I understand Jaffe not being happy that the games are going in a different direction than he imagined, but he’s also the guy who thought Drawn to Death needed to be made.

I understand the win-now mentality, but I still don’t like trading away Pepiot for such an injury-prone player.

Semi just means half. Semifinals, semester, semi-truck, etc.

Is there a source for this?

Thanks! I’ve never heard this version before, but I find it way more listenable than the original.

I think it’s due to lemmy.world defederating from some of the louder instances that I’ve seen way less content of that nature. Not 0 of it, but at least it’s not shouting over the top of every single post I see while browsing the All Communities list.

My (awful) Python solves. Much easier than day 1’s, although I did run into an issue with trimming whitespace characters with my approach (Game 96 wouldn’t flag properly).

Part 1with open(‘02A_input.txt’, ‘r’) as file: data = file.readlines() possibleGames=[] for game in data: # Find Game number game = game.removeprefix(“Game “) gameNumber = int(game[0:game.find(”:”)]) # Break Game into rounds (split using semicolons) game=game[game.find(“:”)+1:] rounds=game.split(“;”) # For each round, determine the maximum number of Red, Blue, Green items shown at a time rgb=[0,0,0] for round in rounds: combos=round.split(“,”) for combo in combos: combo=combo.strip() number=int(combo[0:combo.find(" “)]) if combo.endswith(“red”): if number>rgb[0]: rgb[0]=number elif combo.endswith(“green”): if number>rgb[1]: rgb[1]=number elif combo.endswith(“blue”): if number>rgb[2]: rgb[2]=number # If Red>12, Green>13, Blue>14, append Game number to possibleGames if not (rgb[0]>12 or rgb[1]>13 or rgb[2]>14): possibleGames.append(gameNumber) print(sum(possibleGames))

Part 2with open(‘02A_input.txt’, ‘r’) as file: data = file.readlines() powers=[] for game in data: # Find Game number game = game.removeprefix(“Game “) # Break Game into rounds (split using semicolons) game=game[game.find(”:”)+1:] rounds=game.split(”;“) # For each round, determine the maximum number of Red, Blue, Green items shown at a time # Note: This could be faster, since we don’t need to worry about actual rounds rgb=[0,0,0] for round in rounds: combos=round.split(”,“) for combo in combos: combo=combo.strip() number=int(combo[0:combo.find(” ")]) if combo.endswith(“red”): if number>rgb[0]: rgb[0]=number elif combo.endswith(“green”): if number>rgb[1]: rgb[1]=number elif combo.endswith(“blue”): if number>rgb[2]: rgb[2]=number # Multiple R, G, B to find the “power” of the game # Append Power to the list powers.append(rgb[0]*rgb[1]*rgb[2]) print(sum(powers))

Just getting my feet wet with coding after a decade of 0 programming. CS just didn’t work out for me in school, so I swapped over to math. Trying to use Python on my desktop, with Notepad++ and Windows Shell.

Part 1with open(‘01A_input.txt’, ‘r’) as file: data = file.readlines() print(data) NumericList=[] for row in data: word=row while not(word[0].isnumeric()): word=word[1:] while not(word[-1].isnumeric()): word=word[:-1] #print(word) tempWord=word[0]+word[-1] NumericList.append(int(tempWord)) #print(NumericList) Total=sum(NumericList) print(Total)

Part 2with open(‘01A_input.txt’, ‘r’) as file: data = file.readlines() #print(data) NumericList=[] NumberWords=(“one”, “two”, “three”, “four”, “five”, “six”, “seven”, “eight”, “nine”) def wordreplaceleft(wrd): if wrd.startswith(“one”): return “1” + wrd[3:] elif wrd.startswith(“two”): return “2” + wrd[3:] elif wrd.startswith(“three”): return “3” + wrd[5:] elif wrd.startswith(“four”): return “4” + wrd[4:] elif wrd.startswith(“five”): return “5” + wrd[4:] elif wrd.startswith(“six”): return “6” + wrd[3:] elif wrd.startswith(“seven”): return “7” + wrd[5:] elif wrd.startswith(“eight”): return “8” + wrd[5:] elif wrd.startswith(“nine”): return “9” + wrd[4:] def wordreplaceright(wrd): if wrd.endswith(“one”): return wrd[:-3]+“1” elif wrd.endswith(“two”): return wrd[:-3]+“2” elif wrd.endswith(“three”): return wrd[:-5]+“3” elif wrd.endswith(“four”): return wrd[:-4]+“4” elif wrd.endswith(“five”): return wrd[:-4]+“5” elif wrd.endswith(“six”): return wrd[:-3]+“6” elif wrd.endswith(“seven”): return wrd[:-5]+“7” elif wrd.endswith(“eight”): return wrd[:-5]+“8” elif wrd.endswith(“nine”): return wrd[:-4]+“9” for row in data: wordleft=row wordright=row if wordleft.startswith(NumberWords): wordleft=wordreplaceleft(wordleft) while not(wordleft[0].isnumeric()): if wordleft.startswith(NumberWords): wordleft=wordreplaceleft(wordleft) else: wordleft=wordleft[1:] if wordright.endswith(NumberWords): wordright=wordreplaceright(wordright) while not(wordright[-1].isnumeric()): if wordright.endswith(NumberWords): wordright=wordreplaceright(wordright) else: wordright=wordright[:-1] # while not(word[-1].isnumeric()): # word=word[:-1] # print(word) tempWord=wordleft[0]+wordright[-1] NumericList.append(int(tempWord)) #print(NumericList) Total=sum(NumericList) print(Total)

I know my entire thing is kinda super hobbled together. Any recommendations on how I can make this all easier on myself?

meant2live218, 5 months ago

I haven’t coded anything in about a decade now (I ended up moving from CS to math), but decided to give this all a shot.

Since I don’t have any sort of environment or anything to work in, I just downloaded Python and am trying to wrangle Notepad++, the Windows Shell, and the Python interpreter into helping me remember what I’m doing.

I haven’t touched TF2 in years, but my Hale’s Own Flaregun will be buried with me. Love that weapon dearly.

Dextrous Attacks. You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your Unarmed Strikes and Monk Weapons. In addition, when you choose the Grapple or Shove option, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of Strength to determine the saving throw DC.

Thanks! I don’t have my PHB on me (traveling for the holidays), but I was pretty certain that DnD had a “0 damage is not damage” and “negative damage is treated as 0” sort of rule, similar to Magic.

This is his punishment for Total Forgiveness, where he had to go up and do a stand up routine. I think the full footage of it is listed as a separate thing from the episode it happened in, though.

I ordered the Limited Edition as soon as I could get past the store errors, and it’s out for delivery right now! Unfortunately I’m out and about, but look forward to playing it soon.

I heard Chris mention this when GiantBomb had him on their podcast a week or two ago. It seems like a wild time.

I’m really enjoying this (and last) set of creature lands. Lots of power; I’m looking forward to putting some of these into my slower Pioneer decks.

The current MP has more packs than usual due to Renewal, which happens on rotation. Even though Standard didn’t rotate, Alchemy did, so they still gave everyone the renewal egg and added more packs to the free track.

From my handful of visits to HK, I’m pretty sure it’s just the 3 major banks that print the money?

The group of friends I played Commander with have stopped playing together, since people have moved farther away or have gotten more occupied with their families.

I have 2-3 local game shops I enjoy playing at, and so I’ll go every week or two for something. 90% of the time it’s Commander, but occasionally I can find a draft or pre-release firing off. I also have a few Pioneer decks that I would like to grind in paper, but it’s hard to find anyone actually playing Pioneer.

On my own time, I play Arena maybe 2-3 days a week, primarily just playing Standard or whatever is going on with Midweek Magic.

I honestly consume more Magic content than actually play myself.

He’s saying that if you can change a hard drive, then you can always just keep a spare one (with a clean OS install) on hand to use whenever you take it in for repairs.

Changing a hard drive is basically knowing where the hard drive is, how to access it, and then unplugging and replugging some cables. Fairly easy, and most newer cases have been designed to make it easy to reach the storage bays.

Sorry, that’s my bad. When I see something that looks like a request for information, I try my best to answer it. Even if you personally don’t find it useful, someone else in a similar position but different perspective on learning might be interested. Sorry, hope you have a good day!

Maybe I’ve forgotten my high school physics, but radio waves and light are still all EMF, right? They’re the exact same thing at different frequencies?
