Today’s case: minimising a failure case for rustdoc so I can submit a nicer bug report. It’s already cut through 90+% of this crate already. Especially with inline-crate (github.com/jaybosamiya/...), I don’t even need to cut down to a single file by myself, I can just let it handle it all

I am once again extolling the virtues of creduce. It has saved me so much debugging time in so many scenarios. Doesn’t even matter if what I’m reducing is not C, it just munches through it and simplifies inputs like crazy

Good video, well paced and explained in a very understandable way There’s also the pragmatic solution of “make the spatter a child of the goblin / sibling of the goblin sprite” but yeah the Math behind the transformations was explained beautifully

Optimal under the constraints of being only 3 rational numbers under 1. I conjecture that the real optimal one is at four gears exactly, but I have no proof of optimality. 2/26 * 7/21 * 12/16 * 13/15 = 1/60
100
Jay Bosamiya @jaybosamiya.bsky.social · 26/07/2025
Ah @mlhomsi.bsky.social found this same optimal one under these constraints!
220
Jay Bosamiya @jaybosamiya.bsky.social · 26/07/2025
Also one downside to the original 3 rational number solutions is that not all are less than 1. If you want that constraint too, optimal is: 5/30 * 7/28 * 10/25 = 1/60
120
Jay Bosamiya @jaybosamiya.bsky.social · 26/07/2025
By using more rational numbers (and allowing repeats) you can push it even lower: 2/10 * 3/9 * 4/8 * 4/8 = 1/60 Given the additional context I suspect you are not looking for repeats though?

Jay Bosamiya @jaybosamiya.bsky.social · 26/07/2025
1/20 * 3/18 * 14/7 = 1/60
