I solved Semantle #66 in 77 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of -1.44. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #36. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 56.08 (995/1000). semantle.novalis.org
I solved Semantle #66 in 74 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 7.40. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 78.68 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org
I find it interesting that both the name for the political ideology of Fascism and a strong homophobic slur originate from the same latin word, and for entirely different reasons
And it's not even a latin word with any harmful meaning. Just means "a bundle of sticks"
And IIRC the reason Fascism is called that is something to do with how one stick is easy to snap but a whole bundle of them isn't. I think bundles of rods were also weapons used by guards for rulers and the wealthy elite, so bundles of sticks were associated with authority too IIRC
as a unc student i am legally obligated to watch the basketball game tonight and i gotta say it's kinda funny how unc's playing fairly inconsistently but still way ahead because kansas is playing consistently poorly

The brilliant engineers at <enter company you love to hate> have struck again. This time they've "revolutionised" the generation of random permutations. "Every great invention is simple" they say and their magical new algorithm is as follows:
Start with a list 1,2,3,...,n of numbers to permute.
...
The expectation is that people will follow the rules and not be idiots for the sake of being idiots. Guess what, there's nothing physically stopping you from shoplifting or slapping your grandmother in the face. But you still don't do it.
And server side timing requirements aren't any better, you could just open multiple WS connections
Okay, that's a little unnecessarily rude. But please stop.
So every time you guys find exploits to something it's okay but when I hace a tiny bit of fun exploiting something for a short amount of time it's not?
I was a bit annoyed still by some of the early stuff that broke RTO, but that's honestly entirely on me since I was, after all, talking about how great the sandboxing was at preventing that exact sort of thing.
I'm mostly just annoyed about this instance because it's difficult to reverse and it's kind of painful to see stuff being done quickly when it's taken painstaking effort to draw simple logos in canvas
@hyper-neutrino Yeah, I was actually planning to use that as a way to redraw the previous board state after a server reboot. Just send a few hundred messages over the WS, which has the side effect of also looking really cool if you do it over 10s or so
@lyxal Might want to CC emanresu since I'll mostly only be working on the stuff that's needed to make it compatible with the hosting (given that it's their project)
@RadvylfPrograms alternatively use a bit of request filtering - instead of the canvas doing the job, let the server process the request and determine if enough time has passed
thursdays are my shit day this term because i have russian 4 days a week and since the thursday time slot conflicts with another class i have i'm in a different section on thursdays that's like 3 hours earlier
@lyxal which makes things a real pain when your uni's library search is terrible and all searches for discrete mathematics + algorithms comes up with all these research papers about high level stuff
So I'm calling a Stack Exchange post with 30 upvotes "peer-reviewed"
because on the site it's from, 30 is pretty significant
it's not like here where 30 is a result of a well-placed FGITW
@pxeger it'll have to. Finding sources for this assignment causes many headaches, and I don't feel like reliving the headache to find a source for the simple fact I'm referencing
