@xuu I ask myself that question every year. 🤣

To be fair, the first part wasn’t really that difficult. If you have *A LOT* of experience with these kind of problems/puzzles and if you have a proper framework, I imagine it’s doable. (I, on the other hand, spent about 40 minutes just writing my C code to parse the input.)

Some of these people record themselves and then post it on YouTube. It’s pretty crazy to watch. 🥴

The second part of the puzzle, was/is pretty hard, though. At least for me, because I haven’t found “the trick” yet. I’m currently trying to brute-force it while having breakfast. 😅 (But given that it took ~8 minutes for the first person to get both stars, maybe they brute-forced it as well. With a faster machine and multithreading, ~8 minutes sounds about right. Brute-force is rarely the answer in AoC, though.)

@eapl.me I have many fond memories of Turbo pascal and Turbo C(++). They really did have a great help system. And debug tools! Its rare for language docs to be as approachable. QBasic was great. As was PHP docs when I first came into web.

Se também eras junkie do GTA2 (lançado em 1999!), vais gostar de saber que o jogo está à disposição no Internet Archive, e há mods (este e este) para trazer melhoramentos

descoberto num tweet do Vinicius Medeiros -- não quero fazer hábito de transplantar cenas do passaralho para aqui, mas há algumas demasiado boas para não divulgar

@movq Awesome! :-) I just relaxed last week. Two more to go and then I'm done for quite some time, too. Can't wait.
It is a pleasure to work with the help system of Borland’s Turbo C++ 3.0 on DOS. The descriptions are clear and concise. There are short and simple examples. Pretty much every help page is cross-refenced and those links can be *clicked*.

That second photo is from our local pond. See all those tracks in the snow? Those are from the ducks and the other birds that stayed here.

@prologic (Mild spoilers ahead.)

Today’s puzzle was one of those where I immediately knew that there *must* be a solution that does not require actually copying anything. AoC often has these kinds of problems that make it *look like* you have to create lots of duplicates, multiply objects, stuff like that. That’s often a sign that you can solve it by doing something simple. 😅 (If only that was true in real life as well. 😂)

Today's #AdventofCode #2023 was a bit of a whoozie 🤣 Not only did I have to work today (_today being Monday et all_), but also had to deal with a minor incident, then have dinner, etc and by the time I got back to my half-finished day 4 puzzle, I got a bit stuck with the 2nd part 🤦‍♂️ I guess I don't really like array manipulation, it's so easy to get lost 🤣
