@derickflorian > One thing I was wondering is ok to post solutions to the challenges or no?

Sure. I post my on a forum that supports hiding behind spoiler tags, but by the time the first hour or two has past, the hard-core coders have already gotten the top prizes and us regular folks are just plodding along. The Reddit for AoC has guidelines for the posting of code, and they follow the stats to see when all of the top 100 have be claimed.

Thank you Senator Warren for voting against an unfair contract for our railroad workers. Senator Markey, I am very disappointed that you supported imposing a contract that doesn’t allow for sick leave. senate.gov/legislative/LIS/rol #RailroadStrike #MAPoli

Remembering IBM error code books though. You'd look, you'd index, you'd eventually get to the "right" binder, and on page 1062, find that the reason for error 5078 is that "Error 5078 has occurred"

Minecraft Build 

My daughters and I used to play #Minecraft 🎮 every day together. School started, work changed, life changed. I miss those times. I just ran across this old build in a beautiful lush valley.

Very appreciative for the gentle encouragement of @PHolder to embark on the Advent of Code Challenge. I complete the first day of challenges using C.

One thing I was wondering is ok to post solutions to the challenges or no?

TIL:
- IBM has easy to understand C documentation that's less opaque than the Linux documentation for me. Example: ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.4?topic=fu
- sorting an array is not that easy. the function I used was qsort() and you have to implement a comparator. I adapted the comparator from here: en.cppreference.com/w/c/algori. The only difference is I used uint64_t for everything(not sure if it was the best choice but it had all the room I needed).
- To read a bunch of numbers from a file I couldn't get fscanf) to work well because it skipped over blank lines I read in as uint64_t so I couldn't figure out where each set of numbers ended. I had better luck with a combo of fgets() and stroull().

I actually really couldn't believe I finished it. The satisfaction of eventually getting something working in C is real!

Doing Advent of Code again this year. The #TWiT community discussion can be found here twit.community/t/advent-of-cod . I'm coding in #Java again this year, @leo is doing #Lisp. I tried to entice @derickflorian to do it in C, which is is learning, and I will be hoping to "C" his results ;)

Looking forward to hanging with @Enaughton this Friday at 6pm UTC on iamdeveloper.live!

From janitor to software engineer. Emmett tells us about his journey from working in an ER to landing in tech, and how the current job search is going.

Python events?

Where do you get your source for in person or online #Python? Have any events you’d like to shout out?

Transphobes act as if trans healthcare and standards of care just appeared out of nowhere when they were refined over decades with the simple goal of reducing the number of deaths and enabling people to live happy, healthy, functional lives.

Is there a way to receive phonecalls over LTE (not VoIP) on conventional PCs?

Connecting to LTE is easy, but recieveing SMS and calls dont get that much documentation.

When I research I only get boted articles and ebin hax0r stuff.

I just wanted to recieve calls on my pc so I wouldnt have to deal with phones anymore without resorting to dumbphones (I still need WhasApp)

A shield really changed the night phase of Minecraft! Instead of stealing a villagers bed I can stay out and slay some baddies! 😈

It's 24 hours until The Sweetest Colour Remixed comes out, and a painful headache means I can't sleep. So, let's go nuts and treat you to 10 prerelease codes on #Bandcamp. Grab one and be one of the first to listen.

If they run out I'll post some more tomorrow. :boost_requested:

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.

I know the app has become important to a lot people, so I'm open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit. Email info@metabolist.org if you (or your organization) are interested
