The thing that finally got businesses to finally get off IE wasn't from the browser being worse than every other option. Heck, it wasn't even because it was a decrepit piece of software that lost it's former market dominance (and if anything businesses see that as a positive, not a negative).

What finally did that was microsoft saying there won't be any security updates. That's what finally got them off their ass; subtly threatening them with data breaches, exploits, etc. if they continue to use it. I don't see google doing this anytime soon, at least not without a "sequel" like microsoft had with edge.

Oh yeah, I misspoke, gonna edit.

hmm, my code keeps getting truncated at for y in .., anyone have any idea why? Maybe the "<" right after that confuses a parser somewhere?

Did this in Odin

Here's a tip: if you are using a language / standard library that doesn't have a set, you can mimic it with a map from your key to a nullary (in this case an empty struct)

formatted code

package day3

import "core:fmt"
import "core:strings"
import "core:unicode"
import "core:strconv"

flood_get_num :: proc(s: string, i: int) -> (parsed: int, pos: int) {
    if !unicode.is_digit(rune(s[i])) do return -99999, -1

    pos = strings.last_index_proc(s[:i+1], proc(r:rune)->bool{return !unicode.is_digit(r)})
    pos += 1

    ok: bool
    parsed, ok = strconv.parse_int(s[pos:])

    return parsed, pos
}

p1 :: proc(input: []string) {
    // wow what a gnarly type
    foundNumSet := make(map[[2]int]struct{})
    defer delete(foundNumSet)

    total := 0

    for y in 0..

Huh. When I took Calculus II in community college, the professor introduced sum notation and like 2/3 of the class was like "wow that's cool I didn't know about that". I don't remember ever being formally taught it before that but it still surprises be how few people where already familiar with it.

One of the reasons I really disliked Reddit and stopped using it years ago was this way of using the voting system. If I make a post, and it gets voted something like +4-10, and a reply that is some rewording of "that's a dumb statement", what am I to think? I'm certainly not going to change my mind, no one gave me a good reason to.

If one is voting because they feel they can’t stand behind their opinion if they expanded it in text… I don’t know what to tell ya.

I'm inclined to believe a lot of people do this. This is not to say they are terrible for doing this, it's that it's human nature. Replying to someone with a well thought out post takes effort and, from my experience, makes the me realize i don't know shit about the subject. Point is, this way of using the voting system breeds half-thought opinions which is a host of a lot of other problems.
