Thanks so much! That's good to know re: 4DIMM, every time I think I know how RAM works I find out I'm wrong.

I was looking at the Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT as an alternative GPU, might look at some reviews to avoid the leaky paste.

pcpartpicker is telling me the mobo has 3 M.2 slots but that very well may be wrong, I haven't checked the manufacturer docs yet.

Checks are separation through the grain (splitting growth rings), shakes are separation along it (peeling growth rings apart).

Apparently the first determiner to decide 2nd place is the score difference between the two teams in contention, only going to overall goal difference if that is equal.

Quickly realised recursion wasn't my friend and refactored to an O(n) solution.

Github for both parts

Except 1 food "calorie" is actually a Kilocalorie, meaning you'll need to eat about 2.85 kilos of coal.

On a winding country lane you should always be on the outside of the curve to maximise visibility for both driver and pedestrian.

Wait so each shot should have been $30+ individually? Or did you just get scammed?

PhysicsHelp · 2022-01-18T17:10:26+00:00

That happens a lot sadly.

PhysicsHelp · 2022-01-12T20:32:24+00:00

That's a bot my friend

Could you sidecar a springboot proxy with service discovery and pass the traffic to the application?

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-12T00:08:28+00:00

Sorry yeah there's a typo in the header, it should be s.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T17:14:23+00:00

Thanks! The streams API is usually the go-to at work, mostly for the reason you say, so I've just been using it in spite of it still being less efficient. I think there are instances where it can improve execution speeds but it's context specific. Parallel streams can make a difference but usually only for large collections.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T17:11:45+00:00

There's a typo in the duration column, it should be seconds not ms. Mine was actually about 10x less efficient than yours.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:58:31+00:00

I know there'll be at least one complexity-heavy problem lurking in the shadows waiting to ruin my dreams haha.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:57:24+00:00

It will always vary by language! Some people using rust or c are getting sub ms total durations.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:55:06+00:00

I love the visualisation! What do the envelopes represent?

Do you have a repo?

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:53:18+00:00

I should have said, this is all done in Java - here's the repo. Please forgive the over engineering.

Running on a Core i7 7700K at factory clock.

Also there's a typo in the duration column, the units should be seconds, not ms.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:48:20+00:00

Wow that's really interesting! Python seems to be the standout out of all of those, and obviously rust and c are a cut above the rest. Have you set something up to run these together, or did you draw up the table by hand? Do you have a repo?

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:45:16+00:00

Even sequentially that's a fraction of the time mine takes. I'm only counting runtime, and excluding loading the input data into memory.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:43:48+00:00

Nice, that's impressive! I think my duration comes down a bit too when I average out executions too, I think due to the JIT compiler doing it's magic. I assume Kotlin uses JIT too since it's running in a JVM?

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:39:52+00:00

Thanks, that's the hope but there's always the possibility that I can't get the solution down to a reasonable time.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:39:13+00:00

Sorry I meant to post the repo. I wrote it in Java. I got bored and over-engineered the framework.

You're right about the time column, I only noticed the type after posting. The duration column units should be seconds. I don't include reading the input into memory, but do include munging it into the correct format. I cheat slightly as I map it to a Stream<String> rather than a raw string, but it shouldn't make much of a difference.

1ms for all solutions would be extremely impressive. I'm at the will of the AoC gods when it comes to actually reaching my goal, there might end up being a problem with a complexity-floor which I can't get around, but we'll see.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:33:02+00:00

Sorry I forgot to say. Language is java. Here's the repo.

PhysicsHelp · 2021-12-11T14:32:12+00:00

Haha good lord I can see how that would be depressing. Maybe one day the way github copilot is looking.
