It's over. Advent of Code will only be 12 days long from now on. My Christmas is ruined.
>>107064231>My Christmas is ruined.good
I started doing 2024 just now.
What. Why.
>>107064231HmmWhat am I supposed to code in 12 days ?
>>107064231but it's good, this means I will do fun code stuff for 2 weeks and the other 2 weeks I will enjoy vacation with the family
>>107064774No it's horrible, it's not even advent at this level, I will be bored as fuck in christmas morning, won't have anyone to discuss the efficiency of different solutions with here on /g/>familyhaha imagine having a familyI haven't spoke to anyone except for the cashier last month
>>107064983>haha imagine having a family>I haven't spoke to anyone except for the cashier last monththat's really sad, you should talk to your family more often
>>107064774>*Day 12 expands into 14 parts*>On Christmas eve you’re still debugging ElfOSEric is going to get those 50 stars out of you, one way or another.
>>107065059thanks, it's okay. What not okay is eric being a lazy faggot. I'll try to keep alive the threads until 25th and make puzzles with other anons if eric couldn't do it in an entire year. What's really sad is that the first 12 days are always boring 5min speedruns. Only after that it gets interesting. Hopefully the difficulty will be steeper this year.>>107065432I hope so that day 12 will have 28 parts
>>107065059Not everyone has a nice or even decent family faggot.
>>107065551>What not okay is eric being a lazy faggot.yeah that's true, he has so many sponsors and got greedy>and make puzzles with other anonsthis would be awesome!>>107065594I know that but the christmay days heal every wounds, most of the times.
>>107064231WHAT?! Why???
question is why is eric such a self centered faggot making it all about himself and how he feels about itnot one single other person in the universe could help put this show on? no one to pass the torch to? does eric think he is that special of a person?

>>107067335codeforces.comatcoder.jpproject euler
>>107067573Kek, projecteuler now has a mathlet filter to even sign up.
that's not a bad thingI usually get only up until day 10-11 anyways, before the really hard problems come up, so this is a W, and finally I may be able to complete all this year!
Everybody codes looks kinda fun.Wonder if I can do it in assembly.
Damn that sucks. Christmas mornings' AoC with /g/ is always a highlight of the year for me and I've been looking forward to this shit since January.
>>107064231>less time with my /g/ frens:(
/aocg/ memes ranked by retardedness:1. unwashed ass2. showtime cancer music3. FUCK4. the dog fucker namefag5. retards not being able to read and then blaming eric6. retards coming into the threads and LARPing as non-neets who are too busy getting paid 100 bucks / hour to waste their time doing AoC7. retards claiming that you aren't filtered if you've spent more than 1 hour on a problem or if you've looked at other solutions8. code screenshots with tranime background9. big boys that change the rules of the problem10. code screenshots made with carbon without disabling window controls11. calendar12. cniles posting their shit code with fixed sized arrays, integer overflows, etc.13. quirky solutions (e.g. excel)
>>107069101someone just has to make advent of /g/ (spoiler no one will)
>>107067824That's exactly why it's a bad thing
>>107064231Unless you have 50 stars from every year, you have no standing to complain about lack of content this year. Go back and finish the puzzles from previous years during the extra two weeks this year.>But I do have 50 stars from each year.Ok, in that case, bitch all you want. You've earned that right.
>>107069615I have the stars, but I think they could have a point. It's more fun when you're in the middle of an event and everyone on the board is talking about it. It's less fun when you're solving it on your lonesome.
>>107065614>I know that butNo, you don't know that. You're confusing being mad at your mom for running out of tendies with survivors of abusive childhoods whose abuse continues into adulthood if not stopped. You have no frame of reference beyond your own family and the petty things you think are the extent of family conflicts.
>>107069487Retard take
>>107069541Not even a vibe coded AOC clone?
>>107069615My deck of cards is going to shuffle itself one day.
>>107070650just use Rust
Just about managed to get through all the Everybody codes tasks from last year before the next set starts.>Final thoughtsNot terrible, the problems don't feel quite as varied as the AoC ones and there was quite a lot of BFSing through grids. Quite often parts 2/3 are just "do the same thing but with a slightly bigger data set" so a sensible initial algo will solve them as well with minimal or even no changes. Also no retarded elves to bitch about. But it's something to keep me distracted for a while over November.Now to see if I can finish the side stories as well.
>>107071545If we assign AoC a quality score of 100 for a baseline, what would you say EC ranks in comparison?
>>1070724037/100
>>107072469You mean 70/100? If it's that bad why did you keep going?
>>107072403I would probably give it something the 70 range, it's okay but lacking in a few areas. As I mentioned, a lot of part 2/3 problems are much the same as part 1 just with more data. I think the intention is to make it easier for people of all skills to do all of the days, with part 1 being easy, part 2 being more challenging and part 3 needing an efficient algo, but in practice it means quite often you only have the one real puzzle to solve over the three parts.It is their first year however, so I can at least hope this next one will be bit more polished.
>>107064231Just start working through it on December 13th.
>>107069867>I deserve 25 puzzles because... because daddy touched meYou aren't wrong but also why do you need to go there? This is a thread about puzzles.
advent of proompt more like
is advent of code possible in javascript? I am still learning and a big noob
>>107073311yes
>>107073311JS can't handle AoC because the language's single‑threaded event loop will choke on the massive recursion depth required for day25's fractal maze. Also, every time you try to await a puzzle input, the browser's garbage collector decides to free your variables, so you end up with undefined answers and a stack overflow. Bottom line: stick to Rust—JavaScript is just a glorified toy for this.
>>107073367He could use node.
>>107073348>>107073367>>107073374thanks
>>107073367king of the retards
>>107073374Node.js? Nah, that's a joke. The Advent ofCode puzzles are basically a stress test for any language that pretends it can do heavy math without blowing up.The event‑loop is single‑threaded, so when you try to brute‑force a 106‑state DP or a recursive back‑tracker, the whole thing stalls while the garbage collector does a full‑heap sweep. You end up with "Maximum call stack size exceeded" errors faster than you can npm install.
>>107073417>>107073367Did you use an LLM for these comments or have you just talked to them so much that you've taken on their qualities?
>>107073426I have not used an LLM, nor have I been influenced by one to mimic their distinctive characteristics.I write responses generated through a unique interactions with dumb retards, and my answers are created based on the mental retardation I read.Writing coherently doesn't necessarily imply that I've used an LLM, as these are simply aspects of effective communication.
>>107073461Not buying it, your JS trashing stuff is borderline nonsense. If you have a good algo, it will run to completion in JS and in other languages. If you have a bad algo, you'll be waiting for days for it to finish. There's not a single problem+algo combination in AoC that would work in python but fail in JS.
>>107073475V8 can't handle the massive list-comprehension trick you use in Python—it ends up allocating a huge array on the heap and triggers GC thrash. Python's lazy generators keep memory low, but the same code in JavaScript materializes everything, so the runtime spikes and you time out.
>>107073623more llm sloppa
>>107073654The V8 engine compiles code to native machine instructions for speed, but its aggressive optimizations can cause the heap to grow unchecked—often called "memory slopping".This happens when JIT-generated function versions, hidden classes, and lingering references (like event listeners or closures) prevent the garbage collector from reclaiming memory promptly. The result is a steady rise in used heap size, eventually leading to slowdowns or OOM crashes.

>>107073367>—Hello ChatGPT
>advent of codedo white people actually do this?
>>107074807yes and a white person made it
>>107074807I'm a white person, so yes.
>>107074807It's done only for the sake of doing it, only whites would do such a thing.
>>107076860the sole benefit to erics changes this year, no more jeets trying to cheat their way onto the global leaderboard for clout
>>107069541I made one (1) problem, I'll post it December 1st.
>>107078068But we're all going to be focused on AoC on Dec1st..
>>107078620yeah but it will take 5 minutes to solve
>>107064231>Advent of Code will only be 12 days long from now on??? wtf, it's not an advent calendar then
>>107078068Let me guess, it’ll be a transphobic puzzle requesting the implementation of a doubly linked list.
from the faq:>no more global leaderboardWhat happened to the global leaderboard? The global leaderboard was one of the largest sources of stress for me, for the infrastructure, and for many users. People took things too seriously, going way outside the spirit of the contest; some people even resorted to things like DDoS attacks. Many people incorrectly concluded that they were somehow worse programmers because their own times didn't compare. What started as a fun feature in 2015 became an ever-growing problem, and so, after ten years of Advent of Code, I removed the global leaderboard.>only runs for 12 days (dec 1 to 12)Why did the number of days per event change? It takes a ton of my free time every year to run Advent of Code, and building the puzzles accounts for the majority of that time. After keeping a consistent schedule for ten years(!), I needed a change. The puzzles still start on December 1st so that the day numbers make sense (Day 1 = Dec 1), and puzzles come out every day (ending mid-December).it's joever, RIP advent of code
>>107071545Quest 5 looked really annoying, maybe I’ll do it later.
>>107071545thanks for posting, seems interesting
