I'm mostly using Mastodon. If you have Mastodon, follow me there: techhub.social/@0x1ac

Probably not going to post much more on BlueSky.

I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode

Guess who misread part 1 to mean what they wanted for part 2, deleted it and wrote the correct part 1, then submitted it, realised part 2 was what I just deleted, and had to remember what I just deleted.

Ah yes, the single-serving deep fat fryer. Because you live alone and have no intention of making it past the age of fifty.

I've completed "Mull It Over" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode in C.

Time to code: about 1 hour 30 mins.
Runtime (inc. file access): about 0.000426 sec

I managed to do one pass through the file and no heap allocation but my code is pretty ugly.

I solved Day 1 twice; once in C and once in C++ as I'm practicing those.

Still haven't fully made up my mind how to do #AdventOfCode, I think want to use it to practice C and C++ this year so I might do two solutions for each.
