@@ -256,548 +256,548 @@ So at this point the organizer should hopefully show
00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:57.999
a small video I've prepared, a one minute video showing how
-00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.080
+00:03:58.000 --> 00:05:15.239
I actually use this to solve a cube and to time my solve.
NOTE Challenges: Representing the cube
-00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:22.959
+00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.508
Okay, so building this thing, there were several challenges.
-00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:24.959
+00:05:18.509 --> 00:05:20.508
The first one was how do I even represent
-00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:26.919
+00:05:20.509 --> 00:05:22.468
the state of a Rubik's cube.
-00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.959
+00:05:22.469 --> 00:05:25.508
For this there are many possible representations,
-00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:32.159
+00:05:25.509 --> 00:05:27.708
no obvious best solution.
-00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.079
+00:05:27.709 --> 00:05:29.628
I did not, well, what helped me was that
-00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:36.439
+00:05:29.629 --> 00:05:31.988
I did not have to programmatically solve this thing,
-00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:39.639
+00:05:31.989 --> 00:05:35.188
so I picked the easiest possible representation
-00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:42.719
+00:05:35.189 --> 00:05:38.268
which is just an array of every single facelet.
-00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.959
+00:05:38.269 --> 00:05:42.508
For a 3x3 cube you have 9 facelets on one side,
-00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:51.719
+00:05:42.509 --> 00:05:47.268
so times 6 sides you would have 54 elements in this array.
-00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.159
+00:05:47.269 --> 00:05:49.708
So with this representation, it's very simple,
-00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.839
+00:05:49.709 --> 00:05:52.388
but it's kind of weird to do scrambles with this.
-00:05:56.840 --> 00:05:59.359
+00:05:52.389 --> 00:05:54.908
But otherwise, it worked very, very well.
-00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.719
+00:05:54.909 --> 00:05:57.268
In the future, I plan to learn some group theory,
-00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.199
+00:05:57.269 --> 00:05:58.748
pick a better representation
-00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:05.639
+00:05:58.749 --> 00:06:01.188
and do this in a much, much more elegant way
-00:06:05.640 --> 00:06:12.319
+00:06:01.189 --> 00:06:07.868
without compromising speed too much.
-00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:15.159
+00:06:07.869 --> 00:06:10.708
Yes. Once I had the representation,
-00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.079
+00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:13.628
the scrambling itself should not be too hard.
-00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:22.199
+00:06:13.629 --> 00:06:17.748
For this, it's important to consider that basically
-00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:23.599
+00:06:17.749 --> 00:06:19.148
if you do a face turn
-00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.879
+00:06:19.149 --> 00:06:22.428
you end up swapping some facelets with other facelets,
-00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:30.479
+00:06:22.429 --> 00:06:26.028
that's the easiest way to think about this.
-00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.719
+00:06:26.029 --> 00:06:29.268
To determine which one goes into which one's position,
-00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.921
+00:06:29.269 --> 00:06:32.470
it was pretty confusing to figure this out.
-00:06:36.922 --> 00:06:38.759
+00:06:32.471 --> 00:06:34.308
For this I went through a few papers,
-00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:40.479
+00:06:34.309 --> 00:06:36.028
and I found one which suggested
-00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.399
+00:06:36.029 --> 00:06:37.948
to just build a cube out of paper,
-00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:44.479
+00:06:37.949 --> 00:06:40.028
number every facelet, and turn it
-00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.799
+00:06:40.029 --> 00:06:44.348
and keep track of which facelet moved into which position.
-00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.959
+00:06:44.349 --> 00:06:47.508
And programmatically, the `cl-rotatef` macro
-00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:53.839
+00:06:47.509 --> 00:06:49.388
was very, very useful for doing this kind of
-00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:56.079
+00:06:49.389 --> 00:06:51.628
in-place swapping you need for this operation.
-00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:59.319
+00:06:51.629 --> 00:06:54.868
So in the future, group theory would hopefully
-00:06:59.320 --> 00:07:02.439
+00:06:54.869 --> 00:06:57.988
make this a bit less awkward.
-00:07:02.440 --> 00:07:04.559
+00:06:57.989 --> 00:07:00.108
Here's a photo of this paper cube I made
-00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.319
+00:07:00.109 --> 00:07:03.868
along with a real cube. As you can see
-00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:11.799
+00:07:03.869 --> 00:07:07.348
mathematically speaking, they are the same thing,
-00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.719
+00:07:07.349 --> 00:07:09.268
they just look very, very different.
NOTE Scrambling
-00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.759
+00:07:09.269 --> 00:07:14.308
So the scramble algorithm itself,
-00:07:18.760 --> 00:07:23.879
+00:07:14.309 --> 00:07:19.428
I pondered how this would even be done. In the competitions,
-00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:26.039
+00:07:19.429 --> 00:07:21.588
They do this in a very, very elaborate way.
-00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.199
+00:07:21.589 --> 00:07:22.748
They generate a random cube,
-00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:29.839
+00:07:22.749 --> 00:07:25.388
they try to solve it, and if it's solvable
-00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:32.999
+00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:28.548
they use these solution moves
-00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.279
+00:07:28.549 --> 00:07:30.828
to turn into a scramble basically.
-00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:39.399
+00:07:30.829 --> 00:07:34.948
And they also make sure to canonicalize the moves,
-00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:42.999
+00:07:34.949 --> 00:07:38.548
so if you have subsequent moves that can be simplified,
-00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.039
+00:07:38.549 --> 00:07:40.588
they do simplify these as much as possible.
-00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.679
+00:07:40.589 --> 00:07:41.228
For example,
-00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.199
+00:07:41.229 --> 00:07:43.748
if you have two subsequent rotations in one direction,
-00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:51.119
+00:07:43.749 --> 00:07:46.668
it's turned into a different kind of rotation,
-00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.839
+00:07:46.669 --> 00:07:49.388
so 90 and 90 equals 180.
-00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:57.759
+00:07:49.389 --> 00:07:53.308
And the other Elisp scramblers I looked at,
-00:07:57.760 --> 00:07:59.559
+00:07:53.309 --> 00:07:55.108
they generate random moves.
-00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.959
+00:07:55.109 --> 00:07:57.508
Some of them do canonicalize. Not all of them.
-00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:05.359
+00:07:57.509 --> 00:08:00.908
This one tries to do the best low-fi thing,
-00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.839
+00:08:00.909 --> 00:08:02.388
that is, generating random moves,
-00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:08.479
+00:08:02.389 --> 00:08:04.028
canonicalizing and repeating
-00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:13.999
+00:08:04.029 --> 00:08:09.548
until enough have been generated.
NOTE Visualization
-00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.599
+00:08:09.549 --> 00:08:13.148
For the visualization I had to figure out
-00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:18.959
+00:08:13.149 --> 00:08:14.508
something else too complicated.
-00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:21.679
+00:08:14.509 --> 00:08:17.228
For this, I tried to figure out
-00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.319
+00:08:17.229 --> 00:08:19.868
where every facelift would end up in the puzzle view
-00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:25.879
+00:08:19.869 --> 00:08:21.428
when you would unfold it.
-00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:30.119
+00:08:21.429 --> 00:08:25.668
And for this, I did not consider the facelet orientation.
-00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.719
+00:08:25.669 --> 00:08:29.268
This may be important later for some other puzzles
-00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.599
+00:08:29.269 --> 00:08:31.148
where you can end up with very twisted faces,
-00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.479
+00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:33.028
but for simple cubes, it's not a problem.
-00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.759
+00:08:33.029 --> 00:08:36.308
My initial prototype used colored text,
-00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:43.199
+00:08:36.309 --> 00:08:38.748
but later, I used the SVG library.
-00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.039
+00:08:38.749 --> 00:08:41.588
It turned out to be easy enough to use, actually.
-00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:50.559
+00:08:41.589 --> 00:08:46.108
Currently, I have hard-coded face-color mappings,
-00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:53.559
+00:08:46.109 --> 00:08:49.108
but I plan to replace this so that theming is possible.
-00:08:53.560 --> 00:08:56.039
+00:08:49.109 --> 00:08:51.588
For example, if you happen to have a cube
-00:08:56.040 --> 00:08:59.140
+00:08:51.589 --> 00:08:54.689
that does not have the same color mappings as I do,
-00:08:59.141 --> 00:09:00.919
+00:08:54.690 --> 00:08:56.468
then you should be able to fix this.
NOTE UI with Transient
-00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:05.879
+00:08:56.469 --> 00:09:01.428
Next challenge was to build
-00:09:05.880 --> 00:09:08.399
+00:09:01.429 --> 00:09:03.948
a beautiful intuitive UI with Transient.
-00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:11.319
+00:09:03.949 --> 00:09:06.868
The reason why I chose this is
-00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.799
+00:09:06.869 --> 00:09:10.348
because it would be self-documenting and Magit-style,
-00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:16.799
+00:09:10.349 --> 00:09:12.348
and everyone knows how Magit works basically.
-00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:19.759
+00:09:12.349 --> 00:09:15.308
Since Transient has become part of Emacs,
-00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:21.679
+00:09:15.309 --> 00:09:17.228
there is really no reason to not try it out.
-00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:26.119
+00:09:17.229 --> 00:09:21.668
The problem was documentation is difficult to understand.
-00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:27.839
+00:09:21.669 --> 00:09:23.388
It's very abstract and high level,
-00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.319
+00:09:23.389 --> 00:09:25.868
and it's hard to figure out. "Okay,
-00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.239
+00:09:25.869 --> 00:09:26.788
I want to do something,
-00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.359
+00:09:26.789 --> 00:09:28.908
how am I supposed to do this?"
-00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.799
+00:09:28.909 --> 00:09:33.348
I did find transient-showcase, which has lots of examples,
-00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:40.079
+00:09:33.349 --> 00:09:35.628
but they don't really feel finished
-00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.519
+00:09:35.629 --> 00:09:39.068
and not realistic enough.
-00:09:43.520 --> 00:09:45.199
+00:09:39.069 --> 00:09:40.748
When I tried to use the package,
-00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.359
+00:09:40.749 --> 00:09:42.908
I got plenty of unhelpful error messages
-00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.559
+00:09:42.909 --> 00:09:44.108
when using it incorrectly.
-00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:50.399
+00:09:44.109 --> 00:09:45.948
I did manage to figure it out,
-00:09:50.400 --> 00:09:55.039
+00:09:45.949 --> 00:09:50.588
but I plan to find more actual examples of it,
-00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:57.879
+00:09:50.589 --> 00:09:53.428
to have an executable reference basically
-00:09:57.880 --> 00:10:00.079
+00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:55.628
and try to improve my use of it.
NOTE Book-keeping with SQLite
-00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.999
+00:09:55.629 --> 00:10:01.548
For the book-keeping, I used SQLite.
-00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.999
+00:10:01.549 --> 00:10:04.548
This is a very recent addition to Emacs,
-00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.759
+00:10:04.549 --> 00:10:07.308
it only appeared in the current major version.
-00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:13.839
+00:10:07.309 --> 00:10:09.388
It's still very early days.
-00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.479
+00:10:09.389 --> 00:10:13.028
I found some oddities, one of them turned out to be
-00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.279
+00:10:13.029 --> 00:10:14.828
a bug in the transaction macro.
-00:10:19.280 --> 00:10:22.039
+00:10:14.829 --> 00:10:17.588
Like basically, if you do an SQL transaction
-00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:24.639
+00:10:17.589 --> 00:10:20.188
and an error happens, then every helper I found
-00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:25.399
+00:10:20.189 --> 00:10:20.948
does a rollback on an error.
-00:10:25.400 --> 00:10:31.199
+00:10:20.949 --> 00:10:26.748
But this one did not. It actually committed on an error,
-00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.319
+00:10:26.749 --> 00:10:29.868
and this was very weird to figure out.
-00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.759
+00:10:29.869 --> 00:10:34.308
I reported a bug. Eli was nice enough to send me a patch.
-00:10:38.760 --> 00:10:39.879
+00:10:34.309 --> 00:10:35.428
We did some patch review,
-00:10:39.880 --> 00:10:42.439
+00:10:35.429 --> 00:10:37.988
and he ended up fixing it properly.
-00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:50.119
+00:10:37.989 --> 00:10:45.668
So yes, there's still a lot to be done there, and yeah,
-00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.359
+00:10:45.669 --> 00:10:46.908
the API is very basic.
-00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.359
+00:10:46.909 --> 00:10:48.908
You don't have convenience helpers
-00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.759
+00:10:48.909 --> 00:10:51.308
like fetch the first row or fetch the first value
-00:10:55.760 --> 00:10:58.880
+00:10:51.309 --> 00:10:54.429
or anything, but they're easy enough to write yourself.
-00:10:58.881 --> 00:11:00.820
+00:10:54.430 --> 00:10:56.369
And the biggest challenge with this bookkeeping part
-00:11:00.821 --> 00:11:02.479
+00:10:56.370 --> 00:10:58.028
was figuring out a decent schema,
-00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.599
+00:10:58.029 --> 00:11:00.148
like how to organize data correctly
-00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:06.799
+00:11:00.149 --> 00:11:02.348
so that it would not be awkward to manipulate.
-00:11:06.800 --> 00:11:10.199
+00:11:02.349 --> 00:11:05.748
And with this, you can finally build a package
-00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.839
+00:11:05.749 --> 00:11:07.388
that remembers its state properly
-00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.919
+00:11:07.389 --> 00:11:10.468
and don't have to run into foot guns
-00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:17.079
+00:11:10.469 --> 00:11:12.628
with Lisp-style serialization, deserialization.
NOTE Conclusion
-00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:22.639
+00:11:12.629 --> 00:11:18.188
So yes, that concludes it so far.
-00:11:22.640 --> 00:11:26.639
+00:11:18.189 --> 00:11:22.188
So what did I learn from this exercise?
-00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:28.959
+00:11:22.189 --> 00:11:24.508
Well, there are still plenty of packages
-00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:30.039
+00:11:24.509 --> 00:11:25.588
for Emacs to be written.
-00:11:30.040 --> 00:11:33.359
+00:11:25.589 --> 00:11:28.908
If you think everything you can think of
-00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.799
+00:11:28.909 --> 00:11:31.348
or you need has already been written, well, guess what?
-00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:36.239
+00:11:31.349 --> 00:11:31.788
No.
-00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.495
+00:11:31.789 --> 00:11:34.044
These are still plenty of specialized things
-00:11:38.496 --> 00:11:41.239
+00:11:34.045 --> 00:11:36.788
that could need your help.
-00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.239
+00:11:36.789 --> 00:11:39.788
These cubes do not require advanced mathematics,
-00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.599
+00:11:39.789 --> 00:11:41.148
contrary to what you may think.
-00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.159
+00:11:41.149 --> 00:11:44.708
Yes, you can apply advanced mathematics to them
-00:11:49.160 --> 00:11:51.919
+00:11:44.709 --> 00:11:47.468
if you want to, but you don't have to.
-00:11:51.920 --> 00:11:55.439
+00:11:47.469 --> 00:11:50.988
What surprised me about this is basically group theory.
-00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:56.519
+00:11:50.989 --> 00:11:52.068
I've heard of it before.
-00:11:56.520 --> 00:11:58.279
+00:11:52.069 --> 00:11:53.828
It seemed to be a meme, basically,
-00:11:58.280 --> 00:12:00.919
+00:11:53.829 --> 00:11:56.468
because it has been like mostly Haskell people
-00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:02.639
+00:11:56.469 --> 00:11:58.188
being very excited about this
-00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:06.959
+00:11:58.189 --> 00:12:02.508
and it seemed kind of, like, divorced from reality, basically.
-00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.399
+00:12:02.509 --> 00:12:05.948
But this puzzle, it actually proves that yes,
-00:12:10.400 --> 00:12:11.399
+00:12:05.949 --> 00:12:06.948
it has its use.
-00:12:11.400 --> 00:12:12.879
+00:12:06.949 --> 00:12:08.428
It definitely has.
-00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:15.839
+00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:11.388
You just have to find the right problem matching it,
-00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:17.919
+00:12:11.389 --> 00:12:13.468
and yeah.
-00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:19.839
+00:12:13.469 --> 00:12:15.388
So yeah, once I understand it better,
-00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.999
+00:12:15.389 --> 00:12:18.548
the topic, I expect to write better code.
-00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:28.919
+00:12:18.549 --> 00:12:24.468
These new Emacs features, they work well enough.
-00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:30.359
+00:12:24.469 --> 00:12:25.908
There are some rough edges.
-00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.879
+00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:27.428
They definitely need more testing.
-00:12:31.880 --> 00:12:35.119
+00:12:27.429 --> 00:12:30.668
So please, please, everyone,
-00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.999
+00:12:30.669 --> 00:12:34.548
if you write Elisp, please try SQLite or Transient
-00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.159
+00:12:34.549 --> 00:12:36.708
or anything else that looks cool and shiny.
-00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:42.919
+00:12:36.709 --> 00:12:38.468
Report bugs.
-00:12:42.920 --> 00:12:46.039
+00:12:38.469 --> 00:12:41.588
Find ways to improve them, anything. And yeah,
-00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:49.319
+00:12:41.589 --> 00:12:44.868
I'm sure that if we do this,
-00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.119
+00:12:44.869 --> 00:12:47.668
then Emacs will continue to get even better.
-00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.239
+00:12:47.669 --> 00:12:51.788
So yeah, what's next for this package?
-00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.439
+00:12:51.789 --> 00:12:55.988
Well, I could... There are lots of obvious UI improvements
-00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.799
+00:12:55.989 --> 00:12:57.348
and testing to be done.
-00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:04.159
+00:12:57.349 --> 00:12:59.708
I basically want to reach feature parity
-00:13:04.160 --> 00:13:06.879
+00:12:59.709 --> 00:13:02.428
with the twisty-timer app, which this is very much inspired by.
-00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:11.119
+00:13:02.429 --> 00:13:06.668
I want nice-looking stats like graphical ones
-00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.239
+00:13:06.669 --> 00:13:08.788
instead of just a simple list of times.
-00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.679
+00:13:08.789 --> 00:13:11.228
And I want support for more puzzles, of course,
-00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:16.999
+00:13:11.229 --> 00:13:12.548
not just the simple cubes,
-00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:19.039
+00:13:12.549 --> 00:13:14.588
but as I progress learning these puzzles,
-00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:22.519
+00:13:14.589 --> 00:13:18.068
I want to have Emacs supporting me for this.
-00:13:22.520 --> 00:13:26.879
+00:13:18.069 --> 00:13:22.428
But generally, it's a very open-ended package.
-00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:31.079
+00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:26.628
And this concludes the talk.
-00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.360
+00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:30.909
Thank you very much.
