Q: Is it in the sequence? (sum of the first n cubes)

According to Nicomachus' theorem, the sum of the first n cubes is equal to the square of the nth triangular number. See this question for a visualisation. Your task today is to take an integer and determine if it is in the sequence of the sum of the first n cubes. I take the opportunity to say Ha...

@mousetail'he-him' how did the one person party go??

mousetail 'he-him'

We decided to just go the the city center and watch the firework show. It was actually fine.

Simd

@mousetail'he-him' sounds good

mousetail 'he-him'

We are going to try to organize games some other date, when the busses actually run

Simd

I was saddened to learn those firework displays are not as expensive as I thought

mousetail 'he-him'

They had mounted flame throwers on the sides of buildings in addition to the fireworks, I thought that was quite cool.

Plus a lot of lasers and spotlights

@mousetail'he-him' sounds amazing!

They also had a somewhat famous dutch singer doing live music, except he kept singing one line then going on a 5 minute rant in between

Simd

What was the rant about?

mousetail 'he-him'

Just about the city and new years and complimenting random audience members and stuff like that

Currently sitting in the airport and I just realized that I stuffed a bunch of free metal robotics parts I scavenged into my backpack and forgot to take them out. And they got through security just fine lmao

@lyxal Target here is a grocery store yeah, like a Walmart

Known for being a bad place to do shoplifting and for having large red concrete balls in front of the store

actually that first one probably isn't that widely known lol

wow my laptop is down to three hours of battery life on a full charge, it deteriorated fast

I'm both amazed it deteriorated that fast, in general, and amazed it was ever above 3 hours, as a gaming laptop owner 😭

soooo hoping I can get the money together for a normal laptop I can actually bring places and then replace this with a desktop rig once it's outlived its usefulness as basically a desktop in all but name anyways

CMC: Given a list l and an integer n such 0 < n <= length(l), return all ordered sub-arrays of length n of list l in any order. Eg. [1,2,3], 2 => [1,2] [1,3] [2,3].
