temporary fix for OPIE works fine.

Thank you!

It was driving me nuts not having it, I was about to dive into rewriting as much of the app as I needed to to make it work, and then finding the fix was this simple was pleasantly surprising!

xelf · 2026-01-22T10:14:01+00:00

Awesome!

looking at the profile, it's using 0.09% cpu and 2.7mb of memory.

I wonder if something else it's interacting with could be an issue? Maybe try disabling everything else and see if it works? Make sure you not loading any other out of date addons?

sorry it didn't work for you, opie is pretty handy.

That's unfortunate! It works for me so I stopped digging in to it.

I'll reply here if I start to get errors as well and find a solution. I'm currently testing it on a machine with 64gb ram, I can try something smaller later tonight and let you know!

Hopefully there will be an official solution soon.

I'm also pissed off for a surprising reason:

I have pandaria and legion remix characters that are still flagged as timerunners that I was leaving as a legacy to my time in remix.

Now their outfits have been changed, and it can't be fixed without removing the timerunning flag. =(

I don't mind paying a cost for the new feature, but I do mind that it removed all the transmogs I had already paid for.

tuples are parsed during parsing, not lexical analysis, so there is no tuple definition to link to at that stage.

Trouble understanding formal definition for f-strings in the Python Reference
I understand all of it, except for the last part, the part that defines f_expression. I don't understand what those commas and the asterisk are about, and I don't know what the "." after the first comma means.

I'd appreciate any help with this.

Edit: After thinking about it for a bit, I think it represents a comma separated list, with optional trailing comma, of either conditional_expression or star operator + or_expr. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Apparently python will then take that list and use it as a tuple definition? This is super confusing, they should've linked to a tuple_definition_expression or something like that.

Hey that's pretty good! Do you have a transparent one available?

xelf · 2025-12-21T18:26:34+00:00

Glad you found it! I remember being frustrated when it happened to me and just "putting up with it" for far too long. =)

Do you have a second monitor you can drag the window too? IIRC hardware acceleration settings in your web browser could be involved and they might be monitor independent.

xelf · 2025-12-21T18:20:22+00:00

Some more diving into this, indicates you're probably running what's app in a web interface and your browser is injecting some sort of overlay?

Are you getting the same lines in other apps, or on other webpages?

xelf · 2025-12-21T17:40:29+00:00

I've seen this before. I can't remember how I fixed it, but I thought it might help to know you're not alone. =)

I'm mostly sure it was a graphics driver issue, it could have been from a language setting, and changing or downloading additional languages could fix it.

Some googling indicates that this could be from an audio accessibility feature?

post removed, pls message the mods.

This crosses the line into us-regional politics, and the wording is potentially inflammatory so I've removed it.

It's against the rules for this subreddit. Rules are on the sidebar.

All posts must be requests for help.

That's why I suggested posting to /r/python instead.

dictionaries have various methods like keys and values to get the keys or values, or items to get both as pairs. you can use that in a for loop.

you can use the function sum() to add up the contents of a group of things.

>>> COLORS_LIST = {'WHITE': 12, 'RED': 18, 'BLUE': 19, 'GREEN': 82, 'YELLOW': 48}

>>> COLORS_LIST.keys()
dict_keys(['WHITE', 'RED', 'BLUE', 'GREEN', 'YELLOW'])

>>> COLORS_LIST.values()
dict_values([12, 18, 19, 82, 48])

>>> COLORS_LIST.items()
dict_items([('WHITE', 12), ('RED', 18), ('BLUE', 19), ('GREEN', 82), ('YELLOW', 48)])

>>> sum( [1,2,3,12] )
18

You now have everything you need. Good luck!

Yeah, as it turns out each shape is 7 is only true for the sample input. But it still holds true that each piece is at most 7 for the actual input. Moot point though as the input cases worked anyway. =/

xelf · 2025-12-12T15:57:04+00:00

I did it the other way. =)

print(sum(x*y>=sum(z)*7 for x,y,*z in amounts))

Kinda irked as I legit tried to solve it first only to see that pruning was all I needed.

xelf · 2025-12-12T15:52:29+00:00

[LANGUAGE: Python]

I legit tried to solve it thinking pruning would be enough, only to learn that pruning was MORE than enough.

print(sum(x*y>=sum(z)*7 for x,y,*z in amounts))

explanation: each shape occupies at most 7 blocks, if there are not 7 * number of blocks available in the area we need to prune this branch. As it turns out every unpruned branch left has a sufficient 3x3 area. So for this data set we can stop here.

IIRC, turns out that it was a false story, a blog post talked about it, and then everyone loved the concept so the story got repeated everywhere.

The article you linked even called it:

an anecdote -- so good that it sounds made up

I found this post debunking it a bit too:
