Discontent is a flame that must be kept burning brightly, and not smothered by an interest or activity that is pursued as a reaction to the pain of it. Discontent is painful only when it is resisted. One who is merely satisfied, without understanding the full significance of discontent, is asleep; they are not sensitive to the whole movement of life. Satisfaction is a drug, and it is comparatively easy to find. But to understand the full significance of discontent, the search for certainty must cease.

Day 8 marks the 5th appearance of this whisky in an advent calendar for me: Glenfiddich's Gran Reserva 21 year old single malt at 40% ABV. Tastes just as I remember: fruitcake in a glass with an oaken finish.

Yet Another Busy Night (a wake, the FrizzLit Moby Dick Book Club, other projects), so this is just the dram framed up on top of last night's project, a map from Edgar Rice Burroughs I'm redrawing to use as endpapers for bookbinding.

I spent an inordinate amount of time on part1 because
* imo the problem definition is wrong
* it does matter if you put permutations or combinations in the list, even if you filter them out :(

Part 2 is basically the same and I already did it in ruby so I'm not doing it again, at least not today.

I wanted to do this with union-find but I have yet to get to the chapter about generics and it seems cheating to do it without it :)

Day 8 done.

Now that's what I call Advent of Code! I'm happy with the algorithm for the most part. I'm sure it could be improved, but I paired up all boxes and pushed them into a BinaryHeap based on their squared distances, then popped the number based on the number of connections to consider (1000 for the real input). These I pushed into a set of "network" HashSets. This is the part I'm least happy with. I iterate the vector of networks to match each point to a network, and if they're both in a network, I extend the earlier one from the later and remove the later. I considered a lot of ways to improve this, but couldn't come up with one that wouldn't be either buggy or inefficient. I'll probably look at the Reddit solutions thread to see how other people tackled it.

Part 2 was really similar in execution to part 1, but continuing until all points were in a network and there was only one network, and keeping track of the last pair added.

Whew, this one was just the right amount of challenging and fun. Most of the days were pretty easy before today's. Now all we're missing is a nice A* problem.

Urban
Saint Petersburg, Russia. My Centre.
Today I focused on a lightweight, yet informative basemap, which I could use in other projects.
I called it My Center, because there are a lot of opinions what is to be called the centre. This is my view.
Tools - QGIS, QuickOSM
The style is based on the "Urban" style in the QuickOSM preset

#TimeTravelAuthors #Day8 I swore I was going to stay on top of my posts this month and in the first week I’m already time traveling back to the previous day to make up for missing yesterday’s post.

This one took about an hour from start to finish. If nothing else, this guy's got some real personality to him! #gobtober #day8 #shaman #ttrpg #goblin

A close-up painting of an eye rendered in a dramatic, expressionist style. The gaze is intense and weary, framed by deep shadows and ochre tones that blend into violet highlights. The fingers partially cover the mouth below, as if in contemplation or despair. Bold black outlines and stark contrasts give the image a haunting emotional weight.

Wreck-It-Ralph would be considered a reckless character, right?

A drawing of the eponymous character of Disney’s Wreck-It-Ralph franchise.

Para esta palabra tenía muy claro que tenía que dibujar a Poison Ivy, pero como ya la he dibujado en otras ocasiones esta vez me decidí por la versión de la nueva serie de animación de Harley Quinn, una versión algo distinta de lo habitual.
