Advent of code starts in less than 12 hours!
(programming.dev)
For anyone interested, advent of code is about to start! (first puzzles dropping at midnight ET which is in around 11 hours)
We have a community in the instance at !advent_of_code@programming.dev for discussion about the event and that will have solution threads where you can post and compare against other people
Advent of code is a programming puzzle advent calendar where new puzzles drop every day until the 25th. They can be done in any language and puzzles are released on the AoC site
Thanks for the reminder! I almost forgot to set up my repo. 🤦♀️ I'll be publishing my solutions on GitHub for anyone interested. This year I finally got around to restructuring things to keep the input files out of git, so I won't have to feel guilty about leaking the problem inputs.
I thought problem inputs were randomized for each user?
There's a limited pool of random inputs, so it's possible to collect them all with enough input samples. In the past, the creator has asked people not to upload their input file because there are bots that scrape GitHub looking for the inputs.
