In-reply-to » @prologic @xuu Don't think I can reply to the thread in twtwt. Right now Jenny is not working for some reason. I wonder if @movq has any ideas. Anyway I am happy to be back and will see if I can get jenny working. Though my following list is gone now. Plus I can't see when someone mentions me if I am not follwing them so I should work on that.

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz Sure thing. The address is on my website. 👌

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.

In-reply-to » 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 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh I can sort of see the visualization (sort of), but it’ll be faster if you explain wtf the algorithm is in textual form 😅

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz If you can describe the problem, maybe I can help.

@prologic@twtxt.net I can try to explain, if you want to know. 😅 Or maybe this guy’s visualization will help (if you can see it, not sure): https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/18af47j/2023_day_4_scratchcard_counting/

A couple centimeters of snow today. 😊 And I’ve got a loooooooong vacation coming up. Time to relax. 😃

This is my favorite time of the year – by far. Even if it means the snow will freeze in my beard. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha I’m too stupid to work out what that trick is 😆 Or too tied or both 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net (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. 😂)

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz At the very least you can copy/paste the subject and hash in your reply 😆
