colorless green idea

My talk about our SDL based integration scheme is up. A sneak peek into how our engineers build the GraphQL schema and our motivation for doing it like this. youtu.be/kMOq3nf8vKY

@OmgImAlexis No but they should immerse themselves in the topics you have to studie to acquire a degree.

Waiting for next year, when people are burned out on OCaml and either realize that it’s not worth chasing the hype or went on to the next hot thing.

Ok day5 and I am lagging behind. Solved part1 and I have a plan for part2 but no time. 😒 will try in the morning

The solutions for advent of code are heavy on iteration. I will take the opportunity and try to use github.com/rtoy/cl-series instead of the venerable loop macro. Something new to learn 🙂

@joschie I did part 2 and it was a bit of a brain twister but not too bad

@dkrentzlin I can confirm, it's like that (at least pt1, pt2 in the evening, maybe). I think they are easier, so I can still debug day 3 🤣

Day 4 doesn’t look too difficult. A bit of parsing, some lookups and powers. I hope I didn’t speak too early.

#AdventOfCode Day3 ✅ I have the impression that I made it too complicated. Also I don’t know if I did myself a favor using a character matrix. I have the intuition that tracking intervals instead would have worked well.

@joschie LOL, now I got around doing it. This is actually an edge case but those digits should actually count as one number. Nifty

@joschie Another one is digits at the end of a line and beginning of the next line. Shouldn’t be detected as one

What's the pitfall of today's #aoc? I don't see it 😅

@joschie Lag, god damn 🙄

@joschie I consider this a good thing. I totally expect to lack behind soon 😆

Alright I know how to do day3 part one. Now I only have to find the time to actually do it. But first there cookies that need to be baked

I get it. You people love OCaml but seriously why the hype?

@joschie Onto part1 I meant.

Today I struggled more to understand the description rather than running into edge cases like yesterday 😂😅#aoc

Just completed day 2 of #AoC 🎉

@joschie Minimum? Maximum? Power? Sum? 😆 I liked today. Part two didn’t throw a curve ball but kind of neatly built onto part 2. This is totally going to change 🙂

@championswimmer This is actually quite neat 😁

I just completed "Trebuchet?!" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2023 adventofcode.com/2023/day/1 #AdventOfCode Shittiest of hacks 😂😂😂

AoC Day2 ✅

@CarlaStabile Nice solution! Mine‘s here github.com/certainty/adve… Let’s see if skill and most importantly time allows me to go further than last year. 😆

@joschie @CarlaStabile Yeah that got me too. It just didn’t compute for me that I struggled that much on day one 😆 … I mean it wasn’t hours but usually day one is a quick thing with little to no problems

@dkrentzlin @CarlaStabile Yes wasn’t clear enough for my taste as well, at least for day 1. Exactly the edge case of eg „nineeight“ wasn’t fully reflected in the example input.
