These are all 259 Hamiltonian 7x7 grid paths that start in the top left, start walking right (w.l.o.g.), and never walk in the same direction 3 times in a row. This effectively means that straight parts are excluded. The paths "curl" a lot.

I've actually had this issue here, a function that converts boolean expressions to strings. I don't want to omit the last operator check, even though it's the only possible case left: it breaks the symmetry of the code, and it is awkward. But with the check, TypeScript fails, and I need to throw.

Can someone explain to me this TypeScript error? The compiler already knows that the branch in the end never runs, so why does it still complain that it does not always return? Is this a bug or limitation of TypeScript? 🤔

Knight's Tour on a 16x16 board. It's so satisfying to watch, in particular the last few squares. (This is part of a collection of JavaScript exercises I have been compiling.) Warnsdorff's rule FTW.

What I never understood about Prettier is that it accepts different indentations of an object. This makes the formatting inconsistent. I assumed Prettier's job is to be opinionated about that? I don't even want to think about which version is better.

Slidorus is a torus-shaped twisty puzzle I made for the browser.
Play here: slidorus.xyz
Pieces move on a 9x9 grid, whose rows and columns can be shifted in either direction. Bandaging of pieces and rows makes the puzzle much more challenging. There is also a selection of preconfigured challenges.

Here is the JS code. In the CSS code I also set a transition on the transform property so that the movement is smooth.

Going inside the torus that I have shown recently. This is made with only CSS.

I just made a 3-dimensional tiled torus with #CSS only. 😀
Another showcase of how powerful CSS has become.

Did Amit ( @amitsheen.bsky.social ) already do something like this? Probably!
This torus is part of a browser game I am working on.

I have been cooking something: Raw SQL with generated types! 🪄 The database tables and queries in a folder are scanned to statically generate types for a query function. I don't like ORMs and query builders, but didn't like the type casting with raw SQL either. This might be a good alternative. 1/2

I came around a nice use case for the svelte:element component, which I never needed before. We show the preview of some entry, which is a link to the edit / details page when the user has sufficient permission, and otherwise a plain div. (Of course, check permissions also on the server.) #svelte
