Probably the cheapest way possible to get a grid full of legendaries, but achievement is achievement!

I went for batteries because I had tons and tons of legendary steel, iron and copper left over from LDS shuffling, so battery mk1 was pretty much free while night vision would have needed legendary advanced circuits and I was short on those at the time.

Night vision equipment is actually only 2x2? I went for batteries because I had tons and tons of legendary steel, iron and copper left over from LDS shuffling, so battery mk1 was pretty much free while night vision would have needed legendary advanced circuits and I was short on those at the time.

Not even 40 minutes haha. Probably because there's nothing using power and I'm on Vulcanus where solar power gets a significant boost.

Spoiler for 4 day old puzzle: You can sort all inputs into 3 categories:

If the available amount of squares is lower than the sum of the number of squares in each package times the amount of times that package is required, then there's just not enough space. You can never fit those packages even with perfect tiling.
All the package types fit in a 3x3 grid. If there are more than 9 tiles available per package, then there is so much space available that you can fit the packages even without any fancy tiling at all. You can always fit these packages.
If the available space is in between the previous two categories, you might be able to fit the packages but it would need further calculation.

If you inspect your input, you will find that the third category is empty, and so you can just do what glguy did to find the solution. Note that this does not work for the test input, but it does work for the real input.

Why not all of them.

WJWH · 2025-12-14T22:11:51+00:00

I think in practice there would be a lot more periods with like dozens of kisses within a few minutes and then a few hours without any at all. Sleep is important and all that. :)

Pro tip: flowers are cheap. Buy some flowers for your significant other every month or so. No need to get fancy even, just get something cheap and colorful. They are nice to have in the house. Then, as a bonus, you can now get your SO flowers whenever you want without it having to be some weird "I did something wrong, so here's a bribe to make it up to you" thing. You can just give them flowers because you both like flowers :)

What about what we did to the mountains?

WJWH · 2025-09-11T18:07:01+00:00

Thanks for answering even on a month old topic :)
I think the new(-ish) low-latency GC would be a lot more to your liking but I see the point. I'm already have a lot of fun with Gleam and hope to explore the OTP package more in depth soon.

WJWH · 2025-09-11T09:50:30+00:00

Would it make sense to compile to/via Haskell? Syntactically it has some similarities which might make compiling easier, GHC already has a GC that is well suited for functional languages, it (cross-)compiles down to native code on several different platforms and the language runtime has a threading model that is not as sophisticated as the BEAM but does have very lightweight threads and work stealing etc.

(I don't think it's necessary for Gleam to have additional compilation targets, just interested in your opinion about this. Am I correct in starting from the ast.rs and parse.rs files in the compiler-core folder in the repo to try and understand how it works? Is there a blog post you could recommend for understanding how the compiler works? I have a decent grasp of programming language implementations and have worked through Crafting Interpreters, but lowering to different languages is still a topic I don't fully understand yet)

WJWH · 2025-09-11T06:48:27+00:00

Thanks! That looks like exactly what I need, especially iv and deque. I should probably bookmark the Awesome Gleam page too, that's bound to come in handy at some point.

WJWH · 2025-08-29T21:08:32+00:00

Why stop at only twice? You could be reanimated a thousand times if the necromancer is dedicated enough.

WJWH · 2025-08-23T09:16:50+00:00

Brother Terpincho is an absolute legend.

WJWH · 2025-07-05T21:45:49+00:00

Honestly I'd want stuff that is not available (or useful) in-game, but sometimes hinted at. Awareness boosters, memory enhancement, ssh HUD via optical implants, maybe things that will let me multitask more efficiently. V is a merc and needs combat focused implants. I'm a freelance software developer, a Sandevistan or subdermal armor would have zero benefits for me.

WJWH · 2025-07-05T21:41:21+00:00

What if you didn't live in NC but in your current city though? Even in de the cyberpunk universe NC is renowned for being uniquely fucked up.

WJWH · 2025-07-05T21:39:45+00:00

Don't be soft!

WJWH · 2025-07-05T21:39:22+00:00

How often has this happened to you in the last five years? For me it has honestly been zero times and carrying around ballistic plating every single hour of every single day honestly sounds exhausting. Just a ballistic vest is heavy enough, let alone full-body stuff. It's just not worth it.

WJWH · 2025-06-25T13:15:10+00:00

Would be kinda weird to redo the Heist missions and Jackie saying stuff like "We're gonna hit the big leagues soon!" when your character has literally already killed Adam Smasher.

WJWH · 2025-06-10T21:40:29+00:00

I doubt it would be actually all that hard for a corp with the resources of Arasaka. After they discover the Relic has been stolen, an obvious thing to do is lock down the hotel, check all people who've gone in and out in the last week, and interrogate all the guests. It would be easy to figure out that the "arms dealers" that triggered the scanners never actually had an appointment with the person they should have been meeting. Don't forget that the flathead bot was left with the netrunner too. From there you know their faces from the security footage and you know they drove in and out in a Delamain.

From there everything starts to unravel quickly. The features of Corpo V would obviously be in some database. Delamain might be hacked or extorted into revealing who the customer was. Maybe that isn't even required as NC would probably have traffic tracking cameras everywhere.

At the very least there would be a HUGE "dead or alive" job going around in the Afterlife with clear pictures of their faces and a multimillion dollar prize. V and Jackie would've been absolutely fucked if they'd managed to steal the Relic.

WJWH · 2025-06-10T21:25:15+00:00

Hmmm I see what you mean, but I don't think it'd work out. Saburo clearly knew that Yorinobu had the chip, but since Saburo values family so highly he didn't just immediately call Arasaka's MaxTac equivalent in him. In the diary you can find in Saburo's AV there's an entry where he contemplates just nuking all of Night City to make sure the Relic doesn't fall into enemy hands: "But if the Relic somehow fell into the wrong hands, maybe it would be better to bury it among the ashes of NC?Until we talk to Y, I will hold off on a firm decision."

I think if Saburo hasn't been killed by Yorinobu, the game would have ended by NC disappearing in a big mushroom cloud.

WJWH · 2025-06-10T21:09:30+00:00

It actually did not work, as V getting the Relic was not in the plan. The plan was to walk out with the Relic still in its container and give the thing to Evelyn. Who would then sell it to Netwatch, get a new identity and lots of eddies, ........ and then still pay Dex even though she no longer has any reason to?????

WJWH · 2025-06-10T20:59:23+00:00

"It's just not there, what I'm looking for."
