my dad just text me. We don't really get on much, but when we do it's over maths.
Tonight is "I saw a math question on TV that asked for a 5 digit number whose factors sum to a prime number in the fibonacci sequence. "
So tonight I'm doing haskell. Functional languages keep families together, kids.
TURNS OUT THAT"S REALLY COMPUTATIONALLY EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU'RE BAD AT HASKELL
@bstacey Shit, did you actually get to the answer? This is actually taking my processor forever, maybe I did actually write something wrong.
@edensaesthetic I got an answer. The time-intensive part was computing the sums of the factors, since I foolishly used a data structure with more memory and lookup-time overhead than I needed.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm paid to use a computer for work, clearly I am not the right person to be trusted
@edensaesthetic hey dont feel bad i get paid to yell at people on twitter
@edensaesthetic I futzed my way through to the answer in Python, much more slowly than I bet I could if I were adequately able to brain today.
