I've really been playing with the idea of getting into trying to mod Valheim.

#412The following open research problem. Given an undirected graph G with two vertices s and t, the task is to determine whether there is an undirected path connecting s and t which is simple (no repeated vertices) and has length divisible by 3. It is not known whether this problem is NP-hard, or whether it can be solved in polynomial time; apparently the question is open since the early 90s. (The problem is also open fo…
What makes it NP-hard? Naively, I would assume the number of simple paths between any two nodes in a graph to a polynomial function of the number of nodes plus the number of edges, so checking every path wouldn't be hard.
In the complete graph on n vertices, there are (n-2)! simple paths of length n-1 between any pair of distinct vertices, which is more than any polynomial in the number of vertices or edges.

#414This post caught my attention because recently I met a woman I really admire. She dropped out of her computer engineering class, took a vow of celibacy and poverty and became a missionary with a Catholic sect. The reason I admire her isn't that. What caught my attention about her is that she has a sense of purpose. She has a purpose in life and has devoted her life to it. I used to have one. My goal was to make the l…
I worked with a founder who had the same vision. Democratising legal industry using tech.
It was my first job after college and was fun building a contract negotiation platform, document assembling API, etc.
Learnt a lot but had to leave because something was missing & it wasn't working out.
The person who I worked with has the same name signature as yours: vivek durai

#415Futsal.
Just started playing pick up futsal at the local YMCA. I’m pretty unfit right now but really enjoying it. I’d played football (soccer) as a youth and wanted to get back into it. Found the futsal pick ups and jumped in. A lot of fun and really good work out. I’d never heard of futsal until now. Similar to indoor 5 a side. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to play some competitive sports.

#416Powerlifting. Solitary and meditative if you want it to be; social and uplifting if you don't. It's healthy in a variety of ways (including bone density; physical activity; higher BMR and glucose metabolism; improved cardiovascular function). Also being strong is useful surprisingly often. Unlike many things in life, your progress is almost entirely dependent on your consistency and the effort invested, with the exce…
For anyone looking to get started I highly recommend the StrongLifts program and the associated app, both free [1].
I neglected strength training for a long time because every time I tried to get started I would feel overwhelmed. Then I tried StrongLifts and loved the fact that it's just 5 exercises, but provides pretty much a full body strength workout.
The guy who developed the program has put a ton of effort into making sure it's detailed and accessible so that pretty much any question you could have is answered.

#417The Brompton folding bicycle[1]. I have been obsessing over it to the point where I contacted the manufacturer because one of the product pictures had the wrong number of cables on it. The folding mechanism is an amazing piece of design, it not only collapses small but it also keeps the grubby tyres off the ground, keeps the chain and cogs inside the fold, can be left with the seat up to wheel around, or the handleba…
You're contagious!
I also have no need for one, and now can't stop reading about them.

#419Learning Korean to better communicate with my GFs family and take advantage of _finally_ having real motivation to learn another language. I'm really enjoying having a different type of challenge than I'm used to. Mostly approaching it with Duolingo and Anki vocab cards with moderate success so far. We both have our own careers, kids, various responsibilities...so I don't get much time to practice with her. And pract…
