Ah, so that's what I've been doing wrong for 18 months. Thanks! I'll be putting this to good use :)

Please share the correct way! I didn't realize I'd been doing it wrong all these years.

This is pretty much what I do as well. It seems so simple and obvious in the retrospect but it took me years to figure it out. Thanks for the write up

Thanks for reminding me to try that again.

Last time was a couple of years ago and I had some trouble between instances but maybe I didn't do it right.

Yep, that's what I meant to do! Thanks.

Great point! I've updated the instruction.

Oh, I must be behind. Should've kept up and tried it. Thank you!

It's a good start but you will get stuck at higher level. in your case focus on increasing the value on the bottom left. When possible, shift the last line to the right. Never go up.

Lucadg | karma 908 | avg karma 2.4 · | 2010-12-30 21:19:04+00:00

thanks, done! I wrongly assumed that "Start" would have worked as well. Great advice I owe you one!

That's way too hard, it doesn't work. The trick is to just start doing it.

globular-toast | karma 3697 | avg karma 0.89 · | 2023-09-28 08:29:50

Good tip, but what the OP said is still valid. You shouldn't need to speculatively use |& then redo when you get interleaved rubbish.

b3morales | karma 2085 | avg karma 2.51 · | 2021-11-25 12:02:12

That inward-spiralling learning curve never ends. `selective-display' is my new trick for the day. Thanks!

symesc | karma 404 | avg karma 3.74 · | 2010-05-10 17:47:18

Bob, you just solved one of my problems with the N1. That technique works perfectly for me. Thanks!

revicon | karma 2514 | avg karma 5.94 · | 2020-02-07 21:23:19

Wow, this is something that's been bugging me constantly. Thanks for the tip.

jcun4128 | karma 698 | avg karma 0.84 · | 2021-05-05 06:24:40+00:00

These are good tips thanks. Yeah I find bullet pointing/chunking down helps.

quietplatypus | karma 66 | avg karma 0.8 · | 2015-07-14 16:49:16+00:00

Yeah that seems to have worked for me.

Also it's a great idea to call it iterative deepening. Lower memory requirements but gets the job done anyway! I used to judge myself harshly for not getting something on the first read around, but going through multiple times is normal for me now.

This is what I struggle with. I'm able to get it right only about a third of the time.

ridiculous_fish | karma 6729 | avg karma 5.37 · | 2015-08-23 08:42:02

You're right, that works! Thanks, I would not have arrived at that on my own.

vladharbuz | karma 1221 | avg karma 6.17 · | 2021-04-04 09:21:27+00:00

This is a a great tip. I also saw someone on the Graphics Programming Discord doing this. Time to chuck out that last row!
