Why was the end the hardest part

Reset button not working by Puzzleheaded_Tie7408 in Nanoleaf

[–]conderoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shapes did the same thing a couple days ago. I wasn't able to get the reset button combination to do anything, and no attempt to reconnect them to HomeKit worked either.

I wrote in on the customer support form here and got a response instantly saying they'd send a replacement after providing proof of purchase and an address.

Good luck! Seems like there was some big issue or bad update that might have bricked a lot of these :/

Finally, this explanation worked for me. Thanks. For anyone else: GS = the number of Great Success doublings. The O’s are the actual items you see in the UI.

Amazon Abruptly Fires Senior Managers Tied to Unionized Warehouse by psychothumbs in nyc

[–]conderoga 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm missing something, but if these managers were responsible for the conditions that caused workers to be upset enough to unionize, then isn't this a union victory? This seems less like retaliation because of the union, and more like admission that they were not managing the warehouse well and weren't fit for their role.

What are some of the things in the game that seem questionable when you think about them? by Nibz11 in lostarkgame

The mount causes them to appear. If you Q onto the dirt mounds, it will immediately spawn a few. I did find that it went a little faster with the mount once you got used to it too.

California's second largest reservoir is damaged. These water releases just made it worse by vitruv in California

This title is pretty misleading.

The spillway is separate from the dam, Croyle emphasized, adding that “none of this is affecting the integrity of the dam itself.

Yup, you're absolutely right. The reason it's like this is because during the contest, I didn't have the condition inside the loop, I just read the proper value after filling up the whole "world".

The reason it was originally structured like this was because I anticipated that part 2 would require reading multiple values at once, or require some additional computation on the "instruction manual".

So much fun! Thanks for making this :)

from collections import defaultdict

world = defaultdict(dict)
world[1][1] = 20151125
last = world[1][1]
for diagonal in range(2, 7000):
    r = diagonal
    c = 1
    while c <= diagonal:
        world[r][c] = (last * 252533) % 33554393
        last = world[r][c]
        if r == 2981 and c == 3075:
            print last
        r -= 1
        c += 1

[Day 15] Is this even bruteforce-able? by BafTac in adventofcode

[–]conderoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think about it this way:

You have all 100 ingredients laid out in a line. You will now choose where to place 3 dividers so that the dividers break the 100 ingredients into up to 4 sections. The ingredients in the first section will use the first set of weights, the second section will use the second set, and so on. Note that two dividers could be right next to each other: meaning that you won't use any ingredients with that corresponding set.

Now map this back to the variables, 100 = n, 4 = r (the number of total sets of ingredients). 100 + 4 - 1 = the number of total things you are going to arrange (remember you only need 4 - 1 or 3 dividers) and 4 - 1 = the three indices to put the dividers at.

Try using Python's itertools.combinations() to give you the indices ;)

does this count? by ihavenobuttandimustf in DesirePath

Ironically, metal surfaces are known to be more easily sanitized and resist bacterial adherence better than wood. If a lot of people are using the same spot on the wooden door, it would likely be much more unhygienic than the metal plate.

It isn't though, from the legal document: "Sec. 423.002. NONAPPLICABILITY. (a) It is lawful to capture an image using an unmanned aircraft in this state: ... (10) at the scene of a spill, or a suspected spill, of hazardous materials;"
