that still automatically pulls the content even if its manually reviewed which makes it go out much faster than any people manually making memes would be able to post at

just space things out so youre not doing more than a couple a day here and dont just copy titles and stuff 1 for 1

Day 1: Historian Hysteria

Megathread guidelines

  • Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
  • You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://blocks.programming.dev/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

FAQ

Advent of Code is an annual Advent calendar of small programming puzzles that can be solved in any programming language you like.

Puzzles have a backstory and then a collection of different inputs with people getting a random input and needing to submit the corresponding output for the puzzle and their input to successfully complete it.

Puzzles start easy and get harder as the days go on. Every day has two different puzzles in increase in difficulty with you getting access to the second puzzle after solving the first.

Puzzles are released every day at midnight ET and can be completed anytime after they are released (but people who solve them quicker after they're been released get more points for the site leaderboard).

What can I post here?

Anything relating to the event! Whether that be a meme, asking for help, sharing solutions, etc.

Every day a megathread will be posted that solutions to that day should go into. In the megathread you can post code using code blocks or by linking to repositories or pastebins.

To make a code block make three backticks, make a new line and put the code on lines, then put a newline and do three backticks on that

e.g.

```
console.log('Hello World')
```

becomes

console.log('Hello World')  

If you want a spot to post code externally (e.g. if it is too large or you want to have a spot to store it) we have a forgejo instance and an opengist instance

you can find them at https://git.programming.dev/ and https://blocks.programming.dev/


How should I format my post titles?

Try to keep titles in this general format:

[help, etc. category if applicable] [YEAR Day # (Part X)] [programming language if applicable] Post Title

For example:

[2023 Day #5 (Part 3)] [Rust] My attempt at a solution

Another example:

[Help] [2023 Day #2] What does this sentence mean

This helps people avoid spoilers and lets people use it as an archive by searching if they find out about the event in the middle and are starting from the beginning

This makes it so you can see details about things in the scene without needing to manually swap

114

This makes it easier to print out multiple things at the same time without needing to do a bunch of string concatenation

Easy way you can remember it is thinking s for space and t for tab. When you want to print normally just call print. Otherwise add s for space or t for tab on the end of the function for the separators.

Changing this to the lowest value (0.01) makes suggestions always appear instantly for really quick coding

I'm continuing my tip series with some more tips (ended up stopping it before since I got busy with some projects). Will have a goal of having tips at least until the new year

People interact with the site that dont have accounts on the site

Making it local only would lock them out of news and discussion about something they interact with

We recently did an update to 0.19.5

Along with this came a bug that makes hidden communities not function properly so that they will still appear in the all feed

I have reported this on the lemmy repo and once the devs fix that bug our all feeds should go back to normal (but for now content such as politics and bot communities may appear for a bit)

Heres the bug report if anyones interested in that https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5074

Hey everyone! Recently made yet another jam game with this one being made for the 12th brackeys jam

Theme of the jam was Calm before the Storm so instantly thought of a system similar to Frostpunk where you have a city and then conditions end up getting worse as time goes on. This was then adapted to be a city that is getting more flooded over time after brainstorming with my jam team.

If youve got any feedback feel free to throw it below or on the game page. I should be eventually pushing out a post jam update based on the feedback gotten

Game link: https://team-auboreal.itch.io/floodworks

Game made in 4 days for the GMTK jam along with two composers and another person person helping out with some of the code

Seems like lemmyverse doesnt have the instance listed at all for some reason, assuming a crawling issue. I reported it on their repository. Would be new since I remember it showing the instance before

You can check in https://programming.dev/communities that programmer humor has way more active users than most communities here

Praise my GitHub profile (praise-me.fly.dev)

There was a roast my github profile site going around recently so as a counter to that someone made a praise my github profile. Enter your profile and get an AI complimenting you

Since mods and admins can't control what gets hashtagged it can hashtag the completely wrong things

For example we have a community called c/loud. This is a cloud community but will be hashtagged with #loud

We also have a community called c/meta and similar other communities but the hashtag should be something similar to programming.dev meta since meta itself doesn't make sense. Currently its assuming you know what scope of meta you're in due to it being attached to the instance but hashtags are free for alls so the hashtag is going to be impossible to follow (other communities that fall within this are comics, events, books as they are programming or programming.dev specific which is currently assumed due to the url)

That would massively hinder growth since actual users would get affected and then leave since they can't actually use the platform

Probably better to set up some link blacklists and then add things to it based on what spammers are linking to

edit: what you linked to is also not a community, did you mean !technology@lemmy.world or !tech@programming.dev?

edit: Site is back up, pictrs is still upgrading so uploads may fail or be slow until the upgrade is done.

(all the alt frontends are also currently down so that pictrs can be upgraded faster)

Edit 2: seems to be done

We usually hide bot communities here which would include zerobytes but my hiding system recently broke a bit due to the 0.19 update so I haven't hid any recently

I can fix that and hide the new communities that popped up

(Hiding just means they dont show on the feeds by default but show for someone if they subscribe to them)

Edit: Fixed the issues with my system and hid the main ones that appeared in the scaled feed, ill hide more as I see them

Edit #2: There is also a way to block an instance like you said by going to your user settings and then the blocks tab on web but this is one case that should be getting handled by us

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 17 points 2 years ago

There was some repeated patterns that this user seems to have been doing so I gave them an instance wide ban

  • Posts would be deleted and then reposted (especially if the original post had a negative score)
  • Conflicting information in some of the articles

LemmyBB is just an alternate frontend. It is possible to not federate with any other instances though by turning federation off in the instance settings

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They defederated from both programming.dev and sh.itjust.works recently since they held a vote and they had enough upvotes to do so. Reasoning for programming.dev was due to people in our instance coming in there with supposedly bad takes but I feel like thats a major overreaction to block an entire instance of people with different views (with the different views appearing due to it not being political at all inside the instance) due to a couple people going in there instead of just moderating the individual users. The message to defederate from us also only has 13 upvotes and was both programming.dev and sh.itjust.works which I feel isnt really a majority opinion of their instance if they want one since it confounds the upvotes of two different instances and is a relatively low amount for their monthly active users

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 16 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

A bunch of the users on programming.dev have accounts in smaller and personal instances rather than in p.d itself since they can host instances. You can see some of the logos in our area such as c++ and some of rust are missing

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 15 points 3 years ago

Lemmy itself has had some bugs that are bringing down a bunch of instances at once. Should hopefully be resolved in a future update
