Generating sudokus for fun and no profit: interactive explainer for the various ways to code a Sudoku solver https://tn1ck.com/blog/how-to-generate-sudokus
Dan Neuman hometown (AP)
@xerophile Exceptional article, and I love having the working algorithms to test. For generating a valid starting Sudoku, my understanding is that you can start with a grid of ordered numbers [1-9], then just randomly swap rows and columns. Each swap should maintain validity.

It depends on what your definition of "couch" is.

Russian authorities will soon be able to ban any foreign organizations they find inconvenient by labeling them "undesirable," making cooperation with them a criminal offense.

Liebe #FahrradBubble & Interessierte,

im Moment schwappt eine Erregungs-Welle auch hier durchs #FediVerse:
Das #Verkehrsministerium plane angeblich ein Gewichtslimit für #Fahrradanhänger von maximal 50 kg.

Allein: es stimmt (so) nicht.

Es ist die (leider üblich) verkürzte, reißerische Darstellung in verschiedenen Medien, was die Aufregung auslöst (siehe Screenshot aus dem FahrradWohnwagen-Forum).

Der Hersteller "Hinterher" schreibt im CargoBikeForum:
"Demnach dürfen Fahrradanhänger zukünftig maximal 50 kg Gesamtmasse aufweisen, ansonsten brauchen sie ein eigenes Auflaufbremssystem."

Der Hersteller bietet aktuell wohl keine Modelle mit Auflaufbremse an.

Weiterhin schreiben sie aber:
"... tatsächlich gibt es zu der ganzen Geschichte bisher keine belastbaren schriftlichen Aussagen von Seiten des Ministeriums und der BASt."

https://www.cargobikeforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/massive-versch%C3%A4rfung-der-stvzo-f%C3%BCr-anh%C3%A4nger-geplant.10115/

https://fahrradwagen.com/d/5246-massive-versch%C3%A4rfung-der-stvzo-f%C3%BCr-anh%C3%A4nger-geplant

Ergo: erst mal alle wuschig machen, obwohl noch nichts offiziell ist?

@mastobikes_de @fedibikes_de das ist die große Frage. Es gab ja wohl eine Veranstaltung mit Herstellern und Ministerium. Und bis zum Vorpreschen von #hinterher keine Veröffentlichung zu dem Thema.

This is a heads-up to the energized and enthusiastic young voters who are being drawn to the Harris campaign in huge numbers.

You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile and specious personal attacks based on her race and gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract and demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential election year — winning — which depends on voting. Let nothing stop you from getting to the polls. Because Election Day 2024 will decide who will govern and uphold democratic values.

Despite what our capitalist rulers want us to think, everything is not fine...
_________________________________

The northern hemisphere has had a large number of intense wildfires in the first half of summer, carrying vast amounts of smoke across Eurasia and North America.

These wildfires are generally caused by long periods of hot and dry conditions in areas of high vegetation, and have resulted in increased carbon and smoke emissions.

Large-scale and intense wildfires have developed throughout the late spring and summer, with numerous fires burning in Canada, Alaska, and eastern Russia.

Guillermo Rein, a professor of fire science in the department of mechanical engineering at Imperial College London, said: “In recent years the fire season is expanding, starting earlier and lasting longer. But it’s not just the fact the wildfire season is widening, it’s also that the intensity of wildfire season is becoming unprecedented.”

According to official Russian figures, the number of wildfires this year has decreased by 30% compared with the previous year, but the area burnt is 50% larger, highlighting the intensity of the wildfires.

I’m generally fine with weird events in the #Olympics, but I genuinely don’t understand why horse dancing is one of them.

1. It’s basically just a dog show for horses and we don’t have Olympic dog shows
2. Like horse racing, the horse should be getting the medal
3. I can’t even tell if they’re doing a good job
4. I really don’t enjoy watching rich assholes prance around in their riding clothes

I've been excited about people's energy around #KamalaHarris. It has kept me checking #threads, #mastodon, and #bluesky. Likewise, I've been boosting posts in support. I have also donated and am looking for ways to help out #Harris2024 #IRL.

As a member of the #TwitterMigration, I have not been on #Twitter in months. Is there any value in trying to help #Harris' campaign with retweets on #Twitter?
A tweet with a video of Vice President Harris. The text above the video states: 

Before I became vice president and before I was elected as U.S. senator, I was the attorney general of California. Before that, I was a prosecutor who took on predators, fraudsters, and cheaters.

So I know Donald Trump’s type.

In this campaign, I will put my record against his.

On the right, a squinting child in 19th century ragamuffin garb. Behind the boxer, a cascade of gold coins pours out of a giant sack. Beside the kid, a piggy bank. They stand in a school playground with a tumbledown tenement behind it.

I did and it was different. Parts of it were amazing and beautiful Ms Dion was stunning. I liked the idea of using the Seine river but it caused the ceremony to drag mostly and the entertainers were so spread out it looked a little thin. All in all though a well done celebration of France which is what the opening ceremonies have become, a highlight of the hosts.
