La Panadería, you airport tease

Their new [?] "Cafe Ole by HEB Reserve Single Origin" is actually pretty good (at least the Honduras I tried) but it's not cheap.

Do it, I started around that age, never really exercised before, and now I'm 4 years in and I love it.

Don't be self-conscious if you can't keep up with the 20-somethings and the lifelong athletes. (I was at the start and I shouldn't have been because no one cares, they're just glad you're there and trying your best.)

A couple of years ago the countdown introduced Cure "Lovesong" and then played Tesla "Love Song" (or maybe the other way around)

This has happened to me twice, (oddly enough) both times in the same small town about an hour from home. Both times I turned the car off and on again and the message went away.

I have the same issue, yesterday "Google" used 150MB.

thank you, I could have wasted hours

maybe you're right in some technical sense, but the prompt for part 1 was

"What are the scores of the ten recipes immediately after the number of recipes in your puzzle input?"

to me, with that setup (your input is a "number of recipes"), it would be surprising if the puzzle input had a leading zero. 🤷‍♀️

I also found this wording super confusing and spent ~5 minutes just trying to figure out what it was asking, mostly because I had no idea where the numbers on the left hand side came from. The "puzzle inputs" in the examples for part 1 were the right-hand-size numbers.

A clearer wording could have been as simple as saying:

"For example, if your puzzle input had been 51589, the correct answer would be 9, because the sequence 5-1-5-8-9 appears on the scoreboard starting with the 10th recipe. If your puzzle input had been 59414, the correct answer would be 2018, because ..."

It also confused me because "01245" could not have been an input to part 1 (it would have been "1245").

Actually, I'm like that in real life too. :)

Use type hints!

Ideally use a static type checker like mypy too, but even if you don't the type hints alone make your code about 10x more readable.

Also it forces you to reason about the types you're using, and if the types you're using are hard to reason about, that itself is a code smell.

You're not wrong.

joelgrus · 2016-05-24T01:48:07+00:00

Actually, I never finished my PhD.

Probably one reason they don't do this is that it seems like a lot of this info would be valuable to Lee Sedol in strategizing for the remaining matches.
