to. Since we already know most people suck very-smart the same holds true here tbh. When I don't need mine I intent to have as little contact as I can get away with. They might be able to help me out financially if I got in a bind or I'd definitely consider dropping them completely tbh. Also its not your fault its theirs, they're the dipshits who forced/pressured/whatever you to repress for a decade.

[โ€“] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Also

sadistic

Most people want to torture me so shrug-outta-hecks I hope the same for them. They're the ones with power anyway. Could probably list more people who should suffer but I think that's enough. I simply want what they force on me. They don't want to pay for my reconstructive surgeries, they should need and be denied reconstructive care. Fuck em. Burn in hell. I hate the fuckers. So many fuckers I hate. I don't like hating most humans but they're mostly deserving of it. They deserve every bit of suffering they've inflicted on me.

If you read my rant, thank you for being my virtual therapist. I cannot afford a real one.

I really wanted to both do nothing today and play yakuza like a used to but couldn't do both and settled with my chores in the morning before cuddling with my plushies in bed all day listening to iceburg vids. Don't know if I wasted the day necessarily since I chose to do it but yeah. Week days are for studying some more until I find a job and weekends are my time and even spending the day on me feels good.
