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://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Rust

Part 2 is crazy slow, but it works, so thats cool :D

~~Edit: Gonna fix this, because pt2 is stupid.~~

Much better, 2.4s. Still slow, but not 6 minutes slow.

Six minutes? ๐Ÿ˜… I was feeling crappy about my 30 seconds (my naive big O cubed(?) logic means my code spends most of its time testing array equalities - 72 billion samples in the flamegraph!)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Most of my time is wasted on hashmap stuff. And the processing into the string, which really isnt needed anymore. :/

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Have you tried gxhash or one of the other non-cryptographic hashers?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I probably should give that a try. Looks like it can just drop in, so might try it later. I see FxHash is pretty popular here as well.
