Now I have yesterday's down to 7.3 seconds and it's still too slow

@Sterno I mean that's about the limit I hit

Q: Good items for Minecraft currency?

So I’m trying to make a currency on this Minecraft server, and I don’t quite know what to use. In a discussion on what item to use, emerald came up. Emeralds are used by villagers, but are otherwise not a good idea. Farms can easily be used to produce them, and they are an unlimited resource. Por...

@Wipqozn need 64-bit

Also, today's puzzle escalated quickly

I'm completely stuck on part 1, for the example I'm getting higher answers than the one they give

Matt E. Эллен

I'm sure todays can be solved by regex /s

but I am considering some kind of calculus

MBraedley

@MattE.Эллен Solved? No. Using? Yes, for parsing.

Matt E. Эллен

@MBraedley the right regex will solve any problem! they have lookahead and lookbehind now

MBraedley

Fuck it, I'm going to brute force part 2. It's only ~44000 possibilities

Ronan

I found my typo and it works now

Matt E. Эллен

12:16

yay!

I won't start on this until after work

Ronan

Yeah brute forcing didn't take long to run at all

MBraedley

12:45

Yeah, the problem can be sliced by first checking if the X velocity is even possible before checking a combination.

Probably didn't have to create a (very small) class, could have just used lambdas instead.

@badp AoC doesn't have partial credit / small data sets though

My co-op student is just finishing up her last day before heading back to the classroom in the new year. I'm going to miss having a co-op on my team, but it's only for 4 months.

@PrivatePansy no problem this year has been too large to bruteforce I think? except the polymers, or the dijkstra problems... but those had pretty obvious improvements on the bruteforce that were simple to implement
