Good game concept and implementation. Run smoothly even on phone.

Extend the capability to include timer, boost of speed and even levels with enemies.. I would love to also try having a kind of multi level support for moves.. Like 3 layers to explore the 3d navigation with layers of ground for moves.

Awesome experiments that could easily become viral! :)

I've experimented with GCP's Stack using Agent Builder and relying on Gemini Pro 1.5.

I also experimented with pretty large of various files (around 6000 video games full notices) where I used OCR parsing in a similar configuration with mixed results due to the visual complexity of the original content.

Well written and highly detailed description, as always with Fabien's work.

I remember seeing the investigation on this iPhone protection back at the time, what a journey it has been since this work.

Also, I hope someone can provide more information about that minus 0x400 shift before data write so it would be completely explained.

Out of the selected topic, the technical context is amazingly well written and the analysis is strong.

PostGIS usage and optimizations are well detailed and I really liked the various options exploration and index explanation and implementation by samples.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

I worked for Eurotunnel/Getlink, actual operator of the tunnel(s), as a software architect between 2012 and 2020.

I can tell several fossils were displayed in the main office building both in France and in UK.

I remember a big ammonite, like 90 cm wide at least, displayed on the French Terminal, main office building with a sign next to it explaining the context of the discovery.

We all have the biggest movie in mind and we know the unfortunate situation our heroe is facing right now, makes us all doomed.

More seriously, interestingly, those analysis would require early detection and therefore investments on such approach, which might not be always the case. The article was interesting and I hope we won't be prototyping soon.

Nice implementation and animations.

I've used summle.net for a couple of months.

Few ideas from their implementation: - achievements, badges and stats - hints when your stuck - 3 levels (for kids, normal, extreme) - quick erase all - % of overall resolution from other user - best solution (in N moves VS your K moves)

Few other ideas: - dark mode - practice mode (more user retention, just like quordle)

Enjoy your code and your project, I'll try to add it to my daily puzzles.

I've tried and like it.

Few comments to improve your work: French language has a space before and after '?' or '!'.

Also, normally, there are also other accent on uppercase letter, for example I had 'A la serre, le croc et l'ongle.' in 'Le livre de la Jungle', the first A should be 'À'.

Chart for progression in WPM or correctness, tips to improve, audio feedback activation if error in typing...

Keep going, it's a good idea!

In the Tesla, you have the time required till your next step on a long trip.

So, you don't charge until you're fully loaded at 100% but if you're following the instructions, you'll get at your next stop with around 20% left for best charging conditions. You even get the info on your mobile as a notification so you can know you can go back on the road.

I really mean it's a pleasure to drive.

The funny thing is, I made the trip from Lille, France (near where I live) to Poznan in Poland, a few stops required all along and no problem - more than 2000km on a few days.

In the summer, in France, Lille to Alps then Ardeche and no problem.

Same for my past vacations here in the South of France (Ardeche, France), around 1000 km long trip and same for getting back here.

I've been using my Tesla (TS85D) since Nov2015, and the only time I had a short stress was while I went seeing Elon Musk in Paris because there were hundred of Teslas in the same area.

So, frankly, I respect the author of this article, but I think if you're following what is displayed on board and adding a little logical thinking and planning a bit your trip in some remote areas (Britany for example) (with OpenChargeMap or ChargeMap applications among others), then it's all good.

You're right about the Street View feature that is currently a true key diferenciator that has not a lot of competition in terms of availability and coverage.

Though, Mapillary is quite interesting but their pricing model is not really comparable to Google's one: https://www.mapillary.com/pricing
