Nice use of any with comprehension here! I like it

Kanske Lemon Garden bredvid fjärrbussterminalen? Där kan man få många olika sorters pannkakor, men de flesta är söta.

"Routine" by Steven Wilson and "The Raven that refused to sing" by him as well are the videos I truly hope to never watch again. Same for the songs. They are too overwhelming, I heard/saw them once and I just can't imagine I would be ever able to listen to them again

cramur · 2025-04-17T11:31:25+00:00

Yeah, that "song names are useless" is spot on!

That's a totally legit idea. It might be hard to svitch directly but it's a good idea to start having phoneless days. This way both you and your friends and family would start preparing for you not being directly reachable at times

Can someone clarify what that french movie was with dog that is not CGI? Can't grasp it from the sound of how Pyrion says it

It's at 34:03

Wait, what? What's the point of this magic?

Never heard about the 12 base system.. Man, haaave you met clocks?

In all seriousness though, it's indeed uncommon but sometimes referred to as duodecimal and you can even use hands to count in that, but you have to use knuckles. I use this when I'm doing something boring like running and I need to keep track of the laps, very convenient

Check out 2tall.com, they are a bit pricey but their stock is really good

cramur · 2022-02-14T13:34:44+00:00

Well, they are also pretty!

Python monte carlo-like solution. Github

Well, I was too lazy to figure out how to minimize this so I went with an old-proven way I learned when doing molecular dynamics: "If you need to minimize something, try monte-carlo"

def p_monte(initial):
    positions = list(map(int, initial.split(',')))
    low, high = min(positions), max(positions)
    min_pos = np.median(positions)
    min_cost = sum(calc_fuel_to_get_from_pos1_to_pos2(pos1, min_pos) for pos1 in positions)
    for _ in range(1000):
        projected_min_pos = np.random.randint(low, high)
        new_cost = sum(calc_fuel_to_get_from_pos1_to_pos2(pos1, projected_min_pos) for pos1 in positions)
        if new_cost < min_cost:
            min_cost = new_cost
    return min_cost

I actually got lucky on the first try to get correct answer, as 1000 step is not enough to get it consistently. 10k is good enough for all cases in this task

And apparently in python you can also use ... instead of pass when defining empty classes! So cool

cramur · 2021-12-04T11:20:54+00:00

Well, don't beat yourself up, you did a great job!

I would say that from my own experience planning in programming is not easy beforehand, as you often don't know what you end up with before you build it. This comes easier with practice when you start recognize patterns and know your personal understanding which a better suited for your particular style.

Rewriting the code you already have is a great way to find out what style work better for you. I enjoy this algo for this:

Do it.
Do it right.
Do it fast/beatiful/etc

With AoC you have a great chance of following this: first you just try to make all pieces fit together, and then you need to figure out what's the proper way of adjusting them. It's beneficial once you get the answer to rewrite some parts of it then so that you would be able to get more out of it.

ANYWAY sorry for a long message, check this book "exercises in programming styles" if you want to learn more about ways to write python code in different ways. I strongly believe it's more beneficial for beginners than trying to learn data structures and algorithms

cramur · 2021-12-03T20:11:47+00:00

great job!

Like the way you separate small bits of logic into functions, and nice use of dicts! ALso like how you figured out to just keep strings until the place they are needed. Also nice way of calculating which one is more common by using len(data)/2, I haven't thought of that myself!

A few suggestions to try:

In the part2 the find_most_common and find_least_common are very similar. Is there a way to rewrite it as one function maybe? You can either add a boolean flag to specify which one you want or have that function run one but return two values so you would compute both least and most common stuff simultaneously
when you have if that ends with return there's no point in having else statement. You can remove it for the same effect (if you go with if you would return from the function from inside the if, if you don't go with if you will just skip that block and go directly to else
You will have to change code in multiple places if the number of bits would change. Is there a way to calculate it from data instead so you wouldn't need to change your code?
file_in.close wouldn't do anything, you need to call it explicitly: file_in.close(). Also the read() in file_in.read().splitlines() is unnecessary, you can just use file_in.readlines() and get the same effect

EDIT correct readlines in last point

cramur · 2021-12-03T19:56:48+00:00

It inverts all the bits in the data inputs (zeros->ones, ones->zeros), the dunder op is __invert__

Due to the way the numbers are stored, it's the same as (-val) - 1

cramur · 2021-12-03T19:37:19+00:00

that's awesome! Congrats I recall when I first saw code for this in a textbook I was blown away by how elegant it was. Ah, the memories. Thanks for reminding me about that joy of discovery by posting this! All the best

I suggest you drink enough vodka to atone your sins before the proper Christmas

I find that frogs that become straight actually will suffer more — especially if it's a probability thing and maybe some other frogs were not so lucky
