Well, that was a month. Congrats everyone who has reached the end, and thanks to everyone who has contributed solutions and advice.
Sometime in January I will create a megathread for visualizations. If anyone has any other ideas, happy to hear them, otherwise, take a well earned 11 month rest until next year :D
Congrats to everyone! Not first year, though first year of at least trying every problem. Burnout definitely got me by day 20 though, ha ha ha… There was a lot of ugly (readability a backseat to “code writing speed”), a lot of bad (don’t ask how long the test suite has to run for), but an occasional gem of good (my day 19 solution is some of the most dopamine from just writing code I’ve gotten. I’m only used to getting that much when it actually gets merged). I learned a little through the problems themselves, but I did learn a lot about writing
macro_rules
macros by creating a test suite generator and a benchmark generator. I also picked up some useful Git knowledge like--allow-unrelated-histories
, interactive rebasing,--name-only
, and using the reflog to help recover data (don’t ask what happened on day 23). This year was a personal success. Till next year!Yay, I made it in the screenshot! Thanks everyone, this was my first year and it was a lot of fun!
Made it in the screenshot and beat me :). Congrats on finishing, in my mind, that’s the hardest part!
Hey that’s me! Congrats to everyone!
What do you mean final :( I am at 20 and am planning to at least do a couple more :p before the new year.
Exactly, I’m going to be trying to tick a few more off if I have time
That’s what I told myself last year :D good luck!
My apologies, keep going and ill update the post on new years eve. I dont think you’ll managed to reach the top spot though :D
for sure not but maybe I will make it to the screenshot :/
Tbh, I cut the screenshot off there because it fit myself in, so its only fair I extend for the update. Sadly I am the second Cameron on the list :(
tbh even if I solve all the remaining 5 problems, I will likely not even pass 30!
If I sort it by global score, we are all tied for 2nd :D
It was nice to see some of the same faces (as it were) again from last year!
Also great to see more Haskell solutions, and props to those crazy enough to write in J and Uiua.
