After around 3 years, I managed to make my "smallest recognizable canine", even smaller. So here's the all new, smallest recognizable canine 2.0:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks, glad you like it, but sadly I’m not sure, if there’s still a way, for this particular project, to continue.
Reducing 38 pixels (previous smallest) to 27, inside of a 7x7 square canvas, is a result I’m really happy with. Now it seems I can only shave off single pixels and get a lot worse looking results - to the point it doesn’t even look like my mascot, to me.
There doesn’t seem to be a hard cap for drawing tiny dogs. It’s possible to arrange 5 pixels, in a way someone recognizes them, as some kind of a dog. The record for cats, is currently a single orange pixel: https://youtu.be/gzeK8NKuzmg
The only way to beat that, is either a monitor, with just a single red diode lit, inside one of its pixels, or an image file that’s broken and empty, on purpose.

@xuu That was one of the horror puzzles where I had to look for help. 🥴 I modelled my solution after this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDSooPLLkI (I can’t explain it better than the video anyway.) It takes a second on my machine and that’s with my own hashmap implementation which is probably not the fastest one.

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.
Chocolate and skumtomtar (literally “foam santas”, a marshmallow-like candy) are awesome. They’re even better with tea. And that combo becomes at least twice as good after a run, shower, and shave. True story.
Going to have my head shaved on 2020-09-26 for charity. Info
Can life be measured in bytes shaved off?

@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for formulapot, i definitely try an after shave as sonn as my stash is used up.

@kas@enotty.dk It uses the “normal” double edged blades. I’m not even sure there is another kind of blade in the market… :) #shaving
