    @joshmillard when I wrote songs in the past I often found myself repeating melodic or lyrical styles. I found that it's difficult for me to pick a theme and build around it (write something happy) but I could force myself to not slip into the same paths.

    For example, constraining myself to use no minor chords meant that I had to user other musical techniques to explore what I wanted to write. Modulating/changing key or augmented/diminished/suspended chords gave new paths to walk. 🎸🎶🛤

    @deech I like Brave, would like to see it gain some more adoption and features that align with privacy/monetization.

    I was intrigued that #Japanese has kanji for very large numbers (like 極=10^48), so I wrote a blog post about it. It's a story of counting systems, an Edo-era mathematics text and Buddhist scriptures, with a supercomputer and a samurai, so it might even interest you if you are not studying Japanese ^_^

      Le Monde puzzle [#1075]
      By xi'an from Xi'an's Og

      A Le Monde mathematical puzzle from after the competition:

      A sequence of five integers can only be modified by subtracting an integer N from two neighbours of an entry and adding 2N to the entry.  Given the configuration below, what is the minimal number of steps to reach non-negative entries everywhere? Is this feasible for any configuration?

      As I quickly found a solution by hand in four steps, but missed the mathematical principle behind!, I was not very enthusiastic in trying a simulated annealing version by selecting the place to change inversely proportional to its value, but I eventually tried and also obtained the same solution:

            [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
         -3    1    1    1    1
          1   -1    1    1   -1
          0    1    0    1   -1
         -1    1    0    0    1
          1    0    0    0    0
      

      But (update!) Jean-Louis Fouley came up with one step less!

            [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
         -3    1    1    1    1
          3   -2    1    1   -2
          2    0    0    1   -2
          1    0    0    0    0
      

      The second part of the question is more interesting, but again without a clear mathematical lead, I could only attempt a large number of configurations and check whether all admitted “solutions”. So far none failed.
