Advent of Code is back this year and It starts tomorrow, December 1 Every day at 2:00LT until December 25 you will get a two part programming puzzle with a christmas theme. https://adventofcode.com/ I first started doing it in 2021 but i only got to Dayโ€ฆ
so tomorrow is the final day of Advent of Code and at this point it's safe to say that i won't complete it on time since i have 6 unsolved days

day 8, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24

once again the main culprit was school work ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜”

but on the bright side i did better than last year only solved about 15 days last year, this year i solved 23

i am planning on doing a couple more of them tonight so the number might change

and the other good part is that i used multiple languages to solve them

rust, elm, ocaml, go, python, typescript

so in general it was good, although i might still continue solving the rest of them even after december 25

this is one of the most horrible things i have read Voluntary Human Extinction Movement

if we kill all the humans then who are we saving the world for.

and it seems like some of the group's members are still active

AoC update i skipped all of the ones i didn't do and did day 25 turns out you can't finish it unless you have solved all the previous puzzles ๐Ÿซ 
day 25 was a graph problem, i used petgraph to solve it, checked out the reddit solutions

the algorithm needed to solve the problem is Stoerโ€“Wagner algorithm, it helps you determine the minimum number edges you need to cut to turn a graph into two disjointed loops.

if i learned one thing from this year's advent of code, it's that i don't know anything about graph theory, if any of you have a good resource for learning it, please share it in the comments

i don't know how they calculate it but this is a cool idea

3d printers are the closest thing we have to self replicating machines https://reprap.org here is an old but interesting talk
sadly the modern 3d printing industry has taken the route of the printer companies business model of selling the ink instead of perusing the exponential growth allowed by self replicating machines

I hereby pardon all junior engineers

We trusted a 70lb ardinuo to get us to the moon and back.

That hope is fossilized in classic sci-fi: explore space, build utopia, maintain peace, etc.

We once sought Star Trek. Now we orbit the Black Mirror.


They gave us a universal currency; we turned it into a casino.

They gave us a town square; we turned it into a fight club.

They gave us a universal oracle; we turned it into a billboard.
