I don't understand the opposition to mobile zoos of reptiles/snakes. Are people just voting 'ick' factor, or is there something horrifying I've missed?

Note they merge 'somewhat unacceptable' and 'unacceptable' into the bars, which is.... a choice.

 

Open source repo in link, and most recent patch was just a few months ago! Single player had several nice puzzles, took a nice 30 minutes. Includes 2 player mode and a level creator.

Note it's 'hold leftclick and swipe' to cut an edge in the browser/pc.

Would you then be posting your conclusions? Like, if you're gonna do that work on some of these posts anyway... may as well share.

Bravo for bringing the notes. On a first glance, some of these feel like they require subjectivity (like, do we really believe the political spectrum is 1d?), but I agree I could run the computation myself from this.

I'd probably provide a link to a 3d-print of the tile, and/or describe the vague shape without the precise measurements. Something like "the tile is shaped like an isometric view of a top-hat, with a bite taken out of the top left". To be honest, I don't think the diagrams are all that load-bearing for people who can see either - hard to parse, impossible to tell if they are honest, etc. That's why there's so many proofs. Finally, for the actual connections one could break it into an adjacency graph. Each tile a vertex, each flat face dual to an edge (labeled with which face), and specify them out.

All this said; I'm not an expert. Part of why I'm excited for the forum and wanted to share.

And there is no "the" way to accessibility, surely. It takes dozens of things, most small. I agree visual LLMs will/have been a nice tool.

It wont surprise you to hear that they don't! And TikZ is one of the main packages not well supported by XML/HTML converters. You need the authors to add alt text; best method I've seen is to make the TikZ/PGF in a standalone file, import as a png/pdf with the graphicx package, and add alt text that way.

 

You may have seen that cool new arXiv feature 'experimental HTML' - this is about stuff like that! Latex (and hence a lot of math research) is not well suited to screen readers, but HTML is. If you'd like to learn more about how your paper can be in the format, or just about how to make research more accessible, this could be useful!

 

And, for bonus points, how are they made?

These seem like an awfully important test piece. I'm pretty sure they're just checking for glucose with some enzyme or something. But who knows, maybe its something simple or everyday? Are all brands using the same materials?

For the record - this is the argument against democracy. And it's not so bad!

Democracy can do horrific things! It is prone to mistakes with things that can be fear-mongered, where there's a lot of money invested in grifting, and when the real reasons are sufficiently complicated that they don't fit on signs (or nobody is interested in doing the work to put them on signs).

depending on how much want to do, I have seen kits for ~$30. Pretty sure I've seen some small kits taken for camping, so they can't be too pricy. And if you can't afford it, just start bringing it up around town! Maybe somebody will get excited and do it for you.

I'm not very good at telling when I need more sunlight, exercise, or even food. But I can tell when our pet needs things, and find it pretty motivating to take care of them (and hence myself).

Fortunately containers can get bigger =)

While we aren't all the same, there's a difference between things that require holding 8 complicated things in mind at once, and things that require a little language learning and the intelligence to solve a crossword. This is closer to the latter - like doing a crossword in Spanish. You need to know a bunch of little things, but learning them is basically all tedium and not brilliant insights. (Taking these puzzles, creating a dozen new variants, and solving all of those probably does require managing a lot of complexity. But to understand the work of others, is not so bad)

[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (4 children)

If it's any consolation, you are almost certainly within ~3 years of understanding the solution and a dozen variants. It's not a super deep area. Probably doesn't really require calculus (you need continuous as in 'the lion doesn't teleport; that's cheating', but I think not much more).

[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago (6 children)

I'm a little sad nobody with the relevant mathematics background has jumped in. These puzzles are considered; a simple version is the lion-hunting-man where both have the same speed and infinite turning speed (eg, this paper, where the arena they play in varies).

Shopping cart (lemmy.world)
 

I have been walking to the nearest grocery, and have just had my foldable shopping cart break. The large plastic wheels shattered, and made for a very unpleasant time dragging the thing back home. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for a good cart, or even one that's relatively easy to repair. Foldable is not important. Not getting stuck on every crack in the sidewalk would be a plus.

I think this is the proper way to treat games that you're done developing. My only requests might be:

  • Adding a way to self-host an instance (with mod tools)
  • Open sourcing (so the community can fix their own bugs)
 

Policy video on assisted dying by a UK doctor. Youtube has decided not to promote it as an intense topic, so I'm putting it here.

FWIW, I don't think the video will be particularly triggering. It's heavy, but they are quite focused on the case of physiologically terminally ill patients.

 

What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?

So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren't co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.

 

I've recently wanted a more programmable one, as my work recently broke the shared calendar (but haven't broke the rss feed for it, yet!). Suggestions?

 

Should I be using a controller, a keyboard, or something else? I heard that it was developed for PC, has that remained the better UI?

 

I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising... salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?

 

This years MAA MathFest is in Tampa Florida, which is not a good place to be LGBTQIA+. The linked open letter asks the organizers to provide an online option, and be more honest in their messaging.

Email template and emails to reach out to appear at the end.

 

I've got an old trench coat that really needs cleaned, but the tag has frayed/fallen off/lost all text, and I can't remember if it's machine washable.

In case I run into similar troubles, are there any good actionable rules to use here? Thanks!
