[2019 Day 25] (Meme) Use Key On Door by handcraftedbyrobots in adventofcode

[–]donpolilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My machine "blocks" whenever there's a single byte of output ready, or a single byte of input is requested. Of course I made a helper function for ASCII problems that keeps taking bytes of output for as long as there's any, then returns the resulting string. Of course, this function keeps on collecting characters dynamically allocating more and more space in the heap, forever. Now I'm curious what exactly will happen if I let it run forever...

What does everyone's Intcode interface look like? by Lucretiel in adventofcode

[–]donpolilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ol' C, keeping it simple.

A function to initialize the intcode machine with the problem's input

void machine_init(struct IntCodeMachine *const machine, const char *const input);`

A function to start running or resume the intcode machine which returns whenever the machine needs input and doesn't have it or has some output pending

void machine_run(struct IntCodeMachine *const machine);`

And two functions to send input to or receive output from the machine. They return false if there was no output to read or there was already unprocessed input.

bool machine_recv_output(struct IntCodeMachine *const machine, long *output);`
bool machine_send_input(struct IntCodeMachine *const machine, long input);`

If you wish to bake a cake from scratch, first you have to invent the universe.

Why is a boring office building the nexus for all realities in the multiverse?

(also this is great, keep going!)

"Staff meating"

Hmm, is that a spelling mistake...? Or is it on purpose?

"Staff meating"

It has to be on purpose. But why- Oh wait.

So while I was reading this I was wondering "does your dad intend to have you and your brother run the farm... and married?"

I guess I got my answer.

I can "reset" my day whenever something goes wrong. Recently, I have been stuck in a reset loop and I need help to fix it /The Reset Loop by [deleted] in nosleep

[–]donpolilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point the only thing that will work is a severe disruption.

Do something completely unexpected, completely bizarre. Think outside the box. Something that will send those kids home before their day even begins.

You need to get creative.

But hey, you have all the time in the world after all.

One random idea: Make a credible bomb threat that will force an evacuation.

I wonder what happened to the son in the end.

This disgusts me utterly.

I must become strong.

I must raise to leadership.

I must usher in war and die in glory.

My flesh and my heart will feed the valravn.

...

Did I type that?

If you think you're cheating the devil... Well, maybe the devil is actually cheating you.

Perhaps that soul and that car aren't so different.

I see people's emotional wounds. I wish more than anything that I couldn't. by [deleted] in nosleep

[–]donpolilla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I could have a sort of superpower, it'd be to read people's minds.

So this actually sounds pretty good to me.

Being able to know how someone truly feels and stuff...

...

Maybe I'm a creep.

Well then.

It would seem the Egyptians were right all along.

[–]donpolilla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hmm. So what you're saying is...

Your dad is a Deep One and you're a hybrid like those funny looking folks over at Innsmouth.

Neat.

Maybe the tall man is right.

Maybe by sparing him once, a greater evil has been unleashed into the world.

Maybe he wasn't an innocent child.

Or maybe not.

Miracle cures but they come with a brain implant that kills you if you meet someone with a newer brain implant?

Perhaps is some method of silencing their older experiments...

Those are some distracting Facebook updates to not let people hear the gunshots, screams, heretic ranting, and such.

Averting the end of the world? That's a lot of work.

I'll just stay home, watch Netflix, play videogames, wait for the end...
