I'm calling the modern history of the CCP "a ship on calm seas". It's easy to be popular when everyone is going from poor to rich. That will not continue forever.
Look at "Four Asian Tigers", people don't just constantly become rich for granted

In minesweeper online there's also a "no guessing" mode which, in my opinion, is much more interesting than the normal mode. It means that if you guess in a situation where you could have deduced the mines, you always get a mine. Conversely, if you really are in a guessing situation, you will never get a mine. I'm pretty sure the game calculates the unknown part of the map after each click anew.
I thought no guessing mode means the map is generated in such way that guessing is not needed to solve the whole board? (To those who didn't know the mode, it also forces you a starting point)
As an experiment, I tried clicking on a random position after clicking the starting point. And it is possible to that the position is safe. So I don't think the map in no guessing mode is dynamic.
Also in the help section: "In this mode, a starting position is provided, and you never need to guess to complete the board."

It looks like an unconstrained least square problem to me, which is convex and naive. Similar projects like reconstructing an image with transparent triangulars seems more interesting.

I guessed 00000 and won first go!
Same here.

That is classified as an edge use-case. Realistically speaking I don't think the point of this hastily whipped up demo was to be a replacement for google sheets.
Yeah but since it claims "any CSV file", and CSV files are widely known to be variate, I didn't expect it fails to work on edge use-cases.

Wow, food in China can be so hyperlocal that I thought surely this won’t include stuff that’s not know outside China, like Guilin Noodles, but its there just under a different name than what I expected.
In particular, going to Hangzhou and trying the food there opened my eyes to how varied Chinese food is. There were a lot of lightly cooked vegetables and thinly sliced meats with subtle flavoring and sauces, the opposite of what I thought of saucy heavily cooked stir fry.
I would assume Guilin Noodles are cousin of Vietnam Pho, based on the similarity of their ingredients and their geographic positions.
