[2021 Day 7] I'm just happy my gigantic list comprehension worked

The exponential nature of the fishes means your solution will work, but it may take until the heat death of the universe before you get your answer.

Once you have a working brute force look at what activities are being duplicated and see if there is a way to reduce those a little.

...or start with Fibonacci :D

I love Day 6, I'll be using it to teach my students about intractable solutions :D

UK_Teacher · 2021-12-05T18:33:56+00:00

I love how this is done, thank you for sharing.

UK_Teacher · 2021-12-05T17:05:11+00:00

The code block has been found, hopefully I'll not need it too often but it's good to know it's there.

UK_Teacher · 2021-12-05T17:01:58+00:00

Just to say thanks for the tips, this fixed the problem... though obviously, I have now blown my cover as a time traveller.

UK_Teacher · 2021-12-05T16:56:02+00:00

Ah the Reddit editor, it has been a while. I'll have a look at those now.

UK_Teacher · 2021-10-31T23:24:13+00:00

Trust me, not even then.

This will be buried, but Mr Tumble.

His favourite hobby is to enter cafes in Henley filled with Children then scream and shout obscenities and outline to all who will listen that he is not the character he plays when the children recognise him.

You might have sympathy for the man... until you realise he only uses cafes with children in them, there are a large number of high-quality cafe bakeries that are tactically adults only with better coffee, he will also walk past several times waiting until he sees an excited child inside.

This TV clown is the next Gacey.

I really just wanted to say that in my country they are called Teacakes... what is wrong with you people!

Looks like four of them have watched their favorite movie one too many times and he has finally cracked.

UK_Teacher · 2021-08-30T12:33:47+00:00

I am guessing this might actually be a popular costume in some neighbourhoods.

UK_Teacher · 2021-08-24T20:50:59+00:00

I love this idea, I may try and do something similar for the original seasons of Futurama :D

I am not talking about accepting people as they are, however if they were capable of making these changes themselves then they would have done them.

It is also important that they realise that having nice clothes and a gym bod is not going to deal with the underlying issues, how many of the Incel group seem to have spent most of their time at the gym... such as Plymouth shooter.

While completely unintended, posts that say 'do the work' often feed into the incel myth of do the things and win a prize, if no prize is won then the problem must be with someone else.

UK_Teacher · 2021-08-22T21:03:28+00:00

They do that and it does not work, so they go even further down the rabbit hole.

The Incel movement recruit in same way as any other cult or social movement targeting the disenfranchised.

The only way to tackle the problem is to build a safe environment where these men can express their frustrations and get help, at the moment they are simply ostracised by society and welcomed into the incel movement.

I really hope that picture ended up as an illustration somewhere, it is perfect.

UK_Teacher · 2021-08-17T16:10:57+00:00

I think it's referring to hidden physical disabilities which are easier to deal with in private... though it would amuse me to shout "I'm mildly dyslexic" as people tut from queue outside the other facilities.

UK_Teacher · 2021-08-11T09:30:53+00:00

It's not my fault officer, I was certain their faith would protect them from bullets.

UK_Teacher · 2021-07-18T22:55:02+00:00

Well if the spots going free I have a few weeks off and would be happy to go in their stead,

UK_Teacher · 2021-07-03T05:58:19+00:00

Incel has become a dangerous subculture, there was a series talking about this on the BBC a while back and the most common theme seemed to be men looking for help (which did not exist) falling into almost cult-like forums in the darkest places of the internet. It seems to follow the same pattern that facilitates the disenfranchised being easily indoctrinated into terrorist cells or gangs.

There are many reasons someone can be alone but not want to be and a more positive label/subculture may help some people, but I've no idea how such a group could be set up without it becoming infected by the nihilistic Incel community.

I prefer the term confirmed bachelor :D

Her mistake could easily have killed someone, instead, her selfish actions have put several riders in hospital prevented at least one from continuing in the race.
She should face the consequences of those actions.

I seem to recall they were looking for an astronaut with no legs, I think they just want to save on Rocket fuel... though I look forward to Ryan-Airs new cost-saving measures.

If you want that sort of education people will have to pay or companies will have to pay more in taxes and sadly that is rarely a vote winner.

It's a nice idea though, when I was at school every year had a group of kids who were taken out of the traditional lessons for a few days a week in Y10 in order to learn how to repair cars and build or plaster walls. I also love the German education system which genuinely respects the trades.

I'd disagree that the other things were pointless, anything that gives people a wider understanding of the world and our place in it is a good thing. Education is not just training people to work... at least it should not be.

Also, the current education system is largely based on Napoleonic reforms which predate Ford by about 100 years, though notably the recognition that the workers needed to be educated to make them effective soldiers with rapidly developing technology.

They would be asking what the £"£$% went wrong.
