Advent of Code 2022 started today.
Anybody else doing it this year? Although, I shouldn’t ask that question. I really want to do it in Rust this year, and avoid all kinds of competition. 😅 (Competition would drive me to not using Rust, because I’m still not very productive with this language.)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I tried last year, but it’s complicated for me to program every day on vacations. I’d like more like a weekly challenge or something more relaxed.
That said I learned a lot… So I’ll try this year at least to look at the answers.
What I loved to do is take some intensive course online, where I had to program hours per day, to achieve the course. unfortunately after 80% (almost 2 month) I had to stop, (no more time), so I never graduated. I wanted to restart (because I had all the code) but my PC burnt and I lost everything.
Actually my house burnt to the ground, and my pc was inside, so my PC burnt.
The course was a standford course (in their old platform lagunita) by the famous Professor Jeffrey Ullman. But you can find the course (very interesting already read the book many times, before he burnt too :D) in edx : https://www.edx.org/course/mining-massive-datasets?index=product&queryID=99850d48786919886c407ba517259a5c&position=1
@tkanos@twtxt.net damn! I don’t know what to say, I hope it’s only recoverable losses.
Reading your tweet, I remembered a joke from a local comedian. Something like “News by phone”.
It starts with a dead parrot 🦜, you can guess increasing tragedies are told, including a burnt house 🏠.
Sorry, I thought the PC was burnt due to the AoC somehow.
I meant, the course you were taking 😵💫
XD
Oh man 🤦♂️ Advent of Code. I’ve done it two years in a row, but this year I just can’t seem to musty up enough energy and “spare time”. New job, blah, something else, blah 😅 Maybe next year and I’ll probably do what you’ve done @movq@www.uninformativ.de – My own pace 👌
