Here is your scheduled 2 month warning. Do not allow yourself to be counted amongst the filtered.
If you don't use python you're a tryhard.
>>106753381that's the entire point thoughthere's no fun in import solution
>tfw too smart to do stupid puzzles just for fun>tfw too dumb to compete for the leaderboard
is it gonna be about anything other than parsing text this year? no?
When will they make AoC multilingual finally? I know engrish but it’s exhausting
>>106753596>>106753573filtered>>106753674It's 2025, your browser can translate for you. Also if he invited volunteers to translate, the puzzles turned into the languages of dishonest people (e.g. Chinese and Polish) would leak.

>>106753454Use python but just don't import z3 or networkx.
>>106753373I'm determined to not get filtered by day 6 this year. I'm also going to be using this as an excuse to learn go
>>106753948The 10 previous years of challenges are always open, start practising now.
>>106754057its not as fun to do them outside december
>>106753373Which one pays you money?
>>106754085Your job. These are for fun. Perhaps you should go back to your doordash gig?

wasting your life time on this lmao.
How many tasks will be oneshotted by AI this year?
>>106754619filtered>>106755009Probably the first 10

>>106755205not idiomatic enough
if i have to read more than a single paragraph of instructions i do not do it
>>106755205this shit looks like fucking ghidra outputget help
>>106753373no one on any of the real coding challenge forums gives a shit about this. it's just parsing and map games.
>>106755283nobody cares about competitive trannies
>>106755288sir i am not a transexual. you are jewish.
>>106755283coding challenges are retarded. heres a challenge: make something that improves my life instead of reinventing the wheel and making triune brain lever torture matrixes you fucking retarded subhuman nigger retard programmers god i hate you all so much
I have never done any Advent of Code and I am learning JavaScript now.I will blast it this year and win everything, you /g/ better watch out because I will stomp you LOL
>>106755320it's fun, it's just not fun when the challenge is optimizing what is essentially a brute force algorithm over and over again.
>>106755266rewrite it as if you're a normal person
>>106755205hello fellow cnilehow'd you solve day 19 withouth hashtables?
>>106755283>real coding challenge forumsLuckily this is just a fun occasional event with chill threads, not a bunch of cutthroat tryhards trying desperately to pad their resume.

can't wait to parse some text
>>106753373what's a good language and setup to do parsing? implementing huge amounts of parsing in a language not designed for it sucks all the fun out of the event.I keep going back to C then get pissed at the manual malloc.
I'm going to try building an AI agent to solve AoC entirely without human input.I think nowadays, the fun coding challenge is all about automation battles
>>106755839there barely is any parsing.skill issue
>>106755839Python is what you're looking for.
So it turned out that the VPU1 is really unsuited for doing what I was planning to update the results, and I rewrote how that was done completely. I still want to do some kind of demo on VPU1 as the solution is run, probably using the state of the results.I also decided to make a simple benchmark to see how much performance I was losing by having the CPU convert the result and generate the text updates per frame, turned out to be very little, and then ran the same benchmark on the GBA. It's just a tight loop that loads a value from memory, increments it then saves it back into memory, and then every vblank copies it, updates the result and clears it.Mesen gets the exact same result as real GBA, PCSX2 is about 8% lower than a real PS2.
>>106755839Really any language which makes regular expressions easy. For the most part it's just picking out numbers in a line.
>>106755868this. apparently, that's what most top performers use, so it must have something going for it.
>>106755871For reference, when I turn off the result updating, the GBA score goes to about 4600 and the PS2 547400.
>>106755876It's fast as fuck to type out, don't have to worry about types and has lots of inbuilt and importable solutions.But it's also not fun.
If you are not using SQL why bother?
>>106755896i did last years day 25 in SQL
>>106755924Well you are based then. Very based.
>>106753373I may do a couple of days this year, but I am giving up at the first hindrance. I wasted obscene amounts of time last year (I was unemployed back then), and still got filtered on day 16.
whats the point? jeets are neets are gonna use AI to solve all the problems in python or java
>>106756091Because it is fun.Let the cheaters cheat.
>>106755485enjoy
>>106755876>it must have something going for itIt has a fuckload of shorthands for parsing and common operations, and a fuckload of libraries for literally anything else.Really fast to type as well since it's basically pseudocode that actually works.
>>106753373I will not be filtered this yeart. fortran anon
>>106756244>#define HASHhe wanted to see your solution without a hashmap
>>106753373Ah yeah, the entire year almost passed
I'm an IT chad so the only COOOODING will be basic scripting but with actual use cases. Fuck your leetcode nonsense
>>106756294Just do it all in Powershell.
>>106755205Is there a limit for variable name length in C? What does p,c,i,j,k stand for?
>>106753373i kind of want to do this year in some sort of lisp.
