$450 for the Nintendo Switch 2 feels like an insane price for something that really does feel like an incremental upgrade #switch2 #nintendo

Wow…that feels really high.

And no price announcement on the console has me a little concerned 🤔

Loved The Big Sick! My wife and I saw it on our second date!

Woohoo!

I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2024! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com

I just completed "Crossed Wires" - Day 24 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/24

In Python, is NetworkX cheating? It feels like cheating 😆

I just completed "LAN Party" - Day 23 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/23

I'm behind! Finally got a chance to look at yesterday's problem, and immediately jumped to bit-shift operations.

I just completed "Monkey Market" - Day 22 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/22

Oof. This one was rough, and I definitely had to look up some hints.

I've completed "Keypad Conundrum" - Day 21 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/21

A little late, and taking a couple seconds to run, but it works! Once I realized it was a math problem, it became much simpler to solve.

I just completed "Race Condition" - Day 20 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/20

Once again it's memoization to rescue!

I just completed "Linen Layout" - Day 19 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/19

Ooooh this one was fun! Similar to Day 16, but checking if any path exists, rather than finding the shortest path. Sometimes brute force is the quickest way to get an answer 😉

I just completed "RAM Run" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/18

I knew the number was going to be large, but wow 🤯

I just completed "Chronospatial Computer" - Day 17 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/17

Not too worried about efficiency on this one 😂

I just completed "Reindeer Maze" - Day 16 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/16

Today's lesson: don't over think your solution! Don't fiddle too long with recursion when a simple while-loop will do the trick 🫠

I just completed "Warehouse Woes" - Day 15 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/15

Today's lesson: sometimes AoC can best be solved with some best guesses and visual hunting 🔍🧐

I just completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/14

Can't lie: had to look up the equations for this one because the college math class section of my brain was a little dusty 😂

I just completed "Claw Contraption" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/13

This one felt like I was SO close for so long, and finally something clicked!

I just completed "Garden Groups" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/12

Wow. This one almost broke my brain! Plenty of "gotchas" in this one to keep you busy for a while.

I just completed "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/11

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

Welp, guess I won't be using this service anymore 🤨 this is on a 5Gbps internet connection using a 2.5Gbps NIC, sooooo....?

The switch to multi-digit File IDs stumped me for longer than I care to admit 😂

I just completed "Disk Fragmenter" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/9

I just completed "Resonant Collinearity" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/8

I just completed "Bridge Repair" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/7

Today's lesson: `set` lookups are wayyy faster than `list` lookups in Python!

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/6

Gotta love multi-variable assignments! ;)

I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5

This one was fun!

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

Seems great until you look at its limitations 🫠
