movq 📎<p>I’m still not really sure <em>how</em> I’m going to stretch out the upcoming <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/AdventOfCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdventOfCode</span></a> to a full month. 🤔</p><p>I originally thought about doing a puzzle every other day, like day 1 = puzzle 1, day 3 = puzzle 2, …, but I probably won’t be able to resist doing a new puzzle every day, so I guess I’ll follow the regular schedule for the first half of the month. That’s going to be Python 1 on SuSE Linux 6.4.</p><p>And then … I don’t know. 🤔 Re-do the puzzles in another language? Make a visualization for each puzzle? Hmm.</p><p>On the other hand, we don’t know yet how hard the puzzles are going to be. Maybe I need the full month just to get through those 12 puzzles. 🤪</p>

b4ux1t3 :trek_ds9_sisko:#1️⃣<p>So, I'm doing <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AdventOfCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdventOfCode</span></a> 2019 (Intcode) in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OCaml</span></a> in my spare time to practice in preparation for doing this year. I'm pretty proud of it so far. I've built lots of emulators and virtual machines in my day, but never in a functional language.</p><p><a href="https://codeberg.org/b4ux1t3/aoc-2019-ocaml/src/branch/main/lib/DayTwo.ml" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/b4ux1t3/aoc-2019-</span><span class="invisible">ocaml/src/branch/main/lib/DayTwo.ml</span></a></p><p>I'm even doing, like, string-to-int parsing and stuff myself, just to get into the mindset.</p>
Saaste<p>Joulukuun alkuun on enää reilut 2,5 viikkoa ja se tarkoittaa, että pitäisi päättää aikooko osallistua tämän vuoden Advent of Codeen. No tietenkin aion!</p><p>Tänä vuonna AoC:ssa on pari pientä muutosta. </p><p>Ensinnäkin globaalia top-listaa ei enää ole. Ihmiset ottivat sen liian tosissaan ja se täyttyi AI-generoidusta koodista.</p><p>Toinen muutos on se, että haastepäiviä on 25 sijaan vain 12.</p><p>Otan molemmat muutokset ilolla vastaan. Mukavaa, ettei haaste ole päällekäin joulun juhlapäivien kanssa. 12 haastepäivää on muutenkin hyvä määrä, koska yleensä turnausväsymys alkaa hiipiä päälle puolen välin jälkeen.</p><p>Jos olet ohjelmoija, osallistu sinäkin ja jos mahdollista, kerro kotisivuillasi/blogissasi miten ratkaisit haasteet ☺️ </p><p><a href="https://adventofcode.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">adventofcode.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ohjelmointi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ohjelmointi</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/AdventOfCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdventOfCode</span></a></p>
Jez 🍞🌹:heart_autistic_pride:<p>OK, <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/AdventOfCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdventOfCode</span></a> approaches so it's time to start deciding what language to use for this year's challenges. I've pretty much narrowed my choices down to either Haskell (because I find writing it a genuine pleasure) or a Lisp, probably Racket or Common Lisp (because I want to learn one of those two).</p><p>Decisions, decisions... :neocat_think:</p>

Pier-Luc Brault<p>Counting the days to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AdventOfCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdventOfCode</span></a> ! There will be only 12 puzzles this year, finishing December 12th, which sounds perfect for my busy late December schedule!</p>

Three weeks to go until Advent of Code starts again, for the 11th time since 2015. Big changes this year: no more global leaderboard (yay) and there will only be 12 daily puzzles instead of 25 (aw). I totally understand the reason: a passion project taking way too much free time. My hope for the new schedule was: one puzzle every other day, but the verdict seems to be: Dec 1-12.

One month to go until kicks off. Strongest recommend for anyone wanting to improve problem solving and coding skills. Massive props to @ericwastl for a decade! of great puzzles and stories, looking forward to whatever it's next.
So, \@elves, \@walls, %gridmap, $part1, $part2, Data::Dumper and List::Utils ... get ready friends.
