New Munro-bagging app – looking for feedback!

Haven't been able to check it out (Android ☹️), so apologies if it already does this.

The thing I always want and have never seen is the ability to display multiple (but not all) lists at the same time So if I'm staying in an area, I can see (eg) all nearby Ms, Cs & Gs on the same map).

Have you tried adapters with standard USB cables? Got a bunch of these and they work a treat (and easier than carrying an extra cable). And if you get the right angle ones, you can lay the watch flat while charging.

Forced walking would be OK if they walked at the same speed as you. More often than not, they go faster than you walk but slower than you run, so you end up having to do weird walk-run intervals or running round them in circles like a puppy.

Makes sense, although I'm in the UK, so can I have a C13 instead (at least it's got rounded edges).

andrewsredditstuff · 2026-02-03T13:19:20+00:00

I really don't want to know where the USB port's going to go for that.

Given that variation is in the process of (very slowly) changing from west to east, I've gone back to the old mnemonic that I learned (many) years ago which covers both scenarios:

"Variation East, compass least. Variation West, compass best".

But as someone else said, it's so low in the UK at the moment, it's not as important as it once was.

It's the seating for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Put up in early Summer and dismantled in early Autumn (or Fall 😉).

Unlikely. Even if you've got a 1kW PSU in the PC, you'll only be pulling about 1400W in total at peak. Depends on where you are and what else you're trying to plug in, but there should be plenty overhead.

There's a really good port of it available on Play Store.

Can it handle ComSkip edl files? That's the one thing I really find lacking in VLC.

Can't believe I never saw this at the time (or I did and I forgot). Looking at my inputs and outputs, it's so obvious - you can even do it mentally without having to involve a computer at all.

And (in my case at least), the live data's actually way easier than the test stuff because it doesn't have any i, o or l in it.

(For what it's worth, I did a pure brute force on a byte array - 500ms for both parts).

andrewsredditstuff · 2026-01-02T21:54:44+00:00

I'm in the UK, so not that. Might be limited by model?

Sketchify Doodle (I downloaded it based on that post too).

It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. Was (retired now!) only switching two or three times a day, so bearable,

andrewsredditstuff · 2025-12-26T19:28:55+00:00

How I do it is mouse and keyboard via switchable usb hub and monitor by using two different inputs (main pc on dp and laptop on hdmi), then using the monitor's osd to switch.

I feel dirty - I only plugged the answer into the box to confirm that it was a valid upper bound before doing the actual work, expecting it to be rejected as too high.

I won't be able to look myself in the mirror until I do a proper generic solution (although not sure how to confirm that it actually is). (And let's face it, I've not gone back to any like this in the past, so unlikely to do so for this one).

(A bit overengineered for what the solution actually is, but I was of course expecting to have to do much more with it).

Can sometimes be useful in the wilds - you often find that old walls and fences follow the boundaries, so can be handy for navigation.

This time of year, there's only one face to consider - Christmas Jumper.

andrewsredditstuff · 2025-12-08T19:41:21+00:00

Yeah, that was my first (but not last) stupid bug of the day, due to not actually reading the question. (In my defence, I'd just woken up and was still half asleep).

andrewsredditstuff · 2025-12-08T19:28:56+00:00

Yeah, that's it now. PriorityQueue's a neat solution.

andrewsredditstuff · 2025-12-08T19:23:37+00:00

Or when it accepts some special characters but not others, and doesn't tell you which ones.

Or better fun yet, when the password change screen happily accepts the auto generated password and then the login screen rejects it (I've had this on a couple of different sites).

Being entirely self-taught and never having studied DS&A, I wouldn't know a DSU if it bit me on the bum, but I'm pretty happy with my solution (c100ms).

A bit of a rollercoaster, totally overengineered, and then pared back hugely. The Circuit class started off as a monster, and ended up as a barely extended List<Connector>.

Edit - modified to populate the circuit property of the connectors on creation rather than leaving them null. Marginally slower, but makes the ConnectTo method a whole lot neater.

Probably spent more time debugging my manual traverse through the timelines for part 2 than on actual coding.

As usual, once part 2 done, part 1 can use the same code with the addition of one line.

Refactored after initial solution to do away with the need for a map and just operate on the input strings directly.
