The monthly plan is cheaper by 10 for some reason

I personally use prime for this, since even raw files are unlimited.

What exactly is a “realtime SQL database”?

To what are they gonna rename the company now?

List some instances where colonialism was good

Or trump did something that was good

Reminds me of the ageless socialist joke:

The boss pretends to pay us, and we pretend to work

Hey, people are investing a lot of time to make sure CUPS works to some degree for at least some of the printers out there.

You’d be surprised to learn that Denmark is not really The Netherlands. What the unrelated country had done in 2025 likely has no relation to what Denmark is experiencing.

So don’t close the window

That’s where you put the save icon

You mean the same Israel that blames the Australian government? That Israel?

Isn’t being broken the default state of gnome extensions?

No

It’s always some definition of works. The code never works in all cases, which works lead to people being annoyed with gnome for allowing the extension in the first place

That’s not new

Rust

Finally having some fun with iters. I think part 2 came out nicely once I figured I can rotate the whole input to get numbers that look like ours.

Q: Anyone have any tips how to reason about the intermediate types in a long iter chain? I’m currently placing dummy maps, and on occasion, even printing the values from them when I get too stuck.

How about a steam deck with cellular then?

The problem is not the cameras then, but the fines. Should be proportional to net worth

I’m still struggling to learn Rust, and also to figure out a good solution to these problems, but here’s mine anyway:

#[allow(dead_code)]
pub fn part1(input: Lines<BufReader<File>>) {
    let mut sum = 0;
    for line in input.map_while(Result::ok) {
        let total = find_joltage(line.as_bytes(), 2, false);
        let res = str::from_utf8(total.as_slice()).unwrap();

        sum += res.parse::<u32>().unwrap();
    }

    println!("{}", sum);
}

#[allow(dead_code)]
pub fn part2(input: Lines<BufReader<File>>) {
    let mut sum = 0;
    for (_, line) in input.map_while(Result::ok).enumerate() {
        let total = find_joltage(line.as_bytes(), 12, false);
        let res = str::from_utf8(total.as_slice()).unwrap();

        sum += res.parse::<u64>().unwrap();
    }

    println!("{}", sum);
}

fn find_joltage(b: &[u8], size: usize, debug: bool) -> Vec<u8> {
    if size == 0 {
        return vec![];
    }

    let mut max: u8 = 0;
    let mut max_i = 0;
    for i in (0..=b.len() - size).rev() {
        if b[i] >= max {
            max = b[i];
            max_i = i;
        }
    }

    if debug {
        println!("max = {}, i = {}", max as char, max_i);
    }
    let mut rest = find_joltage(&b[max_i + 1..], size - 1, debug);

    rest.insert(0, max);
    rest
}

There were more examples than that. Unfortunately, in all, while the unterlying economic model was centralized in a manner like communism, human nature still prevailed to install an authoritarian government on the political side.
