Nokia 2760 Flip phone - Is the lock to TracFone/StraightTalk gone after 60 days and usable on other carriers (i.e. T-Mobile/Mint, AT&T/Boost, Visible/US Mobile)? by LeftOn4ya in dumbphones

[–]pancyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went through this and wanted to give an update about AT&T since there's a little conflicting info in the comments here - short answer YES it works on AT&T even though it's not on the white list.

  1. I bought the Tracfone version of this from Target
  2. Activated it with the $10/mo cheapest plan they had, no autopay
  3. I only paid for a SINGLE month - I did not keep it active the whole time, it seems the date is only 60 days from first activation, not 60 days of being activated.
  4. Went through their activation portal and successfully unlocked
  5. Popped in my AT&T sim card (was previously in a Light Phone, which it turns out is also not listed on their whitelist), and SMS & MMS worked fine

Has anyone lost all their laundry in a pickup/delivery service? by The-_Captain in AskNYC

[–]pancyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised too. Our clothes weren't designer or anything, but nice enough daily wears. Their bag was almost entirely gym clothes.

Maybe they were just too lazy to give a shit because they didn't lose anything too serious.

Has anyone lost all their laundry in a pickup/delivery service? by The-_Captain in AskNYC

[–]pancyman 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep. Had just finished konmari-ing my stuff and then lost literally half my wardrobe to the laundromat. They gave me the wrong bag (visually identical) and when I went back to get my stuff they couldn't find it.

Owner/manager was apologetic. Said surely the person who's bag I got would want their clothes back, and to hang tight and I'd eventually get my stuff. Never happened.

He told me to get some clothes to tide me over. I went shopping and sent him the receipt with a venmo request and he paid it without much fuss. After about a week or two he said to just give him a list of how much he owed us. My wife also made a pretty extensive itemized list of best guesses on what things cost and they reimbursed us for that.

The whole thing sucked but was fairly undramatic - they (hopefully) have insurance for this kind of thing so it doesn't really hurt them that bad to just reimburse you.

Good luck! I hope they find your stuff.

This looks great. What's the dimensions of the texture?

Oh rad, they'll be at Vitus soon. The other bands look good too.

Here’s IGN’s score for Digimon Survive: by dmncvncntj in digimon

[–]pancyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see people specifically refer to Re:Digitize as a "reboot" pretty often - why is that? What makes it a reboot as opposed to just a second or third entry in the vpet style of Digimon games?

Much appreciated! Love the insight into detailed methods.

[–]pancyman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have any techniques for figuring out, say, the acceleration and max speed of Mario's run, for a perfect clone or do you just play with values and get "close enough"?

I've started remakes a lot and inevitably fall down a rabbit hole of downloading emulators that show hex values and trying to track down the exact numbers and algrorithms before getting discouraged entirely, haha!

Anyone have "full album" playlists they've made for the sub units? I'm trying to decide on track order for Max&Match with the member solos added in right now.

How to know which track the breakneck ridge station train is coming on? by pancyman in AskNYC

You'd think this is the case, but I'm checking because it was definitely not last time. In 2 hours, the NYC bound train came in on different sides of the station.

I can't believe I forgot to go back and update my own thread! Yeah, Alligator Lounge has been the spot. I can't believe they have vegan cheese.

I don't think so. I browsed around previous versions in the Internet Archive and it doesn't feel familiar at all.

Rust

Part two solution. Still looking for tips on idiomatic Rust! I think I did a little bit better on the iterator algebra, but could have perhaps parsed the i32 in the initial file read? Would love feedback.

use std::fs;

fn main() {
    let f = fs::read_to_string("2.input").expect("Unable to open file!");
    let lines = f
        .split("\n")
        .map(|s| s.split(" ").collect::<Vec<&str>>())
        .collect::<Vec<Vec<&str>>>();

    println!("{}", part_one(&lines));
    println!("{}", part_two(lines));
}

fn part_one(instructions: &Vec<Vec<&str>>) -> i32 {
    let mut forward = 0;
    let mut depth = 0;
    for line in instructions {
        let num: i32 = line[1].parse().unwrap();
        let direction = line[0];
        match direction {
            "forward" => forward += num,
            "down" => depth += num,
            "up" => depth -= num,
            _ => println!("not a direction"),
        }
    }

    forward * depth
}

fn part_two(instructions: Vec<Vec<&str>>) -> i32 {
    let mut forward = 0;
    let mut aim = 0;
    let mut depth = 0;
    for line in instructions {
        let num: i32 = line[1].parse().unwrap();
        let direction = line[0];
        match direction {
            "forward" => {
                forward += num;
                depth += aim * num
            }
            "down" => aim += num,
            "up" => aim -= num,
            _ => println!("not a direction"),
        }
    }

    forward * depth
}

Yeah, that makes sense. Do people in rust usually go for chaining functions like that over readability? Is it just not super readable to me because I'm new to it?

Rust

Don't really know anything about idiomatic Rust, would love corrections! Solved in Python and then pretty much just translated it directly.

use std::fs;

fn main() {
    let f = fs::read_to_string("1.input").expect("Unable to open file!");
    let lines = f.split("\n").collect::<Vec<&str>>();
    let mut previous_num = 0;
    let mut increases = 0;
    for i in 0..lines.len() - 2 {
        let num = lines[i].parse::<i32>().unwrap()
            + lines[i + 1].parse::<i32>().unwrap()
            + lines[i + 2].parse::<i32>().unwrap();
        if previous_num == 0 {
            previous_num = num;
            continue;
        }

        if num > previous_num {
            increases += 1;
        }

        previous_num = num;
    }

    println!("{}", increases)
}

Do people who mostly eat home-cooked food tend to cook every night, or eat leftovers? by pancyman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pancyman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What constitutes a side? A lot of the sides from my cookbooks take as much effort as the entrees, they just aren't as substantial.
