• Fast Factorial Algorithms

  Let's hope this is going to help me solve some more Project Euler [1] problems! [1] https://projecteuler.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• I Miss Thinking Hard

  Https://projecteuler.net/ for "Thinker" brain food. (it still has the issue of not being a pragmatic use of time, but there are plenty interesting enough questions which it at least helps). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• A simple leaderboard changed player behavior in my puzzle game

  I have a Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net/) account. Though I do not register at all on the leader board I will sometimes work obsessively on a problem just to make one of the level icons light up for me. There is not really competition just a tiny reward. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Does hobby programming indicate that you would rather invent than discover?

  I do hobby programing. It is sometimes to create something (supposedly) useful. Lately though it is more discovery and a little math like. I enjoy Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net/. Recently I have been playing with superpermutations (https://projecteuler.net/) and pencil and paper is useful but filling lots of paper with lots of numbers is not that fun. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Solving 100 Project Euler problems using 100 languages

  As pointed out in a sibling comment, it appears that quote only shows up if you're logged in, but assuming you have an account and are logged in, it's on the homepage (https://projecteuler.net/), second paragraph under the following heading: > I learned so much solving problem XXX, so is it okay to publish my solution elsewhere? > It appears that you have answered your own question. There is nothing quite like... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ownership of open source flashcard app Anki transferred to for-profit AnkiHub

  It's not FOSS but Mochi [0] is a pretty good alternative. [0] https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Study Mode

  I would like to see randomized control group studies using study mode. Does it offer meaningful benefits to students over self directed study? Does it out perform students who are "learning how to learn"? What affect does allowing students to make mistakes have compared to being guided through what to review? I would hope that study mode would produce flash card prompts and quantize information for usage in spaces... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Spaced Repetition Memory System

  I'm a big fan of Mochi[1] (also unaffiliated) after getting frustrated with the clunkiness of Anki. Mochi has great native apps on macOS and iOS (and maybe more?), the cards are formatted in markdown so I can generate them with LLMs with a custom system prompt, and I just found out today they have an API so I might try my hand at getting an LLM to push new cards on its own via. An MCP server. 1. https://mochi.cards/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Efficient German Language Learning: Is Anki the Answer?

  I think spaced repetition can be very helpful in language learning, but the author's plan of finding a pre-made deck of the most common 5,000 words is probably the worst way to use it. A much more effective approach is to create vocab cards yourself as you find new words through your immersion. Immersion could be anything from watching content online, to reading, to conversations with native speakers. From here... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
