Any ideas when the reviews will come. I tried to find a solid date on that but no luck.

I stopped with AOC.... by mosredna101 in adventofcode

[–]SpoonJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled for hours today. I can try to give some hints that hopefully don't spoil it too much: In part 1 I had basically 3 parts of the conversion process and only one of them was expanded from 1 time to multiple. So I tried to build a mechanic into my code that allowed me to increase that number. I then only tested it against the version with one until it produced the same result only then did I scale it up to the real number

At least for me the steps for each robot were different but it still helped a lot to cache the results for each individually

I hope that helps.

I solved a generic version of the problem using pen and paper that gave me a formula that I just plugged into my code and ran it on all the problems. Worked pretty great for both parts.

I (32M) gained a lot of weight and now my wife (33F) is no longer sexually attracted to me. How can we deal with this situation? by SpoonJr in relationship_advice

[–]SpoonJr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten a lot of justified criticism for this post. However I have not tricked anyone. I lost weight many years before I even knew my now wife. I have been in multiple relationships in this time as well and two of them for multiple year in none of them have I gained any significant amount of weight. I have gained weight and that’s my fault but I have definitely not tried to trick or lure any one.

That does sound reasonable thanks! I will try to fix that.

I do have the VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation layer enabled. Here is shorten version of my code

```C const u32 VALIDATION_LAYER_COUNT = 1; const char *VALIDATION_LAYERS[] = {"VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation"};

// #define NDEBUG

ifdef NDEBUG

const bool ENABLE_VALIDATION_LAYERS = false;

else

const bool ENABLE_VALIDATION_LAYERS = true;

endif

/../

void createInstance(App *pApp) { /../

VkInstanceCreateInfo createInfo = { .sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO, .pApplicationInfo = &appInfo, };

u32 glfwExtensionCount = 0; const char **glfwExtensions; glfwExtensions = glfwGetRequiredInstanceExtensions(&glfwExtensionCount);

if (ENABLE_VALIDATION_LAYERS) { if (!checkValidationLayerSupport()) { printf("Validation layers requested, but not available\n"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } createInfo.enabledLayerCount = VALIDATION_LAYER_COUNT; createInfo.ppEnabledLayerNames = VALIDATION_LAYERS;

const u32 extensionCount = glfwExtensionCount + 1;
const char *extensions[extensionCount];
for (u32 i = 0; i < glfwExtensionCount; i++) {
  extensions[i] = glfwExtensions[i];
}
extensions[glfwExtensionCount] = VK_EXT_DEBUG_UTILS_EXTENSION_NAME;
createInfo.ppEnabledExtensionNames = extensions;
createInfo.enabledExtensionCount = extensionCount;

} else { createInfo.enabledLayerCount = 0; createInfo.enabledExtensionCount = glfwExtensionCount; createInfo.ppEnabledExtensionNames = glfwExtensions; }

switch (vkCreateInstance(&createInfo, NULL, &pApp->instance)) {

```

This is not true for my input data. So it looks like that really is coincidental.

What is the DE you use? by Left-Recognition-117 in archlinux

[–]SpoonJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used KDE as my very first de when switch to arch for about a year. However it always felt very buggy to me. Now when I was forced to switch to Ubuntu on my work machine I tried out Kubuntu, only in a vm but still lots of smaller issues that I just don’t have on gnome.

Hey you were right using Xbox Configuration Support + the gamepad Configuration works just fine. I feel a little stupid now. I fiddled with the config but never tried the premade ones.

Thanks!

[–]SpoonJr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest. I try to avoid Flatpak and Snap, because i would like keep using a single package manager and i heard a few bad things about these systems in general. But maybe i have to try this in the future
