Q: Sync Sims 4 saves across multiple computers?

I play The Sims 4 on both my laptop and my computer, however my progress on either of these is not reflected on the other. Is there any easy way to do this within Windows or is there a way to enable cloud saving?

These lanternfish sure are frisky

7 days? My word.

I hope I'll have time for this one today. See if I can whip it out before my plans.

Actually maybe I'll shower first, although not even sure if my plans are on yet.

Ronan

It's a nice and simple one today, part 2 is just checking you did part 1 correctly

Matt E. Эллен

oh, if I can beat @fredley at advent of code, I might start

Wipqozn

10:42 AM

@MattE.Эллен Do it. Let's show that porkchop who's boss!

@Ronan I did it a very lazy way, so I'm just going to let this run while I shower. Currently on day 132!

Ronan

Haha, always an option

Wipqozn

10:58 AM

Day 142!

Also my computer is dying haha

python is using almost 5GB of ram right now

Elva

That's a lot of memory

Also hai

Wipqozn

Fucking lanternfish man

I might need to do this the non-lazy way, but I won't have time to do anymore coding before I leave probably.

day 143!

Okay I'll need to do this the proper way later.

1 hour later…

@Wipqozn I realized immediately that using the brute force approach would break down for part 2.

So I took the data structures approach and it completed very fast.

1 hour later…

Wipqozn

1:55 PM

Okay done in the non lazy way

Although still easy. Actually might've been less work haha. I just like making classes.

Half the length of my original solution

Ronan

Wait, how did you manage any classes?

Wipqozn

@Ronan I made a class to simulate each fish, and another to simulate the swarm of them: github.com/Wipqozn113/adventofcode/blob/main/2021/day6/p1.py

For part 2 I just dida whole new solution using dictionaries

Ronan

That's a private repo

Wipqozn

It is? haha whoops!

Ronan

You made a class, for a single integer?

Wipqozn

1:58 PM

Must be private by default

Should be able to view it now

It's very overengineered. Second solution is way simpler and faster.

I also should've just counted the new fish as I went. OH WELL.

My plans kind of get turned upside down so I was just trying to rush something out knowing that at any minute I might need to run out the door. Also I'm really lazy.

Ronan

I like this kind of problem, there was one I remember using marbles that was going to take multiple hours to run but a refactor got it down to a few seconds

fredley

2:40 PM

@Wipqozn I know :( Too busy so far

Might try and catch up at some point

Q: How do you divide the Muzzarella pizza into 7 parts?

The current Google doodle in my region is about dividing pizzas into different numbers of slices. I am stuck at level 5 where you have a to divide a Muzzarella pizza into 7 slices using at most 3 cuts. How do I do that? I think I need to get to the state where I have 1+3 slices and then double t...

Wipqozn

@fredley I certainly understand that feeling. I've only done so many days so far because I'm off work until January. It's pretty rad.

MBraedley

@Ronan The only class I've written so far is for the bingo cards

Unionhawk

4:00 PM

Yeah I did a BingoBoard class and a MatrixExtensions

SaintWacko

4:14 PM

@MBraedley Oh, that would have been a good place to use a class

I just had an array of numpy arrays

Unionhawk

github.com/evanc5/advent-of-code-2021/blob/main/Day04/… is mine

yes I stole GetRow and GetColumn from SO

but I did make it slightly different making them extension methods, signatures public static T[] GetRow<T>(this T[,] matrix, int rowNumber)

Also yes GetDiagonals is not only not necessary but in fact only works for a 5x5 matrix but I'm not fixing it

Q: How can I fire the SFAR-M GL granades?

I unlocked the SFAR-M GL rifle and I can choose between different grenade types in the customize menu. When equipped with this rifle, how can I use this grenade launcher?
