Steinar H. Gunderson: Solving a 1998 problem with 2023 methods


↺ Steinar H. Gunderson: Solving a 1998 problem with 2023 methods


> A long time ago, in 1998, our family entered a contest with a puzzle; given a bunch of company names (they were the ones participating in a loyalty program known as Domino, which has since gone defunct), try to spell out as many Norwegian names as possible. (The name list was fixed, but you actually had to buy a book to find it.)


> The prize was fairly attractive, so I went to work with a computer program instead of trying to figure it out by hand. I remember running it literally for weeks on my 400 MHz machine at the time; at some point, we even went on vacation for more than a month, and I came back disappointed to see that the search hadn't really gone that much further. Over time, I optimized it to use randomization in addition to backtracking, some bit fiddling tricks and so on. We thought we had a good shot.



Fedora Community Blog: February 2023 Council hackfest summary


↺ Fedora Community Blog: February 2023 Council hackfest summary


> Last month, the Fedora Council gathered in Frankfurt, Germany for our first in-person meeting since January 2020. It felt great to see folks again, but it wasn’t all fun and games (actually, we didn’t even play games until after we’d wrapped up on the last night). With three years of work to catch up on and a five year strategy to develop, there was a lot to do. If you want the Zodbot form, we logged the minutes. For more detail, read on.

> Fedora’s Code of Conduct is an important part of our community’s expectations about how we treat each other. Fedora is a welcoming community, and the Code of Conduct ensures it stays that way. I know the community believes in it because we get 20-ish reports every year. Most of these are resolved amicably, but dealing with these reports takes time and emotional energy.

> To improve the process and share the load, the Council discussed the creation of a Code of Conduct Committee. That proposal is working through the policy change process right now. You can read the details of the proposal in the Discussion thread and provide your input by Tuesday 21 March.
