@badp Yet another great language that lies about what it's data structures really are eh?

lol

I'm in the middle of a flamewar with one of those low level neckbeards about how stupid it is that I can't peek into a C++ queue

It's very stupid

Certified official room opinion

(in case you're not aware a C++ queue is by default a vector of vectors, a vector being some makeup on top of a C array, which means direct access to the nth element is basically two dereferences away, and in fact this is supported by the underlying deque object)

(C# System.Collections.Generic.Queue<T> does have peek and it's great for my intcode computer)

12:05 AM

we're doing this thing where we're using a different language every day so

it just so happens that this accidentally turned half of the days into C++ day

I'm using C# because I couldn't be assed to get another environment up and running on my work computer

murgatroid99

@badp But this is how APIs work. Users of an API aren't supposed to be able to count on implementation details and access object internals that aren't part of the API

And having less functionality in an API allows for greater flexibility in implementing it

@Ash the turkey one was for Alex and she inhaled the entire thing without breathing, pretty much

The rest were all pretty tasty except for the Tyrian pie crust pizza, which was...regrettable

You just need to do CPS 200 level data structures homework and implement your own queue

#include <blackjack.h> etc

user15026

@ToxicFrog it doesn't sound great lol

12:17 AM

@Ash for some reason the recipe specifies pie crust

@murgatroid99 and yet, queues require you to specify a backing implementation which must support operator[]

murgatroid99

@badp I did not realize that

I just was annoyed that I first wanted to use vectors, then they turned out to be wrong for my problem, and then I used deques, which required me to rename a bunch of calls, and deques started misbehaving in very odd ways, which gets me to using queues, which just work, but don't allow peeking

@badp do they? The spec says the container type for std::queue only needs empty, size, front, back, push_back, and pop_front

The default container type for std::queue<T> is std::dequeue<T> which does have operator[] but there's no requirement that you use it.

@Ash The uncanon that symbol and I worked out for this is that Tyrian "pizza" is the result of some traveler getting a look at (or perhaps hearing described) Terran pizza and trying to recreate it at Tyria, but starting with a base of "tomato meat pie" rather than "bread with stuff on it".

(gdb) call *(c->in)
$8 = std::__cxx11::list = {[0] = 1, [1] = 0, [2] = 0, [3] = Cannot access memory at address 0x10
(gdb) call c->in->size()
Python Exception <class 'gdb.MemoryError'> Cannot access memory at address 0x0:
Error while executing Python code.

12:22 AM

So, "oh, it's like a tomato meat pie but with the crust on the bottom and some cheese"

@ToxicFrog some sites say this, other sites say the type also needs to be a SequenceContainer

amusingly only some SequenceContainers support operator[] which makes the entire exercise of having this kind of abstract base tyres questionable

@badp SequenceContainer doesn't guarantee operator[] either. Some containers that implement it are also valid SequenceContainers but the reverse is not true.

I mean

none of those things is guaranteed by SequenceContainer

And FTR, g++ lets me instantiate a std::queue<int, std::list<int>> without even warning.

array gets a pass on all insert methods

basically the only thing it guarantees is front()

I find this entire patchwork of partial implementations to be representative of the entire dislike I'm having for this stuff

"we wrote most of this for you! we couldn't be bothered to write the rest! sorry! you can open the types if you really want! but we'll look down on you and call you names!"

12:30 AM

I mean, if you want to argue that C++ is painful to work in and C++ with just the STL and no boost or ABSL or the like is worse, I'm right there with you

And "C++'s addiction to letting you swap in custom allocators and backing stores to every single STL data structure causes more problems than it solves, like not being able to peek() a queue" is a position I largely agree with

that sounds mostly like my feelings, yes

as you might have noticed I've shied away from most of the fancy stuff

on that day where it asked me to find permutations of things I just looped every digit from 5 to 9 and asked that a != b && a != c && ...

instead of figuring out any of this double iterator bullshit

i think NZXT has fixed the issues with their CAM software, it's stopped saying my Kraken is on version 1 and that it's trying to detect the device when you go into the lighting options.......why is my Hue+ LED off? *checks firmware, Hue+ at version 1* grrr *reboots software, Kraken at version 1*.......had to jinx it

I made bacon onion mac-and-cheese!

I need more vegetables.

so I guess paste.ubuntu.com/p/P7ZP9gqKYG is a version of 16b not entirely unlike @Ronan's

while being single core it still seems remarkably slow

12:45 AM

It's possibly editing my array in place may have helped me

well

2 minutes 20 instead of 7 minutes something for the toy example

I'll take it

maybe I can be a naughty boy and just re-def things...

I'm still on day 3 @.@

I've been hacking on doomrl-server rather than adventing, mostly

day 3 is foundational

day 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 are build on day 3

wait no

they're built on day 2

nevermind

day 3 was really annoying

Huh, I thought it was the intcode interpreter that would be foundational, not the intersection-- aah, ok.

3a looks extremely straightforward, but ofc I don't have 3b unlocked yet

I did solve it in "just" 110 lines of prolog

12:53 AM

I'm doing everything in clojure this year

oh no

Oh no?

is there like a profiler for this thing? This shit is surprisingly slow

I've boiled it down to adding half a million numbers together 100 times

but even just the first half a million is taking over 8 minutes

over 11 minutes...

*5 million numbers

(apply + (range 5000000)) answers in like a second

so clearly I'm doing something HORRIFICALLY wrong

now (apply + (reverse (range 5000000))) takes significantly longer

This is probably something to do with how reverse realizes the entire seq, so you end up with two copies of the seq in memory; apply + likely handles lazy seqs more efficiently than realizing the entire thing

I was calling reverse twice

so I tried removing both calls

let's see if I get a correct answer on the toy problem...

1:07 AM

Note that (apply + (range 5000000 0 -1)) is just as fast as (apply + (range 5000000))

oh lol

paste.ubuntu.com/p/JDjcVBMWrv

this will print 0 to 100 very quickly then look like it's hanging

you uncomment the thing where you ask it to print some of the output on every step

and NOW it's only printing a step number as it gets to it

I guess that's one way to be doing lazy evaluation

just request data from the previous iteration only when really needed

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand removing the reverses made it twice as slow at 4 mins 14

(my solution was also unsurprisingly wrong)

or maybe my forcing the prints was making it slow

@Elise update to all of this drama: brother in law, who I thought was reasonable, has sided with parents in-law and tried to make my wife feel bad for not spending christmas with them

and he doesn't even know half the story, but he has heard a lot from the parents and he agrees that I have been rude to them

and it's 1am and I am too upset and angry to sleep

I wrote a very long message to him, against my wife's wishes. I just hope he doesn't try to use it as more fuel to harass my wife...

cc: @Ash and @Elva I suppose 🤷🏼‍♀️

user15026

Eeeergh Im so sorry.

user15026

offers hugs I hope it works out as safely as it can.

I just wish they would all stop harassing my wife while I'm not allowed to respond to anything

my wife is afraid that me saying anything will make it worse. I don't think it can get much worse

I won't say anything to her parents, because they won't listen to what I say anyway, but I'm hoping that her brother has enough sense to at least read my side of it all

and so much for "not wanting to get involved in it all", yet he messages my wife completely getting involved in it

UGH

my wife told me all this while I was home for lunch break and I was so upset, I forgot to take my HRT. I had to come home from work to take my pills because I was getting too worked up about all of this at work and my HRT pills have a very calming effect on me, lol

I never wanted my wife to fall out with her parents and I tried my best to avoid it. I did my best to keep them pleased, but they hated me from day one, they just acted like they were cool with me

this whole thing makes me want to punch something, but having such thoughts makes me dysphoric and it's all just ugh

user15026

Oh hun, what a damn mess. Im so sorry you are stuck in this awful situation. You tried so hard - it's not your fault they are being awful. I hope he hears what you have to say and understands, but if not...i just hope they leave you both in peace

Yeah... Thanks, I'm glad I have this place to vent and someone to listen to me :)

a question to any transgender women here who have came out to their parents and was accepted by them. how did you bring up the subject to your parents?

@Elva i don't think my mum needs to be eased into it, the other day she was saying she if any of her kids was transgender she would be fine with it but she says the same thing about any of her sons being gay

To be fair that wasn't intentional and I hadn't accepted myself as being trans then eeeeiiiither sooo

I was at the "gender is hard" stage

12:21 PM

But she does seem to be ok with it even if she's still working on changing name/pronouns.

Yeah today was a tricky one

Part one was easy enough, and I did part 2... by inspection

Yeah that probably would have been easier

You mean like how I did my 15-1?

Type out the sequence, use code editor match highlighting to trivially identify A,B,C

manually convert to ascii

you have no guarantee that would be enough though

I'm still the top north american on the private leaderboard so

I was already worrying about "maybe I need to introduce inefficiencies in the path to make the thing pack better"

        110,10
    ];

ez

or how I could do the thing by inspecting the longest results of (.+?).+?\1.+?\1.*

I'm sure that regex will run very efficiently

1:52 PM

@badp That's not a bad idea, but I fixed my version by keeping track of my leftovers.

@Memor-X this kinda sounds like she might already know. It doesn't sound like something parents normally bring up unless they think their child might need to hear it

I came out to my mother with a long message on messenger. She lives in the other side of the ocean, so idk if of be able to do it in person 🤷🏼‍♀️

I prefaced it with "you know how when you were pregnant you thought you're having a girl? Well..."
