A new week begins -- another 7 Advent of Code Problems, hopefully a small open source project and some exploration with llama.c.
A surprisingly comfortable day after day 10: I almost started implementing the Floyed Warshall algorithm before realizing this was simply Manhattan distance and there was nothing particularly fancy going on here. Part 2 was fairly reasonable and direct as well.
My chromebook (Macbook Air 2012 with ChromeOS Flex) still keeps troubling me though: there's some? update at around midnight that seems to cause it to freeze: copy-paste fails, chrome stops connecting to the internet; all terminals stop working. I still can't quite figure out what's going on -- but it definitely plays havoc with my rankings.
Surprisingly, I'm finding myself a little bit bored at this point. I'm not enjoying staying up waiting for the problem to drop any more, and have started finding the problems a little bit of a chore so taking a break from AoC. I'll catch up when / if I feel like it I guess.
So far I have a small video and less than 100 lines of code:
