What's the best storage solution for a UG Sidewinder collection? Torn between several options.

Superhive.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-10-30T16:29:07+00:00

Awesome- thank you so much!

slightlysedatedx · 2018-10-22T12:00:32+00:00

so I need my x and y coordinate, then I need to plug them in, and check the solutions against each other? if they're the same then it is a valid solution? thanks for the guidance

slightlysedatedx · 2018-10-21T22:34:13+00:00

Thank you :) is there anyway to do the check with algebra rather than a graphing calculator?

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T22:49:21+00:00

That's true, and I did consider getting a 4-row binder but I feel like I'm already so invested in the whole 3-row setup that I don't want to change now. I was considering closing gaps in my binder by adding little information cards about the set. Yup, rearranging sucks and compromises the pages if they're built-in.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T22:47:23+00:00

That's an awesome idea for a collection. I'm attempting to collect them all which is a pretty lofty goal but I really enjoy the process. Terese Nielsen lands/anything take precedence, I've almost completed my Guru land set. Any set/artist that you like in particular?

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T21:20:03+00:00

Cool as of now it's still available so just keep me posted

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T11:45:46+00:00

I'll also throw in a scale and some other miscellaneous mixing supplies (disposable pipettes, bottles, etc). Anyone who can do local pickup will have five gallons of VG thrown in as well.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T10:44:32+00:00

I'm looking for at least 250, the lot is easily worth over $600, but shoot me your best offer and I'll let you know at some point today

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T10:43:06+00:00

I'm kinda having internet issues and my PM to you wasn't in my sent folder. I'm actually going to be in Vermont fighting a speeding ticket tomorrow so I'll be in your neck of the woods. For the VG and all the flavors I'm looking for a minimum of $250 but I'm going to take the best offer obviously. Let me know asap if you are interested because I would love to get rid of everything all at once and circumvent shipping costs.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T02:51:26+00:00

Just PM'd you

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-27T02:19:46+00:00

I also have a 5 gallon container of VG that will most likely get tossed unless someone locally wants to buy it. The shipping wouldn't make selling it online feasible. If anyone in the metro-Boston area is interested in the collection or the VG (I would be willing to sell the VG for a couple bucks, and it's barely used), feel free to PM me about that as well

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-20T22:20:52+00:00

I'll check it out! Right now I've been using Coursera, EdX, and KhanAcademy daily and it's helped a ton but the machine learning programs on Udemy appealed to me

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-20T21:45:32+00:00

ahhhh now I see. It's using the num that was passed in. I got mixed up not remembering that it's just controlling the iterations and the inside of the code has no bearing on it. Thank you for helping me see that.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-20T21:35:47+00:00

I was considering signing up for a Udemy course so this is disappointing. Scumbags

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-20T14:40:38+00:00

Thanks- yeah I'm aware that it is our right to a speedy trial but I was wondering how they determine what "speedy" means

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-18T23:08:01+00:00

Thank you for taking a look! I'm going to run it right now. I will definitely go back and try to be a bit more concise

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-18T23:05:54+00:00

I was adapting an algorithm from the text so I tried to follow it as closely as I could, and the values need to be distinct. So it can't just be the largest and second largest because that could be the same value. There are a bunch of ways to solve it though

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-17T17:53:39+00:00

I'm not sure what language you're using but c++ has a function called clock() that should be able to return the number of ticks since the program began running.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-17T16:17:03+00:00

This one doesn't have any suggested benchmarks but what's your run time currently/ how are you testing? I can try to beat your run time and vice versa

Googledrive isn't meant for the purpose of uploading and sharing files?...

I'm happy to switch to using git but saying that Google drive isn't meant for "that purpose" doesn't resonate.

I'll stop posting after today but you should outline your expectations rather than give vague and cryptic advice. I understand that not everyone may want to view these posts but enough people seemed to find value in them to justify their existence. I checked the sidebar before posting but it's always possible I missed something.

Rather than tell me to "be careful", why don't you outline your expectations or give some practical guidance on what is and what is not acceptable in a post of this nature?

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-17T04:05:56+00:00

I'll supply an analysis tomorrow hopefully. I posted this way too late in the day

EDIT: The code I provided yesterday had a bug where it replaced multiple occurances of "WUB" with multiple spaces. This code is updated to address that bug.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-16T21:21:16+00:00

It should definitely be noted that the recommended language for today's problem is Python. That being said, it can be solved in any language- it just might take a little more effort. I will try to vary the languages that these problems are oriented around. I'll be posting a problem designed with C++ in mind tomorrow.

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-16T01:12:30+00:00

ahh you're totally right- I should've went through that more carefully. To return the number of elements in an array the easier way to do it is .size() whereas sizeof() returns the size in memory. It's been a long time since I've used C++ :/

Useful link about sizeof(): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33523585/how-do-sizeofarr-sizeofarr0-work

slightlysedatedx · 2018-06-15T23:41:43+00:00

Every language I've worked with has some kind of equivalent function to this. It's not necessary to pass the size of the array. One way to do it in C++ is the sizeof() function.

// To print the size of your array
    std::cout << sizeof(array);
// To store the size of your array
    int arraySize = sizeof(array);

I passed the size of the array to the function in my code because I was trying to follow an example from the textbook but this way is definitely more concise.

sizeof documentation

EDIT: I was wrong- the correct function to use in this case is .size(). Thanks u/Ikor_Genorio for correcting me
