Ale že mě tak to AOC dostane sem netušil. První den (pouze part 1) absolutně jsem nepřišel na to jak vyřešit druhou část… Den 6 jsem zvládl obě části (euforie) a pocit naděje.

Den 14.. po chvilce jsem to vzdal, hledám jiný úkol, tomu taky moc nerozumím… euforie je pryč. Deprese.

Zítra prostě musím nějak udělat 12. den!

Nicméně jsem fakt takový tupec? Nebo je to normál?

#AdventOfCode, #Python, #Junior

At last night’s @mug meeting we looked at a lot of different solutions to #adventofcode day 1 in many different languages. Two that were very interesting to me were #Zig and #haskell. The way these two languages worked was really quite fascinating. After seeing real code in these two languages, I can tell they are not for me; but they were interesting and illuminating nonetheless.

There was a solution entirely in #SQL. Another in #vim9script. Another in #swiftlang #swift (I don’t think that one’s in the repo yet). I wrote several implementations myself. The one I felt most proud of is #Python with the core written in #rustlang #rust tied together with #PyO3. The one I felt was maybe the best tool for the job was entirely based on #pandas. As I said in a previous post, I tried to solve it in #polars, but the API exposed by Polars at least as far as I could tell, made it no better than simple lists in Python. I need to get deeper knowledge here.

The repo lives here: https://github.com/MichiganUnixUserGroup/MUG-2025-03-11-Advent-of-Code.

If you're not subsribed to my #RSS, you might have missed that I published #adventofcode 2024 day 15 in #python!

https://advent-of-code.xavd.id/writeups/2024/day/15/

I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2024! #AdventOfCode #python https://adventofcode.com/

I returned to Day 21 Part 2 last week, finally got the 'shape' of the problem but failed to solve it again. Yesterday I restarted from my Part 1 solution and after some toe-stubbing it finally works! (silly mistakes are more obvious the next day)

AOC has been great for levelling up my Python skills and reminding me this is fun...sometimes.

Thank you @ericwastl !

New instance, new introduction!
I'm a late (mostly self) diagnosed autistic in recovery from autistic burnout. In spring 2024 I left a career at Apple Retail and have been finding myself since. I'm deeply passionate about and experienced with Apple tech. I also love Sci-Fi and Fantasy, mostly TV and movies these days. I'm a gamer, mostly playing on Mac, iPad, and Switch. I was once a software engineer and still pursue it as a hobby, mostly developing small projects for the Apple ecosystem in Swift.

@ericwastl I just completed #AdventOfCode 2019 and my goodness, what a masterpiece!

I really loved the Intcode interpreter and day 25 was a wonderful star at the top of the tree. Thank you so much!

I just completed "Garden Groups" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/12

I just completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2024 with Common Lisp!

P1 was pretty easy. But part 2 is very vaguely defined. I'm not proud of my solution to dump each tick to an ASCII PBM and look through the images manually, but it got it done. I had some ideas of what to do to automate it, that might still work with some tweaking now that I know what specifically I am looking for.

SaturdayMP Show 63: Advent of Code 2024 Day 12 (Part 3 - Solved!)

https://youtu.be/jOh7NLj7BxI

In this episode I finish the Advent of Code 2024 Day 12 problem! I also figured out how to do parameterized tests in Python. Any constructive feedback on my solution? How would you have solved it differently?

I just completed "Claw Contraption" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2024 with Common Lisp!

This one was easy with some middle-school algebra. The Hardest part was parsing the input.

Advent of Code Day 11 had a clever misdirection! I even used my FSM library, Genstates, to model the transformations. Blog post explains all!

SaturdayMP Show 62: Advent of Code 2024 Day 12 (Part 2 - Area Calculated)

https://youtu.be/p9bSVRxkGlk

In this episode I actually make some progress on the Advent of Code Day 12 problem and can calculate the area of a plot starting at a given point. Any feedback on my solution so far? Any Python tips for me?
