NQueens problem solved using backtracking in Elixir lang

In plain words

This is an implementation of the N-Queens problem using backtracking algorithms written in the Elixir programming language. It is designed for developers interested in algorithm solutions and functional programming. The project is hosted on GitHub and allows contributions from other developers who want to study or improve the backtracking approach to solving the classic N-Queens chess puzzle.

  Beating Pokemon Red with RL and <10M Parameters2025 · drubinstein.github.io · ▲183

  Hi everyone! After spending hundreds of hours, we're excited to finally share our progress in developing a reinforcement learning system to beat Pokémon Red. Our system successfully completes the game using a policy under 10M parameters, PPO, and a few novel techniques. With the release of Claude Plays Pokémon, now feels like the perfect time to showcase our work. We'd love to get feedback!

  Sameshi – a ~1200 Elo chess engine that fits within 2KBFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲230

  I made a chess engine today, and made it fit within 2KB. I used a variant of MinMax called Negamax, with alpha beta pruning. For the board representation I have used a 120-cell "mailbox". I managed to squeeze in checkmate&#x2F;stalemate in there, after trimming out some edge cases. I am a great fan of demoscene (computer art subculture) since middle school, and hence it was a ritual i had to perform. For estimating the Elo, I measured 240 automated games against Stockfish Elo levels (1320 to 1600) under fixed depth-5 and some constrained rules, using equal color distribution. Then converted…

  A fast command-line tool for solving Queens puzzles2025 · github.com · ▲5

  I've been hooked on Queens puzzles (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;games&#x2F;queens&#x2F;) for the last few months, and decided to try and build a solver for them. Rather than doing a traditional solution search, I tried to model it instead on how humans solve these puzzles, iteratively eliminating and confirming possible squares for Queens. And since this was a side-project, I decided to go overboard, and try and make it as fast as possible (avoiding HashMap&#x2F;HashSet in favor of bit fields, for example).

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
