I don't understand, pigs in blankets are wrapped in bacon, they should be a type of salad. Why would you use pastry?

I feel like it's missing the perfect light weight version that appears to do everything you want. Except it's written in java, has not been updated for 4 years, and for some strange reason only works with oracle java.

Fences don't always work, I saw one go up and soon had a hole in it. Turns out deer are pretty persistent and willing to break them. Paths are not just used by people.

Also check what options you have with uni IT. Some unis have student access to paid software or if you are a uni club.

I know what community this is, but is your clubhouse a registered non-profit? They can get 10 business premium licenses that include office at no cost on Microsoft 365. If you are worried about the activator it might be a less worrying route.

This has to be the best one here. The sheer lack of understanding of how to authenticate an account by the dev.

The point of having a high entropy password is to protect against hackers brute forcing a leaked database of hashes.

I don't think you need to worry about that in this case, the special character restriction suggests to me that they don't hash it.

Vim is a TUI, that's basically the same, they should be writing that config file using echo, sed and redirects!

Original Napster didn't support resume, so if it failed you started again. Later Napster-likes supported resuming files.

I feel like most replies have missed this fact.

I can't believe someone else got gunman chronicles. Although mine looks more like a half life cover than yours.

Rtcw is also my goto memory whenever someone mentions Wolfenstein. The modded 64 player servers were a blast despite the lag.

Yea sometimes you don't really know what is in the bundle you got. At least you didn't buy it multiple times.

 

So I managed to get part 1 of the day, but it took 2 seconds to run on the real input, which is a bad sign.

I can't see any kind of optimisation that means I can skip checks and know how many combinations are in those skipped checks (aside from 0.) I can bail out of branches of combinations if the info so far won't fit, but that still leads me to visiting every valid combination which in one of the examples is 500k. (And probably way more in the input, since if I can't complete the example near instantly the input is not happening.)

Right now I take the string, then replace the first instance of a ? with the two possible options. Check it matches the check digits so far then use recursion on those two strings.

I can try to optimise the matching, but I don't think that solves the real problem of visiting every combination.

I don't think (or hope) it's just bad code but this is my code so far (python.)

edit:

spoilera cache was the solution!
