Code to Calculate All Double Dips

dairy_queen

This repository contains python code to calculate all possible "double dips" for a specified set of show times, according to specified parameters.

A double dip (really, an n dip) is just a fancy (non-technical) term to mean a sequence of movies. You may know this by another term, but if you've ever gone to the movies and seen two films in sequence, you've double dipped.

Now, extend this to n films, back-to-back, and you've just completed an n-dip...

Installation and Usage

There's a vagrant box (ubuntu 14.04 64-bit) provisioned to test everything out on. The provisioning is rather basic:

  1. install git, and vim
  2. install rethinkdb and set it up to start as a service
  3. install python via miniconda

The python step is a bit weighty -- it'll cost however much miniconda weighs as well as an addition 95 MB (for jupyter, pandas, and requests).

Once you've booted up the vagrant machine:

cd /path/to/dairy_queen
vagrant up

you can access the rethinkdb dashboard via http://localhost:1880/ or you can work in an jupyter notebook via http://localhost:1888/

To access the DB you can use the following port:

  • default: 28015 (guest) => 8015 (host) // JS or Python

Of course you can always get into the vagrant box via

vagrant ssh

Should you want to use vim in all of its pre-configured glory, you'll have to run the install procedure from inside the vagrant box:

vim -e +PluginInstall +VimProcInstall +qall now
