Solving LinkedIn Queens with APL

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-27 02:09:51

Solving LinkedIn Queens with APL 14 Jun 2025 on Peter Vernigorov’s blog A couple months ago I noticed that LinkedIn now has a few simple games. They’re not much to write home about, but I really enjoy playing Queens. This week I saw two posts about solving the Queens game programmatically. Both were quite interesting to me, so I thought this was a good opportunity to also solve the game in my favourite language - APL - and share my experience. Having been using APL for Advent of Code, I wante

Scientists Reveal Easy Three-Step Plan to Terraform Mars

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-28 07:45:29

Terraforming, the act of radically transforming a planet's climate and environment to make it suitable for human habitation, currently belongs to the realm of science-fiction. But it's possible, at least in theory, and the idea of terraforming our nearest candidate planet for off-world colonization, Mars, has captivated us for generations. But how would we even begin to pull off such a monumental feat of engineering? You can basically boil it down to three simple steps, argue the authors of a r

Plastic pollution is one of the defining environmental challenges of our time – and some of nature’s tiniest organisms may offer a surprising way out. In recent years, microbiologists have discovered bacteria capable of breaking down various types of plastic, hinting at a more sustainable path forward. These “plastic-eating” microbes could one day help shrink the mountains of waste clogging landfills and oceans. But they are not always a perfect fix. In the wrong environment, they could cause

Fecal transplants have emerged as a potential treatment for a wide range of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, and even depression. These so-called poop transplants have understandably received a lot of attention, but new research casts a bit of a wet blanket over the practice.
