Working great so far

Hey 🫣 long time no see! You all still here?

To kick the grind back, I’m tinkering with a fun project: adding Discord presence to my editor that doesn’t support extensions, using LSP as a workaround

#rust #dev

This year’s #AdventOfCode was awesome 🎄💻
I’ll go a bit quiet now to focus on my exams, but I’ll be back soon.
When I return, I’ll continue my project and document the whole journey

I feel you, with exams coming up it’s not easy to keep up either 😅

I just completed all 12 days of Advent of Code 2025!

A bit late, but it was really fun !

#AdventOfCode #Rust adventofcode.com

oops, removed a plus by accident...

Wow! It’s been over a week since my last post, lots of unexpected things happened... 🤯

I just completed "Reactor" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode #Rust adventofcode.com/2025/day/11

Had to rush one of my last project of the Q1 for uni, will catch up #AdventOfCode later today…

My solution here: github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

Part 1 was easy, a simple BFS did the job.

Part 2 was horrible… I can’t stand math puzzles, and I even broke my own rule by using an AI to get through it.

I just completed "Factory" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode #Rust adventofcode.com/2025/day/10

What was your problem with rust ? 🧐

I just completed "Movie Theater" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/9

Part 1 was easy, but I was scared of what Part 2 might look like 😅

When I read it, it instantly clicked, we just covered an algorithm at uni that fits perfectly: the PIP algorithm (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_i...)

Maybe not the most optimal approach, I might revisit later

I'm sure it's possible, I've seen posts mentioning a heap queue, didn't have enough time to try

My solution : github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

This one was HARD 💀

Might revisit it later to see if I can improve performance

I just completed "Playground" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/8

Took a day off yesterday, so I'm catching up 💪

Starting Day 8 later today

I just completed "Laboratories" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/7

Learned the lesson the hard way 🥲

Found time to clean my code !

#AdventOfCode day 6

Part 1 was smooth, but part 2 derailed fast after I assumed (because of the test case) that additions were aligned left and multiplications aligned right. Tried transposing the parsed input from part 1 to be clever… and it totally backfired. 😅

I’ll clean up my code and post it later today!

I just completed "Trash Compactor" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/6

Hey thanks !

I’ve made a huge error, so I must restart, taking a break rn

I’ll post more when I’ll finish

Going down a rabbit hole for part 2, not sure if I still want to live... 💀

#AdventOfCode

Maybe Cloudflare will fill the missing days this year

Ahah ! Well done 👍

Ahah ! When I saw the input I told myself I couldn't expand the ranges or my PC would explode

Part 2:
- Parse input into ranges
- Merge overlapping ranges
- Count total number of values covered by all ranges (took ~2 min since all the heavy lifting was already done in part 1)

Part 1:
- Parse input into ranges and ingredients
- Merge overlapping ranges (I knew I couldn’t just expand them when I saw the input)
- Count ingredients that fall within any range using binary search

Blazingly fast today ! ⚡

For anyone interested, I'll explain my solutions below.
