Well TIL. Didn't think to search for it. I am in my thirties and have lived in the UK my whole life, and I have never encountered or heard of such a device until now!
Given that, I think it's really creative name to use for such a purpose 👍

Great effort keeping the instance together. I'm very impressed, and grateful for both your efforts. It's probably just going over my head, but what is the inspiration for the name "Teasmade"? Is it a play on Tea and Maid?

I've just transferred it over to you :)

Great. I've appointed you as mod and transferred the community.
Reach out if you have any issues!

Hi @alx@programming.dev.

I have created the community and thrown up a basic sidebar: !woodpecker_ci@programming.dev

If you're interested in moderating the community, make a post there and let me know here.

Hi @lanartri@programming.dev.
I have created your requested community: !memoristik@programming.dev. As this is your own project, I have not created sidebar descriptions or anything like that and will leave this for you to do.

Please make a post in the community and I will grant you mod status and transfer the community to you. I'd then ask that you get some rules thrown up in the sidebar, as a minimum.

Today's problems felt really refreshing after yesterday.

Like many others, I really didn't enjoy this one. I particularly struggled with part 02, which ended up with me just brute forcing it and checking each seed. On my system it took over 15 minutes to run, which is truly awful. I'm open to pointers on how I could better have solved part two.

Late as always (actually a day late by UK time).

My solution to this one runs slow, but it gets the job done. I didn't actually need the CardInfo struct by the time I was done, but couldn't be bothered to remove it. Previously, it held more than just count.

Edit: Updated now with part 2.

Managed to have a crack at this a bit earlier today, I've only done Part 01 so far. I'll update with Part 02 later.

I tackled this with the personal challenge of not loading the entire puzzle input into memory, which would have made this a bit easier.

I am planning to use Rust this year to refresh my knowledge after having not used it for six months or so. I'm contemplating doing some solution visualisation this year, as I'm always impressed by that when others do it - but very much time availability dependent.

Fair enough. And I'm sure the people who volunteered were probably thrilled to be involved with the project, it really is a brilliant piece of work.

Absolutely loved this. Never heard of the artist before this (though clearly she is very popular!). She seemed to have a lot of fun making the video.

The only thing that disappointed me was learning that a bunch of people had to volunteer their time to make this. Surely this made lot of money for the artist and video producers, could it really be that the margins were too thin to compensate all the people working on this?

I think you may have misread the title (and certainly not watch the video! :P). This is about games made in Godot, an open source game engine (mostly written in C++) featuring a scripting language similar to Python (but far from identical).

That's so interesting. I'm a developer myself, but haven't ever tackled a making a framework. Having obviously dealt many times with assuming there must be a framework error after hours of debugging (usually to find out it was indeed a user error...), I can imagine the debacle of trying to figure that out while developing one!

Okay, great. I've sent you my account via DM.

What have been your biggest challenges as you've developed this?

I'd give it a go, and probably will at some point, but just don't have time at the moment. But having had a cursory glance, I'm very impressed with the documentation. The framework looks similar enough to Vue and svelte that I feel it would be easy enough for most frontend devs to pick this up quite quickly.

Like many others here, at the company I work for you get nothing.

I do one on-call shift as primary per week and one as secondary. I then also cover a week every six weeks or so.

If shit really hits the fan, them work is pretty cool about taking some time back, but we're far from micromanaged as it is, so we can just kind of make it work.

I'd say an incidency probably occurs on around half of my primary shifts (and I've yet to ever do anything as secondary), and nearly always it was something I could resolve within one hour.

Every dev at the company is on the rota once they've got a few month's experience.

Based in the UK.
