I learned a bit about Path Finding Algos today
Can confirm, I implemented Djkstra badly (I made it visit every single cell, instead of stopping once it reached the end, since that's what wikipedia did), switched to A* w/o visiting every single cell, got the answer for part 2, and returned to the non-stupid Djkstra and measured -- A* with manhattan distance is about 5ms faster than A* with euclidean distance (since it avoids the square root, and the euclidean distance is actually less appropriate in this situation), and Djkstra beats the Manhattan distance by another 5ms. You can look through all my implementations in the commit history for this file: https://github.com/ritobanrc/aoc2021/blob/main/src/day15.rs

-🎄- 2021 Day 11 Solutions -🎄-
Rust, not my proudest code, honestly quite messy, I couldn't decide whether to represent points as Vector2 or usizes into a vector, using both a HashSet for flashed but a Vec for to_flash feels silly, especially since it calls contains on both in the same condition, nor am I proud of the rightward drift resulting in five layers of braces, and the messy conditions on neighbor. But nonetheless, it works, and part 2 was easy enough to hack in on top of part 1, with a couple extra lines (albeit, still a bit messy, with a range 0..usize::MAX since bounded and unbounded ranges are different types, and an unreachable!() in the match statement at the end).

Rust. I found today surprisingly easy, much better than the last couple -- part 1 was quite simple, just keep a list of the open ones and close them as necessary. Part 2 should have been trivial to implement on top of that, but I wasn't correctly discarding the corrupted lines, and apparently sorting a list and finding the median without off-by-one errors is hard, so that took a while to debug.

Rust -- part 1 was fairly easy, but I had absolutely no clue how to do part 2 for a long time. I ended up just brute forcing it, trying every single possible wire re-arrangement (thanks itertools::permutations). I used a bitmask to represent which lights were on (no idea if its necessary), but it was a fun exercise trying to get the bit fiddling right -- I was pleasantly surprised when it just worked (ig that's the benefit of writing small, fairly self-contained routines). My initial answer for part 2 was also reversed (3535 instead of 5353), which is why there's a rev in there near the end. Overall, very fun challenge -- I enjoyed not knowing how to approach it initially, and I'm sure lots of people will have far more clever solutions.

Rust, basic bruteforce solution. Played around with trying to find an analytic solution for a couple mins, but ended up just brute forcing it, and surprisingly, its not absurdly slow.

Rust. Unsurprisingly, I did the naive thing for part 1 and then had to re-write for part 2. I'm happy with how clean part 2 is, I just used a Rust array for the counts -- though I'm sure there's a more clean solution for shifting an iterator.

Advent of Code rust nuggets
From u/ritobanrc (full solution): use nalgebra::Matrix5 and you can use column_iter() and row_iterator() on your board.

-🎄- 2021 Day 4 Solutions -🎄-
Rust -- Happy with how my code turned out for today. I used nalgebra's Matrix5 for storing the boards, which made checking for wins pretty easy.

Rust, nothing special here, not particularly fast (I initially thought aim should be a vector and lost some time because of it). The error handling could be a bit cleaner, I might fiddle with that for a bit so I don't have to put .unwraps and .expect and panic! everywhere.

-🎄- 2021 Day 1 Solutions -🎄-
Here's my solution without any collects: https://github.com/ritobanrc/aoc2021/blob/main/src/day01.rs -- but I don't think you could do it without itertools, since windows is only implemented for slices, and array_windows for iterators is still unstable (pending const-generics).

[2023 Day 5] Exlplanation Like I'm 5
In the spirit of the Day 5 ALLEZ CUISINE! challenge to ELI5 (Explain Like I'm Five), here's a tasty explanation of how my algorithm works using only a large bucket of Red Vines and a knife. It says to use lined paper, but if you try this at home consider aligning things on a cutting board.

Bonus solution in Go (golang) because I was confused about why my Elixir solution didn't work and decided to implement from scratch in case I'd done something dumb. The Go one also got the wrong answer, but took less than 100ms instead of a minute, so I could try out lots of tweaks that didn't change the answer.

I spent time this afternoon sprucing up my helpers for the iex REPL. I spent a bunch of time poking at things in IEx the last couple days and wanted to make sure I would minimize keystrokes if I needed to debug things on my phone while drunk. Turns out Thursday night > Friday night > Saturday night in terms of difficulty, so all those macros have so far saved me zero seconds :-)
