Today’s talk with members of #SuperHappyDevHouse felt nice.
Some interesting question was, how do you solve problems in return for money?

Wow, Why Do You Hate Your Life That Much?

That is pretty hilarious 🤣
took a few attempts.. but i managed to do it in half the time!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de It took a little over a minute on my machine.. i should try to make it multi threaded.. 🤔

More snow photos from that day: https://lyse.isobeef.org/schnee-2023-12-03/
Last night it got much warmer (~6°C) than it was on the day itself (below freezing). That usually never happens. The snow melted and little avalanches came crashing down the roof. All the bangs scared the hell out of me last night.

With all M$’s apps being basically fancy web apps, there is no need to actually install any of their legacy applications locally anymore. Since I am online basically 100% of the time this turns my Office experience in a Chromebook like one. No installs, never outdated software. Just a yearly subscription contribution to worry about.
@prologic@twtxt.net Doing AoC competitively is super hard. I don’t enjoy this at all. I just happened to be quick these first few days. 😅
I rather set my own goals. Like the DOS thing this year. That is a lot of fun. 😊 (I just have to remember not to check the leaderboards. 🤣)

@prologic@twtxt.net The “game” will involve racing and exploding cake - I think he got inspiration from SuperTuxKart. So will see how far we can go. He’s only five still..
Oh man I haven’t even started coding yet 🤦♂️ This is fast becoming no fun 😢
Rediscovered how it’s possible to show/hide content on an HTML page without JavaScript, using a checkbox and some sprinkle of CSS magic.
… it just finished and brute-force worked. 18 minutes of computing time on my 11 year old machine, single-threaded.
@xuu@txt.sour.is I ask myself that question every year. 🤣
To be fair, the first part wasn’t really that difficult. If you have A LOT of experience with these kind of problems/puzzles and if you have a proper framework, I imagine it’s doable. (I, on the other hand, spent about 40 minutes just writing my C code to parse the input.)
Some of these people record themselves and then post it on YouTube. It’s pretty crazy to watch. 🥴
The second part of the puzzle, was/is pretty hard, though. At least for me, because I haven’t found “the trick” yet. I’m currently trying to brute-force it while having breakfast. 😅 (But given that it took ~8 minutes for the first person to get both stars, maybe they brute-forced it as well. With a faster machine and multithreading, ~8 minutes sounds about right. Brute-force is rarely the answer in AoC, though.)
@eapl.me@eapl.me It’s been a while since I used QBasic/QuickBasic, but yep, I remember the experience being quite similar. 😊
@eapl.me@eapl.me I have many fond memories of Turbo pascal and Turbo C(++). They really did have a great help system. And debug tools! Its rare for language docs to be as approachable. QBasic was great. As was PHP docs when I first came into web.
@jason@jasonsanta.xyz I got it. I was already asleep yesterday. 😅
Playing Oracle of Ages on Switch…
I’m not enjoying at all the Game Design. Has its moments, but nothing compared with Awakening or Minish Cap 😐

interesting part is that that Jr. is not used to work with dictionaries and tries to use it as an array. Has been an interesting challenge.
My #AdventOfCode2023 has been calculating statistics for manufacturing 😆
Today was processing a list of states (e.g. A from 6:40 to 7:25, B from 7:25 to 8:15) and getting what happened hourly from 6am to the next 24 hours.
Put timezones into the equation for more fun.
And finally explain all that to the Jr.
never used Turbo C++, although I have good memories of QBasic and QuickBasic.
The help was amazing. You pressed some F key on a keyword, and you got an explanation, example code and a kind of Wiki to keep exploring and learning…
