Don't feel bad, on my first flight I ran into the sun by accident.

Kept working on it and was rewarded with the rest of the game. For real I continued to die to spaceship piloting issues but it didn't ruin the game for me.

If you don't mind having email go through Gmail etc, then you might not want to full host, but just run a local IMAP server. There are some pop to SMTP solutions you can use to pull your emails (fetchmail.) you can then use your account as an outbound relay. Keep in mind you'll only be able to set this up for a single account if you use something like Gmail.

If you buy a business product like workspace or m365, you should be able to setup relay/hybrid connectors for multiple accounts.

Accountants have it hard even if they do keep up-to-date. We migrated one to a new server, but some of their clients still use archaic versions of accounting software. Unfortunately beyond a particular age it won't activate the new install, so they are stuck telling the client to upgrade or continue to run the old server as well.

This meme is basically what airplane 2 was.

Bd players need internet as they only have keys for the discs made before they were made. So if you stick a newer disc in it won't play until it gets updated.

I tell non techy people to use a physical book that they can secure. People know how to do hide things or put them in a safe. Digital security is harder to understand and I would say a book in a safe place is way better than reusing passwords they find hard to remember.

I think the reason they drop these things is that the project leaders move on and one one wants to take that job anymore. If there is no one to push it, no one cares and it gets axed. The person that setup Google+ probably wasn't around after it launched, so momentum was just completely lost.

Calling them greedy gives them more credit than the apathy they had to begin with.

Microsoft actually tried to make these changes to prevent the need for kernal drivers. However security companies called foul and the EU told ms to not continue. There was worry that defender would end up with better access than 3rd party products.

For me it was the Microsoft intellimouse, the led one. It had 5 buttons, one on each side so it was also ambidextrous. Now I have a mouse graveyard box.

Hopefully it also means they are more likely to stay up. During one of the next feats I downloaded a few demos to try later, but as soon as the fest ended I need to purchase to play some of them. I guess as the demo was just the main game, but set as a demo.

You're not safe there either, they had almost the same issue on the Linux version of the product a few months ago.

 

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!
