@Unionhawk Brute force finished in 100ms.

Wipqozn

Well I'm happy I managed to deploy a lot of stuff already today

Because this obviously killed my productivity for the rest of it

I blame @InvaderSkoodge and @fredley in equal amounts

@BunsGlazing Programming languages all follow the same concepts. It's much like someone who is good at FPS games picking up a brand new FPS game and immediately being good at it.

Invader Skoodge

So far every single error in my code has been me using the wrong variable.

Also, I believe I just have to pick up a few things for my wife's stocking and then I am officially done Christmas shopping!

@Moacir Molex to SATA connectors catching fire is enough of a thing to where "Molex to SATA, lose all your data" is a phrase that auto-completes for me on Google.

Moacir

...I may need to check how mine is connected. I actually do not remember.

Seems like a build quality thing maybe?

Moacir

If I am using one, is the one that came with my ssd

Wipqozn

Well I got sidetracked, but that's day 1

when I realized how many times it looped I was all "huh okay, I'll do a lazy break of this list and just make a pos and neg one"

Then I realized nope actually, it's longer than I thought, let's do some hashing magic. And then my lazy mans way finished.

VICTORY!

Although I really want to redo day 1 part 2 to actually use a a smarter method of just looking for a hash collision, and then confirming the result matches

but for now I just need stars

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn I used C# HashSet which doesn't allow duplicates and returns false if you fail to add, which was fast

user15026

7:30 PM

Argh, I can't reply to my own messages? How ridiculous.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk yeah I'm using Python for it, and I wasn't familiar with it's hashing library... hence just going for the lazy mans list method at first

Moacir

@Moacir test?

user15026

(I wanted to add an update reply to my GFM message! We are at 60% of the goal to fix Norbert's teeth and this is making me SO HAPPY. I really do have the best friends.)

user15026

@Moacir Maybe it's because I was trying to do it from the transcript?

Moacir

If you manually add the code it works

user15026

7:31 PM

@Moacir Oh, like the message number?

Moacir

@Ash Yep

user15026

Sweet, good to know!

user15026

I figured there had to be some way around it.

Wipqozn

@MBraedley I have a late package that was finally supposed to arrive today. It's been out for delivery today, but still hasn't shown. Guess whose shipping it.

Moacir

Just do :48080599 and the message

Wipqozn

7:32 PM

Unless they're doing late deliveries then at this point I can only assume they just didn't bother delivering it, or it got lost on the truck

West Of Loathing, how to get cowbane seeds when Grady is in Dirtwater, I did not collect the seeds at the Tannery,I want to close the portal

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn it looks like set does the same in python

Maybe

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Yeah maybe. There's an actual hashlib I can use, I believe.

Unionhawk

It's unordered unique so I'm assuming add complains if it gets a nonunique

Wipqozn

Basically I googled "hashing python", then before I even clicked the first result the answer popped up

So laziness won the day

Unionhawk

7:35 PM

This day 3 is going to be fun

I don't

Hm

Invader Skoodge

Day 3 Part 2 was pretty neat.

Again, the main bug in my code was that I used the wrong variable name when trying to index an array.

Unionhawk

I have a list of fully parsed objects but now what

lol

user15026

@Moacir Sweet~

Moacir

@Unionhawk Check it twice?

user15026

@Wipqozn Canada Post? :(

Invader Skoodge

7:36 PM

My code to parse the objects is so hideous.

entry, data = line.split(' @ ')
entry = entry.split('#')[1].to_i
max_entry = entry if entry > max_entry
corner, size = data.split(': ')
i, j = corner.split(',').map {|v| v.to_i}
width, height = size.split('x').map {|v| v.to_i}

Wipqozn

@Ash ding ding ding

MBraedley

@Wipqozn Closed as cannot reproduce

user15026

@Wipqozn oh no :(

Invader Skoodge

Also parsing these files is a completely tedious and uninteresting part of the challenge.

Invader Skoodge

Ok, I just read through day 4 and I think I'm done doing these challenges.

Moacir

I already closed all my tabs, organized my workarea

MBraedley

@InvaderSkoodge Is there a specific language for these?

Unionhawk

no

I did 1-1 in excel

Invader Skoodge

@MBraedley No, it's like Project Euler. It gives you a page with a bunch of data which you write a program to parse and calculate, and then you enter an "answer" in the site.

If I do Day 4 I'm going to code my own Radix sort so at least something interesting comes of it.

Yuuki

@Unionhawk 🤔

murgatroid99

I might try that. I could take the opportunity to use a language I haven't use much. Maybe Pony.

Yuuki

Maybe it's the only game that made it through the Australian censorship boards this year?

Unionhawk

@Yuuki How

fwiu this game uh

hm

Invader Skoodge

I was expecting Pony to be a meme language but it's actually not.

murgatroid99

7:47 PM

I genuinely want to learn it because it looks really good for concurrent/asynchronous programming

Unionhawk

@InvaderSkoodge I did too considering there is a related meme language

well "related" as in "of a similar name"

I am no longer sure if I can brute force this or not

fredley

@Unionhawk which puzzle? Some cannot be brute forced and need to be mathed

Unionhawk

3-1

I think this is n log n, and I think that's 25 million for my current value of n

I think it's about to out of memory

yep there it goes

welcome back literally 53% of my memory

fredley

I just built a wxh array of ints and incremented for each square of fabric, overlaps are all squares n>1

Unionhawk

That's probably the way, the "or more" part is really killing my method here

quartata

@Unionhawk what the fuck

Unionhawk

8:52 PM

@quartata idk

fredley

Idk how you're failing in a memory way with this

Unionhawk

look, I thought I was going to be smart with rectangle objects and stuff

but as it turns out there are a lot of rectangles at play here

1217669 is a number I see, for example

that is not a small number

that is a big number

fredley

You're don't need to store the rectangles in memory, just the piece of fabric

Unionhawk

Well and also I apparently can't do that because there are a lot

and it's also dumb

to do

as well

fredley

9:23 PM

.

Unionhawk

got it

take that

memory

god

dammit

I knew I shouldn't have deleted all that other code

fredley

I have eaten
the rectangles
that were in
the memory

and which
you were probably
saving
for your program

Forgive me
they were delicious
so oblong
and so heavy

Unionhawk

actually that other code wouldn't have worked we're good

Invader Skoodge

@fredley I used a dictionary/hash rather than a matrix so it's sparsely populated.

fredley

I honestly can't wait to see uni try day 15

Invader Skoodge

9:28 PM

Each had a list of entries who claimed that square. Then I went over the whole map at the end and disqualified any claim that conflicted with another, leaving only one with no overlap.

fredley

I iterated over the rectangle locations again and accepted the first with no n>1

Unionhawk

@fredley ...
