Toot

Written by ianto on 2024-10-21 at 19:58

For those that partake: you have about 58 kilominutes and change left before #AdventOfCode kicks in to break your schedule, your sleep, your relationships, your repo, your breakfast, your satisfaction with your tools, your favourite workchair, your misplaced belief that you can-absolutely-do-this-without-recursion-there-must-be-another-way, and the rest.

For everyone else, enjoy your December when it comes.

I can't wait to see what @ericwastl has come up with...

@bocs @ericwastl I am already practicing (using old problems from 2020 and a different account as a warmup; I did them then, but it is long enough ago I don't remember them all that well and definitely have more tools in my toolbox now). #adventofcode #elisp #emacs

@lispwizard @ericwastl enjoy. I decided years ago that i wasn't going to relearn how to drive Emacs. Impressed, but also sorry-not-sorry ;)

@bocs @ericwastl There are two main reasons I am using emacs: 1) most of the code is written in the common lisp loop macro (which is shared across many common lisp implementations and also exists in elisp) which allows compact and powerful code and 2) I can solve the puzzles while still in bed (under the covers because it is usually cold outside of them) for an hour or so in the morning before getting up to go do my real work.
