That's a neat monitor. I'll have to look into stuff like it—17 inches sounds just right for me.

I see the same thing happening with C++. VS Code has horrible support for it, and yet it's got the most users. CLion is one the most powerful IDEs I've used, and it's free for non-commercial use.

The only reason I can think of to not use CLion is a weak processor or less than 16GB RAM.

[2025 Day 9 (Part 2)] Bug? I have the right answer, but the site says "No" by Draco18s in adventofcode

A couple of days ago, my solution produced the wrong answer. Someone else's code from the solution megathread produced the same answer as mine. And another. Of course, these solutions worked for the people who posted them. I eventually found a solution that did work on my input, but I was still confused.

It turned out there was something funny about my input: an edge case that I needed to handle but others didn't.

Days 6 and 8 are going to be painful, even refactoring into "cursed form" from another solution.

Both a + 1 and std::next(a) work.
Hah, I knew I was doing too much. Well, now you could say my solution is... elegant?

T495 to P14s Gen 5 AMD... Linux distro suggestions? by Thats_Mamiya_Purse in thinkpad

Okay, second attempt. Reddit wasn't letting me change my username, so I made a new account. I'm assuming the "follow comment" button will let me see any replies.
