People trying to voice a moderate opinion in the US are told by both sides that they belong to the other, and end up isolated.
To feel part of a greater whole (which is a basic human need) in the US you have to be extreme. As someone who always tries to walk the centerline, this saddens me.

Liked that one :)
Trying my hand at learning Rust. So far I like 'everything is an expression', references and the concept of ownership a lot. Feels like a cohesive mental model, which should help when learning more advanced stuff.
The language feels higher-level than it is, which I suppose is a compliment :)
Agreed. If you are not skilled enough yourself to check the AI's work, you should not be using AI for that task. But if you can? Big win.
The moment in Fallout 3 you step out into the wasteland. Iconic.
I'll settle for Legendary, thanks.

I'm following the 'Build a custom scripting language' and 'Pratt Parsing' series of videos by Tyler Laceby.
For a language builder novice like myself this was a nice introduction to the key concepts: lexer, parser, ast, interpreter, scope and so forth.
Any1 have suggestions for similar tutorials?
Yeah, no, happy with Part 1 thank you. Part 2 requires way too much actual understanding of logic gates :)
I've completed Part One of "Crossed Wires" - Day 24 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/24
Not entirely sure I went the intended way, but fixed it and got rid of half the code in the process :P
Day [23] ✅ I got the Yeti one step closer to home at DebugDecember.com #DebugDecember
In the end I just had to add caching and some early exits to my recursive solution from Part 1. Pretty happy with 65k iterations and sub-second runtime in #typescript #nodejs.
I just completed "LAN Party" - Day 23 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/23
Today was 'precompute all the things'-day for my brute-force solution, and it was enough.
In the end I added 1 to my answer and it was correct... Feels dirty, but educated :)
I just completed "Monkey Market" - Day 22 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/22
So yeah, my solution to Part 1 does not scale. At all. I think I'm going to have to give up on part 2.
Really nice learning about cyclical graph traversal though :)
I've completed Part One of "Keypad Conundrum" - Day 21 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/21
Approached this like a pathfinding problem. That cost me 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Had a lightbulb moment, after that 20 minutes for Part 1 and 5 more minutes for Part 2.
I just completed "Race Condition" - Day 20 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/20
Yeah, agreed. When things do not work like you want/expect them to 🙃
Really enjoying Debug December. I'm getting to use hard-earned code intuition and knowledge about edge cases and javascript idiosyncrasies. Nicely bite-sized challenges as well.
Day [20] ✅ I got the Yeti one step closer to home at DebugDecember.com #DebugDecember
I had a pretty optimized working (on a smaller dataset) solution which would have ran in an hour or so, which got me thinking that this may not be the direction they wanted me to take :P
I tried to hang on too long to storing the actual results, should've just counted...
I just completed "Linen Layout" - Day 19 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/19
My 2024 was a good day for you guys to come over and watch the kids tonight and I love you too or your device.
Yeah, thanks for the concise writeup! I figured out the general idea overnight (thanks, sleep!) but don't have time to code it (and that day's challenge) until the holidays, in which I /will/ get that ⭐ :)
How does that even work? A signed contract has to be honored, no? Or is this one of those US - EU differences?
Soooo much easier than day 17 part 2 (which I still haven't finished). I debated giving up, but this one got me back in.
I just completed "RAM Run" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/18
Dentist visit just now:
Me: "I was here 5 months ago"
Dentist: "No you weren't?"
Me: "Had two cavities filled in these teeth right here"
D: "Nope. Also you wisdom teeth are not in the photos"
Me: "Sure you have the right files?"
D: "Of course! Born in '79 right?
*silence*
D: 'Well shit'
2 stars for A star Get it?
I just completed "Reindeer Maze" - Day 16 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/16
Had a really nasty bug that only showed itself on the real data. Victory though :)
I just completed "Warehouse Woes" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/15
The snow. Bravo.
Yeah, I feel that.
I don't want to come across as /that/ European, but I am glad for the 3-month auto-renewal I get for all the executive function reasons already mentioned. And I still forget to pick it up from the automatic dispenser regularly :D
--- Possible spoiler for Advent of Code Day 14 Part 2! ---
I animated Part 2, enjoy! #AdventOfCode #typescript
