The regular requests to newchatmessages.php are not a good enough indicator? (assuming that "new" chat is the only chat good enough for our purposes)

Managed to double-post. The above is an example of dynamic programming, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem#Dynamic_programming_in-advance_algorithm

That's not a LP problem. LP isn't very good with integer constraints, and integer programming is unnecessarily complicated for this. For this (known and unchanging value for each size, unlimited availability), the solution is something like best_found_diet=[]; // dynamic array for (i=1; i<=...

I parse it to mean the multitude of clans where various (both active?) faxbots store faxable monsters (and then retrieve them from).

That might have been either because live-and-repeat (unlocking extra noncombats might prevent the desirable ones from appearing on early free turns?), or the ghost busting iotm (because unlocking extra zones (cemetary?, tower?, I don't know ...) messes with which ghosts get triggered)...

It is my impression that you need to fight the BC penguin with robortender out to get the siphon, and you need to fight it with the catburglar out to get a heist against it. One or the other.

Wait what? What for? I mean, why the penguin? It's not like you are getting fish heads without robortender ... Is it just the only black crayon in the network?

How about enabling new syntax if the script declares "since r<revision that is known to understand the syntax>"?

It's probably shopwtf from ckb's wtf relay collection: http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?15696-WTF-Relay-script-collection&highlight=shopwtf It does the same thing in other shops, including batfellow (where it was especially inconvenient). I think I just removed the removal from my local copy.

Possibly something to the effect of boolean aborted = true; try { ... aborted = false; } finally { if (aborted) { ... } } ? (unless you also return from inside the try {} block; any non-abort way of leaving the block would need its own aborted=false)

Didn't that stop being a thing, one API after another?

You might want to use scripts instead. Just 1) place files named "inferno" and "consume" anywhere in mafias scripts/ folder (they can be in a subfolder, I do that for all my private scripts) 2) place the commands you had in those aliases into the appropriate script files (you can even place one...

I just 1) updated and built mafia from current svn 2) installed current tortoisesvn (1.10) 3) upgraded all my mafia/svn/ script directories (to workspace version 1.8) 4) relocated them all from https://... to svn://... 5) ran mafia and did "svn update" in it All scripts checked revision and...

Does that (that=no message) happen only there, or is it caused by Anapests?

Well, I am learning this too, myself. (apparently, you can spell svn relocate as svn switch --relocate ? or maybe it's just that the second command can do both things at once?) I never had any reason to use switch and the last time I used relocate was many years ago. The new hotness for my...

The SSL certificate for zachbardon.com expired yesterday, needs extending again ;)

Yep, relocate is what you should be using. Switch is for moving the root path within a larger repository. Relocate is for changing the URL for the entire repository.

acquire/obtain (and all related automated retrieval) has a price limit above which it won't buy anything. There are some edge cases around items that cost more than the limit, but can be created from ingredients that individually cost less than the limit. "buy" doesn't, but it can fail if that...

That won't automatically upgrade the (local on-disk) repositories. Do we want a command for that, or an auto-upgrade somewhere?

SVN supports a switch/relocate command, which just changes the URL that needs to be changed for that. Worst case, you can do it from command line (you might need to get command line tools that support the same version of local repository as mafia's copy of svnkit does; I think svnkit has...
