Great investigation and excellent production value! Brings back good memories too, as 10 years ago my first contribution to lichess was to improve the PGN notation for disambiguation. [1] [1] https://github.com/lichess-org&#

Härkingen is well-known for being at the crossroads of important highways, FWIW. It is definitely a very relevant location for logistics.

Facebook reportedly was using Bittorrent to distribute their own application across their servers. I remember outreach presentations where they mentioned this over 10 years ago, and this article seems to have some corroborating details: ht

Congrats! We tried something similar a few years ago (also at the TC Disrupt Hackathon [1]), but had to take a lot of shortcuts to get to something working. I'm impressed you had the time to train a proper model (we went with old schoo

That's correct. If you're curious about the architecture: the vision part detects a chessboard, then corrects the perspective and restricts the image to just the square of the board, then looks at each square and has some simple t

We built a barely working version of that during a hackathon a while back: https://github.com/chesseye/chesseye (README has a link to a video). It takes a lot of shortcuts, works with just the right lightning, etc., bu

It was definitely a little confusing, as there seems to be many ways of exiting. From the QBasic docs in the IDE: END: Ends a program, procedure, block, or user-defined data type. [...] If no argument is supplied, END ends the program and c

It is my understanding that QB64 [1] compiles through C++, although I haven't tried it myself. They in theory support a superset of QBasic, and you could compile the C++ generated files using emscripten (again, in theory). [1] https:&

Thank you! On a "warm" invocation, almost all the time goes into DOSBox + QBasic. Not precise measurements but: on my MacBook Pro, running the QBasic interpreter from within DOSBox consistently takes about 1.5 seconds & runnin

MX3 is a platform curated by the national radio stations in all four languages. The playlist by Radio Rumantsch would be a good start: https://mx3.ch/p/2ev (not all the songs are in romansch in there, though).

I speak Romansch (although poorly, by now), AMA. (Or even better, out yourself as a fellow speaker!)

I'm not sure it was ever the goal that everyone would _speak_ Rumantsch Grischun, as it is called, but the hope was that at least it would be used in writing (e.g. in school books) [1]. The resistance there is arguably more surprising.

Nice tool! Not too obvious from the landing page that there is a terminal version. Also, some units come with implicit assumptions: ≫ 1 month -> days 1 month -> d = 30.4167 d ≫ 1 year -> days 1 year -&g

zenodo.org lets you archive code and data, generates DOIs, has a GitHub integration, and is maintained by a reputable team. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
