I've completed "Step Counter" - Day 21 - Advent of Code 2023 https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/21

Oh polynomials - I dimly remember you from high school. This problem required me to reinvent calculus. Look for Leo's Principia coming soon.

I've completed "Pulse Propagation" - Day 20 - Advent of Code 2023 https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/20

Yes I'm still plugging away. Used OOP for this one, specifically Common Lisp's CLOS. Very elegant!

davesomebody,

@leo You inspired me to get back to work on Advent of Code.

Huge numbers? Shoelace don't care.

Took a lickin but kept on tickin'
Edsgar Dijkstra to the rescue!

zechariahs,

@leo I think you make a “day in the life” series. I don’t understand how you find the time to do so many things.

I just completed "The Floor Will Be Lava" - Day 16 - Advent of Code 2023 https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/16

That was fun. But where are the pathfinding problems?

PHolder,

@leo >where are the pathfinding problems?

Day 17 says hi!

Just learned of the passing of Bob Heil, legendary sound guy, ham radio mentor, and good friend.

Bob hosted our show "Ham Nation" for ten years and we've been using his PR-40 mics exclusively on TWiT ever since I met him at the second Podcast Expo in 2006.

RIP Bob. A great man. You will be missed.

kerban,

@leo I am so sorry to hear about this. The fact your studio uses PR 40 mics is what inspired me to save up money to get one for myself, which I now proudly use during my Twitch streams. The many compliments I receive regarding how good my voice sounds is a testament to Bob's skills and his drive for perfection. Thank you, Bob, for helping us all sound better.

I just completed "Lens Library" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2023 https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/15

Are these actually getting easier?

@leo The difficulty curve in 2023 was a lot more lumpy than usual.

I've completed "Parabolic Reflector Dish" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2023 https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/14

Still plugging away!

I just completed "Point of Incidence" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2023 https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/13

The difficulty this year was all over the map. This was easier than Day 5. And Day 12. But there were a few tricky parts. I was very proud of myself that I used closures both in 12 and 13. A new idea for me and very handy. On to 2023-14 which I am told is very hard.

I just completed "Hot Springs" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/12

Took me FOREVER! But at least it's done. Using recursion and memoization. This one was conceptually tough.

IrresponsibleScientist,

@leo It got heated on WW this week. I simultaneously loved it and felt extremely uncomfortable. Was glad I watched the video instead of listening this week for the facial expressions.

Cogent_Texan,

@leo
Great news

Take JCDvorak's advise and adopt value for value I addition to the club.

Mikah unboxed the Vision Pro yesterday. It was more fun watching him play with it than actually trying it myself.

Mikah wearing the Vision Pro for the first time. Not sure who he's talking to.

@leo Leaving aside the price point for a device that will likely be obsolete in a year or two, a headset that cannot be worn with glasses -- and that requires prescription inserts or contact lenses, is a nonstarter for many people.

I just completed "Pipe Maze" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/10

Part 2 was ... interesting. I took an intuitive leap of faith and it worked out.

I just completed "Mirage Maintenance" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/9

Chuckling about part 2.
