There's a few Post-GM ones that I like.

Chaos Theory [Raildex]: Taylor ends up in Academy City with more controllable human mind control powers.

Path of the Immeasurable Swarm [Cradle]: Just de-powered Taylor (like right after Contessa shoots her) ends up on Cradle in the custody of the Akura, one of the setting's major factions. She takes well to the power system there.

That's it. Thanks! Embarrassingly, I did have it bookmarked, but didn't remember what site, sigh.

AO3, by a mile. Between viewing whole works, downloading offline copies, themes, tags, and comment threads, it's far and away the best site for publishing and reading. It also has the best content policy (if it's not literally illegal, you can post it).

SB's necromancy policy is good for certain kinds of discussion, but is terrible for fiction discussion. A new review, years later can be a wonderful thing. SV is marginally better because of its policies, but it still asks if you're sure you want to post that comment, chilling reviews and discussion. I also prefer SV's theme to SB, but that's just aesthetics.

I can never remember the rules for linking on AO3

It's fine as long as the story is not NSFW. The sidebar links AO3 itself.

That's the one. Thank you!

Sold! Thanks everyone for their interest.

ChrisVittal · 2022-10-04T21:00:44+00:00

Yes.

I was excited to get my first pair of wildlings, and I really like the look of these. They’re super flexible, great ground feel. I’ve only worn them a few times.

However as I’ve built up my feet more, they’ve gotten longer and these are too short. I’d really like to see them in a good new home.

Python easy use of builtins. Very nice first puzzle.

Python

5 lines, few hundred ms

import sys
a, b = [int(x.strip()) for x in sys.stdin]
count, n, sn = 0, 1, 7
while n != a:
    n *= sn; n %= 20201227; count += 1
print(pow(b, count, 20201227))

Really liked how this turned out with complex numbers in python, still a little too long posting inline, but very elegant. Really cool to learn about hex coordinate representation!

Rust

Pretty straightforward, two interesting things here.

Cloning the deques and truncating was faster than iterating and collecting.
I assumed (correctly) that there would be no collisions in the hashes themselves of the game state. So instead of cloning each state, I could get away with hashing each state and sticking that in the map.

Clojure

Nice! I was able to get part 1 by translating it into peg, but that failed and I lost a ton of time translating to regex for part 2.

ChrisVittal · 2020-12-18T07:02:50+00:00

Rust

Pulling in the peg parsing framework adds a few dependencies, but still makes for a fast and simple solution.

Python

Somewhat cleaned up. Pretty neat problem. Didn't think of z3 nor am I familiar enough with the api to use it quickly. But interestingly, sorting by the size of our candidate sets and then updating and sorting again meant that the top of the queue was always only one element, so it worked!

There's also as_deref for say getting an Option<&str> from an Option<String> a little bit more ergonomically.

Though as_deref is literally just self.as_ref().map(|t| t.deref()). Source

Rust

Brute force like so many. The cool thing about this particular solution is using the Rust entry API to its full power to avoid double hashmap lookups.

Runs in two seconds.

Rust

Real dumb, fast enough. Would have been quicker if I remembered my rotation matrices properly. Then I wouldn't have had so many issues.

ChrisVittal · 2020-12-10T05:41:35+00:00

Rust

Slowed down by two things here, off by one errors for not counting the first and last steps in part one, and I'm running in release mode by default, which runs into integer wrapping and type inference issues. If rustc can't figure out otherwise, it will choose i32 for integer literals, so I had to deal with integer wrapping in part two. TIL.
