I just completed "Race Condition" - Day 20 - Advent of Code 2024 Running a bit behind. Very interesting problem for Day 20, where reading the problem correctly lets you make the right assumptions while solving the problem. #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/20

I just completed "Linen Layout" - Day 19 - Advent of Code 2024 Easier day with no challenge in extending for Part 2 as well. #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/19

I just completed "RAM Run" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2024 Easier day with simple Dijkstra's again for Part 1 and a straightforward expansion for Part 2 #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/18

I just completed "Chronospatial Computer" - Day 17 - Advent of Code 2024 Interesting part 2 today. Brute force definitely didn't work and had to look for patterns (and a bit of Reddit help) to identify the solution #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/17

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 17/12/2024

I just completed "Reindeer Maze" - Day 16 - Advent of Code 2024 ✅ A bit delayed for day 16. Standard Dijkstra's/A* with having to track the paths for part 2 #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/16

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 16/12/2024

I just completed "Warehouse Woes" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2024 Fun part 2 today and just had to visualize it #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/15

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 15/12/2024

I just completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2024 Tried part 2 with heuristics (had to go to reddit for this) and also LLMs. Took a dump of each state for 10000 ticks and passed to LLM to identify the tree. #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/14

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 14/12/2024

I just completed "Claw Contraption" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2024 More about the math than anything else. Didn't know about Cramer's rule (or forgot if I learnt it earlier) and then it's just a straightforward problem #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/13

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 11/12/2024

I just completed "Plutonian Pebbles" Day 11 #AdventOfCode This was such a fun problem. A very simple part1 and a expected complication in part2 that just has you rethink the solution. But once you do the, part2 is simple as well and something that just cannot run runs in ms. So satisfying! #Rust

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 11/12/2024

I knew what Part 2 was going to do as soon as I saw how simple Part 1 was 😀 #adventofcode Day 11

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 10/12/2024

I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/10 Straightforward DFS and BFS

020

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 10/12/2024

I just completed "Disk Fragmenter" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2024 A very fun problem! Missed some cases in part 2 and was interesting to change to accommodate them. #Rust #AdventOfCode

010

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 08/12/2024

#Rust code for this is here - github.com/manojlds/adv... Would love some feedback to make this more idiomatic and on the approach. Doing this part to make it reusable for part 1 and part 2 and feels a bit ugly: #AdventOfCode

020

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 08/12/2024

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 ✅ Easier day with part1 being a special case of part 2 and easy to refactor. #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/8

040

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 08/12/2024

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 Easier day with a fun problem and a straightforward expansion in part 2 #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 07/12/2024

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 Easier day compared to Day 5. And brute force all the way 😀 #Rust #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/6

020

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 06/12/2024

My #Rust code for this is here. Really did struggle with Part 2 today. Part 1 was brute force, and topological sort didn't work out for Part 2. Had to step back to relook at the problem and the input and focus on finding the middle rather than sorting. #adventofcode

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 06/12/2024

I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5 This one was a doozy. Spent a lot of time with Part 2, trying to do a topological sort and then had to study the problem and the input again. Think I got a good enough solution since #Rust

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 05/12/2024

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode #Rust The grids begin 😀. Unusually, Part 2 was actually a special case and simpler than Part 1 adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 03/12/2024

Regex ftw. Did it only with Regex. Any other approaches? #rust #adventofcode

Where's the #Rust community at in BlueSky? Anyone doing Advent of Code 2024 in Rust? #adventofcode

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 03/12/2024

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 02/12/2024

Who else is doing Advent of Code 2024? Doing it in #Rust this time #adventofcode github.com/manojlds/adv...

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 21/11/2024

Is anyone doing local AI GPU workloads on AMD cards? The additional VRAM on 7900XT is enticing #gpu

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 14/11/2024

Is it time to finally become active on BlueSky? Rooting for it 🤞

030

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 09/08/2023

With Twitter monetisation heating up, I am having a hard time seeing how BlueSky can gain traction. Going to be very tough.

000

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 21/07/2023

Where are the developers / programmers here on Bluesky?

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 17/07/2023

Are there folks doing something similar in London?

000

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 12/07/2023

Is there a way to limit my feed to only English? 🤔

000

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 06/07/2023

Bluesky is where I can relate and what I want from a social media. My own domain as handle, my own feed, decentralisation (though Threads claims Fediverse is coming down the line) I wish this app all the best 🤞

Manoj Mahalingam @manoj.dev · 04/07/2023

What does Meta Threads mean for BlueSky. Looks like they will also support Fediverse

So...Twitter is DDoSing itself

Hacker News comment saying Twitter clients are retrying due to rate limits and DDoSing itself.
