are these projects you created?

@eapl.me@eapl.me the 24th of June 2002 was a pivotal year in my life.

Found some additional context. This was filmed as a ‘skit’.. Though still not very safe as there is a slight lag from what is displayed on the visor I have heard.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de the location is real. A few in the ‘hood mentioned seeing this person directly. They live somewhere on the hillside in the background of the video.

seen near my house..

@prologic@twtxt.net pretty nothing berger. The “blowout” was pretty tame coming from Linus kill yourself now. The world will be a better place” Torvold.

The issue was a dev making a “fix” that didn’t have a documented problem. They reused some specific low level functions they did not understand the reason they were made.

@prologic@twtxt.net ahhh! Its the dark reader plugin breaking the page.

@prologic@twtxt.net why am I getting this on your git?

Twtxt spec enhancement proposal thread 🧵

Adding attributes to individual twts similar to adding feed attributes in the heading comments.

https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/17

The basic use case would be for multilingual feeds where there is a default language and some twts will be written a different language.

As seen in the wild: https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt

The attributes are formatted as [key=value]

They can show up in the twt anywhere it is not enclosed by another element such as codeblock or part of a markdown link.

Not a fan of this one because the only context is machine readable.

@eapl.me@eapl.me: [boost]

Ha, this is cool. Has its flaws, although is easy to remember.

Trying out a boost format. seems better with text after….

@sorenpeter@darch.dk this makes sense as a quote twt that references a direct URL. If we go back to how it developed on twitter originally it was RT @nick: original text because it contained the original text the twitter algorithm would boost that text into trending.

i like the format (#hash) @<nick url> > "Quoted text"\nThen a comment
as it preserves the human read able. and has the hash for linking to the yarn. The comment part could be optional for just boosting the twt.

The only issue i think i would have would be that that yarn could then become a mess of repeated quotes. Unless the client knows to interpret them as multiple users have reposted/boosted the thread.

The format is also how iphone does reactions to SMS messages with +number liked: original SMS

@eapl.me@eapl.me this is interesting. Is the square bracket something used in the wild for multilingual twts?

@prologic@twtxt.net what are your thoughts? Should we extend the parser to handle [lang=] and [boost] ? Or a generic attribute spec. Single word is a boolean attribute. And one with an = is a string key/value.

@eapl.me@eapl.me kinda like the format for markdown images? ![alt](url 'title') ?

What? You are still using chrome? Firefox is where its at. But if you need WebKit there is always chromium which strips out all the google nonsense.

When I built I had a blue conduit installed from outside in to the util room.

Laser all the way. Inkjets are cheaper to replace the printer than to buy the ink for a reason.

Are they doing fiber to outside with ether in? Or will it make it inside the house?

It would help for UX for sure. emoji keyboards are hard to come by on the desktop.

:waves:

@prologic@twtxt.net nope.

@prologic@twtxt.net what?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I have read the white papers for MLS before. I have put a lot of thought on how to do it with salty/ratchet. Its a very good tech for ensuring multiple devices can be joined to an encrypted chat. But it is bloody complicated to implement.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org i first learned about it from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JxvKfSV9Ns&pp=ygUOZmlib25hY2NpIGhlYXA%3D

and this site: https://www.programiz.com/dsa/fibonacci-heap

So, I finally got day 17 to under a second on my machine. (in the test runner it takes 10)

I implemented a Fibonacci Heap to replace the priority queue to great success.

https://git.sour.is/xuu/advent-of-code/src/branch/main/search.go#L168-L268

@prologic@twtxt.net What I did as a work around for mattermost was hijack the gitlab oauth login with my own auth server.

OH MY FREAKING HECK. So.. I made my pather able to run as Dijkstra or A* if the interface includes a heuristic.. when i tried without the heuristic it finished faster :|

So now to figure out why its not working right.

i am wondering if maybe i need a better heap like a btree backed one instead of just list sort on Dequeue.

I found a bug where i didnt include an open/closed list that seemed to shave off a little. right now it runs in about 70 seconds on my machine.. it takes over the 300s limit when it runs on the testrunner on the same box.. docker must be restricting resources for it.

I might come back to it after i work through improving my code for day 23. Its similar but looking for the longest path instead of shortest.

man… day17 has been a struggle for me.. i have managed to implement A* but the solve still takes about 2 minutes for me.. not sure how some are able to get it under 10 seconds.

Solution: https://git.sour.is/xuu/advent-of-code/src/branch/main/day17/main.go
A* PathFind: https://git.sour.is/xuu/advent-of-code/src/branch/main/search.go

some seem to simplify the seen check to only be horizontal/vertical instead of each direction.. but it doesn’t give me the right answer

I have been doing interview prep for next year. The problems have been great to get practice and make it fun when compared to the dry solve this you get on hacker rank or code scene.

That and so many great write-ups to explain the problems.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think there is a problem related to the fitting around a corner that is unsolved. I watched a video about it a little while back.

Moving sofa problem

I found these write-ups for advent of code. They are quite well done and a great learning resouce for algorithms!

My linux installs all have TPM enabled. …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So.. i eventually made it to the end on this one.. was able to reuse code from days 8 and 9!

Spent some time getting my air sensors tied together into a dashboard. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de so the pathfinding puzzle has arrived?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you are probably right.. there seems to be a final 10 trend found over on Reddit.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de tossing around inline ASM for the AoC..

In the holiday spirit i have donned my Santa hat. (shamelessly stolen from @movq@www.uninformativ.de)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I wish they just muted them out instead of making it an awfully loud meep sound.

Around and around you go. When we sync up? Nobody knows!

With the global ordering for our private leader board we are all 1st place winners!!

I have been really impressed with the cool visualizations in pygame that @gereleth over on Twitter has been making. #AdventOfCode

@prologic@twtxt.net day 6 is super easy if you have int64 and some binomial theory. Skip ahead for the easy stars and catch up!

Oh.. Right. Need subtract and divide too for the binomial

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it shouldn’t need a full bignum implementation right? Just some left and right shifts for the sq/sqrt and carry for the addition right?

So today’s #adventofcode was solved with no programming. Just a bit o maths and wolfram/alpha
