2 days ago I started solving the problems on https://projecteuler.net/ recommended to me by @AlmondSauce and I already regret knowing python, a relatively simple calculation -ish took roughly 4 hours to compute

    @groxx yeah I figured out that my brute force approach was horrible, I saw some beautiful implementations after submitting the answer, now i am implementing better algorithms to try and solve them better

    Just as a quick edit to amplify my genius, I found an algorithm that helped me finish the calculation in under 30 minutes : /

    @groxx i usually just throw the problems into haskell and it magically finishes super fast, idk how

    If you take more than 1 minute(even on python) to solve a problem, that means your algo can be further optimized. I've solved nearly 200 of them and almost all of them can be solved within 15 seconds

    Which specific problem are you talking about here? I never got past number 40 or so, and there are a few in the middle I have not tackled yet…

    @SomeNone I believe it was the sum of every prime under 2 million I think

    @hamolicious Oh, that one, Euler#10. Sieve an array with the Eratosthenes algorithm, then sum up the non-zero items. Should run in well under a second.
