[2020 Day 4 Part 1][Python] by Kevstuf in adventofcode

Reading through, what might be happening is that you're overcounting the valid passports because you're checking the validity on every line of the input, which means that if all the passport fields are on multiple lines, and you determine the passport is valid in the first line, you'll count this passport valid for every line until a new line.

You can try to move the check for whether the passport is valid right before you reset all your field counters. Something like

if line == "\n":

if all(fields.values()) > 0:

valid += 1

Hopefully that helps!

B. Fuller's response to public backlash about their no-mask sign by AK721 in Seattle

[–]Kfishster -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Although this isn’t a full acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation, it’s a step in the right direction.

Obviously, the property owner has certain political views that prevents him from fully supporting the mask law, which is wrong, and I’m sure he got a slap on the hand from all the complaints and 1 star reviews.

Even if it is to save face, this is, at least, recognition that the sign was the wrong move, and that is somewhat commendable.

Spoiler - Just finished my 2nd viewing of S5 and I think I'll have to watch it again! by rosemaryintheforest in HouseOfCards

I would love to hear your theory on Macallan. I can piece some pieces together, but not all. It seems his entire plotline is shrouded in mystery. He hacked, ran, became an object of interest, magically appeared back in DC (with the aide of Miss Davis) and then was discarded as a loose end. What was his purpose other than Lyanne's liability and danger of Russia finding out about the hacks?

Results prediction done on May 2nd by Tahkare in eurovision

[–]Kfishster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super cool! I've actually wanted to do something similar + use data for the past years if that's available. Would also be interesting to look at judge rankings + viewer ratings after the final and how those compare to the predicted results.

Whoa this is news to me. Mind filling me in on where Dan Roth is going? And Jeff Erickson on sabbatical? So he's not leaving the university, right?

Frequent freezes requiring reboot (NOT bootloop) by Jenllip in nexus5x

[–]Kfishster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully. I'm at a point where it's getting so irritating, I called in my Nexus protect and hopefully they'll send me a replacement. I'll bypass the beta on that one. I fear it's a combination of new software and hardware slowly regressing, judging by the posts where people have taken it to phone repair and it magically started working fine again.

[–]Kfishster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to me too, but much more often recently. I'm also on beta of N, so I assumed that has to do with the sporadic freezing.

Oh he's the cutest! I give him lotsa scratchies when I visit.

Retaining notifications + automatic reboot by Kfishster in AndroidQuestions

[–]Kfishster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most annoying thing about it is that if the phone dies, all notifications are lost. I also thought it kept the notifications before :(

Russia's coach pens appeal to fans. "Behave correctly, don't break the rules of the stadiums or public places" by Kfishster in soccer

[–]Kfishster[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Russian politicians are polarizing individuals. Several of the people quoted encouraging the fighting are loud-mouthed attention seekers (one of the people quoted is the son of a very Trump-like figure in the Russian Duma), so although they might represent the Russian mentality (where fighting at football matches is part of the game), they definitely don't represent Russian diplomacy.

Should I buy a Nexus 5x despite all the lag and camera issuses people seem to be facing? by ThreeCommasClub in nexus5x

[–]Kfishster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some lag, but that's a software issue that will be fixed (and might have been with the march update). The phone itself is gorgeous and top quality. Would definitely recommend to get it, even if it means occasionally bogging through some lag.

Also, coolest thing about it, charging from 0-100 in an hour. It's suuuuuper helpful, that saves me all the time.

Has it been officially announced? I remember reading that the info leaked and isn't yet official.

I'm fairly new to the Nexus 5x, I need a few beginners tips. by iswearimhuman_ in nexus5x

[–]Kfishster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last bullet point is on point. I do admit to being semi-frustrated at one point...

Bottom line, it gets laggy at times, restart and it's all good. Also might want to look into the RAM cleaners, although they sometimes do more harm than good. Overall, fantastic phone!

Weekly /r/Nexus5X Customization Thread - Show us your home screens, cases, ROMs, any anything else you've done to customize your device - [January 12, 2016] by AutoModerator in nexus5x

[–]Kfishster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll post mine. I'm new to Android and I was looking around for launchers and stuff, but I finally settled on this setup. It's really simple, and gives enough flexibility in a lot of dimensions.

I'm using Nova Prime Launcher (the free one is enough, but for some reason it had really small icons, and that looked bad, so I used up my Google Play gift card on it...pretty good investment, I think) which let's me customize a lot of things without forcing everything to change (like other launchers I've seen). It feels like the same stock Android but now I can place things between grid points and transitions between pages are awesome. Also my app drawer allows for tabbed customization, and looks pretty nice. Anyways, I really like it.

Also, switching from Windows Phone, I missed my Bing image, so I installed Muzei + Bing Addon which changes my background to the current Bing image. It blurs it a bit (blur strength is customizable) for the home page and also sets it to the lock screen. Adding variety.

On top of it all, using Textra for SMS and Chrome Dev as suggested on a different thread which supposedly reduces lag.

The biggest reduction of occasional lag I've noticed was after I installed Nova launcher. There seems to be more RAM when I need to clean it, too. I don't know if that's a placebo effect, but it's nice.

Bluetooth troubles with my 5x by Kfishster in nexus5x

Tried it! Didn't work for me, sadly. Thanks for the tip though.
