The only thing Windows installs without you wanting to is Edge. Ads like Candy Crush will only be installed after installing windows for the first time, not after any updates.

I’m a little confused about this one. The mappings are total, that is any number that is not defined explicitly gets mapped to itself. So it’s easy to create an example where the lowest number does not get mentioned within a range:

seeds: 0 3

seed-to-soil map:
10 0 2

soil-to-fertilizer map:
100 200 5

fertilizer-to-water map:
100 200 5

water-to-light map:
100 200 5

light-to-temperature map:
100 200 5

temperature-to-humidity map:
100 200 5

humidity-to-location map:
100 200 5

Here, we have seeds 0, 1 and 2. seed 0 gets mapped to location 10, seed 1 gets mapped to location 11 and seed 2 gets mapped to location 2. That means location 2 would be the answer, but it’s not a start of any range. I guess this just doesn’t happen in any of the inputs?

EDIT: actually it’s double weird. If you implemented a backwards search, that is you create reverse mappings and then try out all locations (which is what I and many others did), the result of the above example is location 0, whereas if you create a forwards brute force of all seeds, the result is 2. For the reverse approach to work in all cases, the mappings would have to be bijective.

yup, my bad. Frankly I thought grapheme meant something else, rather stupid of me. I think I understand the issue now and agree with you.

tbf that’s a lot easier to say when you’re the president of one of the richest companies in the industry. I don’t disagree, but not everybody has the resources to just keep developing forever, and that’s easy to forget too.

The way UTF-8 works is fixed though, isn’t it? A new Unicode standard should not change that, so as long as the string is UTF-8 encoded, you can determine the character count without needing to have the latest Unicode standard.

Plus in Rust, you can instead use .chars().count() as Rust’s char type is UTF-8 Unicode encoded, thus strings are as well.

turns out one should read the article before commenting

You definitely can with Group Policies.

I like Sublime Text and Sublime Merge and use both daily.

yup

I feel this is a bit disingenuous. The original Steam forum post said:

when straight comin out.

Calling that even a complaint is beyond me, and mocking the poster seems unnecessary. I don’t understand the intention behind this new title. As purely a joke against that forum post, I guess, but are they trying to mock straight sexuality?

If I can express my sexuality if I’m gay, why refuse that same ability if I’m not? Maybe I’m interpreting too much into it, but I don’t find it funny. I like it when people can be proudly and openly gay/trans/bi, but I don’t see why I can’t also be proudly straight. Or in other words, this game now gives me the message “if you are not LGBT, it’s not for you” which I guess is fine if that’s what they want.

It is by FUTO’s definition.

Jokes aside, I find that attitude not very healthy. Whether you want to call it open source or not, as I said, it’s far from proprietary, and certainly more than just source available. Dismissing it for that reason is quite unreasonable.
