Just finished listening to the last Risky Business podcast for the year. Have been consistently impressed by the output quality (and volume) of @riskybusiness and team. If you work in #infosec and aren't already a regular consumer then you are missing out.

And here is a guy who has figured out a considerably better way to solve day 16. Lots of spoilers here: reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comm

It's that comment by zopatista that I'm talking about.

#AdventOfCode 2022 Day 18: Boiling Boulders

adventofcode.com/2022/day/18

SPOILERS AHEAD

What the heck? After the last few days, that was a breeze. Just built a voxel space from cube objects, each linked to their neighbors. And then filled the space from the outside.

With minerender.org/ you can render objects in #Minecreft style.

This is how my puzzle input looks like:
nharrer.github.io/AdventOfCode

It's roughly a ball, which is hollow inside. You can zoom in with the mouse.

My solution code in TypeScript:

Day 16 was a doozy and took me a while because I tried a "dynamic programming" solution when I (think I) shouldn't have. Oh well! Got it in the end:

As of today's Rust release, inline assembly supports `sym` operands to refer to symbols from within the assembly code.

Page 123 has a great diagram - a way of focusing yourself as you dig into that "157 unread items & 1000 read items" inbox.

My key takeaway from this book, so far, is to identify the "next action" for things in progress. The BUJO (bullet journal) method of organizing is extremely valuable (and seems simpler/more concrete than GTD), but the "identify your next action" is a simple powerful addition I think.

And the reason I posted anything at all - a note to myself for the future. I'm working with people trying to provide this type of environment at work, and it seems to be an open problem for them.

Next time we interact I will now ask better questions

For years (decades) I have ssh'd in and vim'd and tmux'd my way to success. This has been great, and I still love it as a way to work. Last two days my desktop has been turned off (home maintenance has necessitated I move it), and I've been using repl.it for Advent Of Code. Which is awesome.

It made me curious about the maturity of open source self-hosted versions of the same thing. It looks like they're very mature.

Just learned yesterday that Visual Studio is (essentially) open source (as code-oss), and also how easy it is to setup a self-hosted dev-in-browser experience for a group of people using "coder" and code-oss.

My favorite part is when Christopher Lewis's version of Philip Glass's "Metamorphosis 3" kicks in. It sounds super cool on harpsichord.

The snek in Part 2 of today's #AdventOfCode gave me more problems than I expected because of one pesky diagonal move option I forgot to check for, but I got there!

Reheating mashed potatoes is so strange. In the fridge they get all watery and cottage cheese-y. Then you heat them up halfway and mix them around and they still gross. I always think they'll be ruined and it's not worth the effort.

It's only when they're finally hot that they firm up and wind up perfect again. I don't think I could distinguish properly reheated ones from the originals.
