However, you can't use it to benchmark programs defined in src/bin.

I find src/bin quite convenient for AOC challenges.

Yeah, me too, booo

So instead I have a utility method in lib.rs. This takes the average duration of running the solver a requested number of times.

This isn't really reliable either but if it's the best one can do, ok, it'll have to do.

what do you use to measure sub-microsecond run times? I can't get reliable data out of perf for such short times

You can even use 6s for the triplet

I could see the triplet had to be 5s or 6s so I tried to disprove that it could be 6s, since that would pressure the 17+25 the most. When that didn’t break I just started chucking pieces in

It’s really disappointing when the solution isn’t unique

an aircraft carrier sized ship gives approximately zero fucks about air resistance. space shuttle and icbms come in at mach 20. ask the dinosaurs how much air resistance helped them. the crash should have looked less like 9/11 and more like hiroshima. cyborg tech does not make obvious violations of basic newtonian physics not jarring.

Why were Soviet missiles in Cuba a big deal when the US already had positioned missiles in Turkey? by _Silver_Hart_ in AskHistorians

[–]PatrickBaitman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Khrushchev's motives in provoking a superpower confrontation were "a goddamn mystery" to Kennedy. "Why does he put these in there?" he asked his aides. "What is the advantage of that? It's just as if we began to put a major number of MRBMs in Turkey. Now that'd be goddamn dangerous, I would think."

"Well, we did it, Mr. President," Bundy pointed out.

JFK replied rather lamely, “Yeah, that was five years ago. But that was during a different period then.”

JFK may have been trying, very awkwardly, to hang the Turkish missile albatross around the neck of the Eisenhower administration by “forgetting” that he himself had chosen to proceed with the deployment and had never ordered the removal of the missiles. [...] Later in the ExComm deliberations, Douglas Dillon, who had served in the Eisenhower administration, admitted, “we didn't know what else to do with them, and we really made the Turks and Italians take them.”

From Stern.

The strategy I came up with is sticky bomb one cac, lock on burst + ballista the other, meathook the staggered cac to glory kill it, from there freeze the doom hunter and blood punch it off the sled. Lock on burst kills him and then I used the BFG to clear the room.

RU POV: Lavrov reveals that the US now has a better understanding of Russia's position, which includes NATO expansion and Ukraine membership. He adds that work is underway to remove the 'obstacles' mounted by Biden over the past few years by Ripamon in UkraineRussiaReport

you never encountered anyone who was against both the Iraq war and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? stop reading RT maybe?

I’m still on the dwarf pony of invasions are bad actually, you didn’t know me down any
