This software is actually tough to deal with because of how it is

and because of how it is, when the author forgot a space in a single command

The botnet killed itself and they'd have to re-infect every victim machine again if they were to rebuild the net LOL

Advent of Code day 6

was preparing my butthole after the last one but ended up being the fastest one i've done :marseyexcited:

with open("day6input.txt") as f:
    input = f.read()

# part 1

for i in range(len(input)):
    marker = set(input[i:i+4])
    if len(marker) == 4:
        answer = i + 4
        break

print(answer)

# part 2 

for i in range(len(input)):
    marker = set(input[i:i+14])
    if len(marker) == 14:
        answer = i + 14
        break

print(answer)

Today I applied for a CS Program at my local university.

Title + I already have two degrees from social science fields, but sadly I'm not diverse enough/too white to actually break into upper echelon jobs, or even entry level non-profit positions. Essentially I can grind it out for twenty years and hope to hit 80k in 2040, or I could just realize I'm gonna switch up my career and go into something profitable. Right now, I've gotten job offers from organizations, mostly government, in the low 40s high 30s. I've done some simple coding in the past, but realized two things.

  1. I'm not really able to grasp topics on my own outside of a classroom environment if I'm not addicted to the material, like I am to policy and politics. I'm not looking to be babied but simultaneously recognize the need for some form of structure and obligation format for the basics. Overall, it's been pretty overwhelming for me.

  2. I get a thrill off of building things, and enjoy my accomplishments, and sometimes the process when it comes to the basic stuff. Overall, I find coding interesting, but I'm not an neurodivergent r-slur who thinks in cs terms naturally.

Does anyone have any comments or advice? I'm only applying, will prob make a more committed decision in March when I hear back from other government positions.

This is amazing news. I still have all of the CDC textfiles saved somewhere, apparently he wrote under the nym 'PsychedelicWarlord.'

There was some pretty good stuff (very shlocky pulp fiction type of good stuff) published under the CDC banner.

'Life in Wartime' still rates highly. Better stay off Phase Bridge tomorrow!

This isn't gaming shit per se, this is just impressive programming imo.. like PICO-8 elegant.

Advent of Code Day 5, AKA Stacks 101 :marseyinabox:

I actually stayed up to get a semi-decent score for once (being a eurocel for this is suffering). How are you all faring with shifting boxes around?

All my APs are finally hardwired in the house. :marseyparty:

After four years I’ve managed to hardwire all my Ubiquiti APs around the house.

Last one was upstairs and just required using a MoCA bridge (makes that old coax in your walls function as Ethernet). Full GbE speeds to everything and even have a few extra switches - highly recommend the cute Unifi flex mini switches.

Very much enjoying the much reduced latency (max of 20ms instead of 80ms) and much higher bandwidth for clients.
