I am very proud to show off my newest video! I’ve had a lot of thoughts about how something like #RegularExpressions could be implemented in a limited #esolang like #Funciton but I never took the time to actually implement it... until I ran into Day 3 of #AdventOfCode 2024, which provided a challenge best solved with a #regex. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImzcTmB0m0k

To conclude Day 2 of #AdventOfCode 2024! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v01n-VUJoVw #funciton #esolang #esolangs #aoc2024

The saga continues! #AdventOfCode 2024, Day 2, part 1, in #Funciton! https://youtu.be/kNG45WkMCO8 #esolang #esolangs #aoc2024

I want to go for an easy language for the next #AdventOfCode. The obvious choice being Python. And I really liked using my old PC in 2024, soooo I’m thinking about doing that again to get a proper #RetroComputing theme.

And I would also love to have a UNIX shell this time.

So, how about going for SuSE Linux 6.4 and Python 1.5?

(Yes, I’m planning ahead. )

I put off writing this for two months, and I am not happy with how it came out but I am trying to blog more regularly so here's an article on how to write a defmemo macro in #elixir which I did during the 2024 #adventofcode

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 !

I'm going to start solving Advent of Code 2024 in #Funciton. Day 1 puzzle 1 is already live: https://youtube.com/watch?v=9Kegyt7xNVQ #aoc2024 #adventofcode #esolang #esolangs

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 "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 using Common Lisp! This one wasn't even hard compared to day 9!

I just completed "Warehouse Woes" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/15 in #ABAP

Time for an #AdventOfCode retrospective.

Last month, my Advent of Code journey had three main parts:

1. Solving puzzles with Python
2. Writing explanations
3. Publishing them as a digital garden

And it was a success on all three fronts. 37 stars with puzzle solving, fun with explanation writing and a good first experiment with digital garden that led me to publishing my actual notes this month too.

https://hamatti.org/posts/advent-of-code-2024-retrospective/

Picked up where I left it, and continued solving #adventofcode puzzles using #guile. Day 14.

Part 1: https://codeberg.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/advent-of-code-2024/src/commit/3849b79d42f30d4485f1453cc0b2852b61c9636a/day-14/part-01.scm
Part 2: https://codeberg.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/advent-of-code-2024/src/commit/3849b79d42f30d4485f1453cc0b2852b61c9636a/day-14/part-02.scm

I checked on aoc subreddit though, whether I am just stupid and don't understand, what I am supposed to look for, or I really need to guess around what the puzzle author means. I came up with a criterion, that actually works, but only if you know or guess how to parameterize it and give it a bit of time to run. To me this was unpleasant.

I've completed Part One of "Code Chronicle" - Day 25 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/25

In my quest of solving #AdventOfCode problems in interesting ways, this time I solved the 2020 problem "Seating System" with comonads and stencils in #Haskell. Read my latest #blog post about it: https://abhinavsarkar.net/posts/solving-aoc20-seating-system/

I think that wraps up #AdventOfCode for me this year ... 59 solutions in total.
