Why did I have to check chat? Now I'm doing AOC challenges
Only done through day 3 but the hardest problem was so far when I typoed and answer into the form and then spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how my code was wrong
I just spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out why I got the first half of the bingo one wrong but not the 2nd half, and it's because i didn't read closely enough and thought diagonals counted. Bah
Headup for EU players, be very aware if you want to buy the console BOI Repentance of Isaac dlc
Apparently due to mess up between the companies that handled the original physical edition of Afterbirth and now Nicalis with the Repentance DLC, the thing currently does work only on the Nicalis digital download base game and NOT on the physical one.
This can end up in borderline scam on the Nintendo store. From what I see the page you get if you try to buy the thing directly on the switch does indeed include a warning that the DLC only works on the digital edition of the game. The web site you get from a PC doesn't seem to include that line.
Also, please be careful even if the issue is resolved. Due to past localization mess and EU physical edition AfterBirth getting huge delays, many EU stores including Amazon sold the US version.
And "obviously" because reasons games may be region free, but dlc still aren't (can make sense due to localization in some cases, much less in others).
So, even if the main issue get solved, check the region of you game before buying anything.
First time getting Minecraft Java, if I try to open the launcher, it gives me this error:
Minecraft Launcher is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001
I'm pretty sure I'm signed into...
and then even after I wrote it smarter the built-in .Sum() function in linq couldn't handle numbers that large so I had to add some numbers up in my own foreach like a peasant
I did try to use a newer VS but with the correct target framework but it caused problems because the IDE would happily tell me things were fine that weren't
I had private List<long> Fish { get; set; } and Fish.Sum() was throwing ArithemeticOverlfowExceptiosn until I just wrote public long GetFishTotal() { long total = 0; foreach (var count in Fish) { total += count; } return total; }
Finally around day 5 I just said "fuck it" and actually started always running against the test data first
Although those bingo diagonals (that I was doing but shouldn't have) were the worst because my solution worked with part 1 and 2 of the test data and part 1 of the real data
Today's puzzle seemed like one of the easiest because it was so easy to just brute force it
(honestly I'm not even sure what other approach to take)
