It never ceases to amaze me how truly awful people don't miss any opportunity to try to harm vulnerable people.

I just completed "Like a Rogue" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2016 adventofcode.com/2016/day/18 #AdventOfCode That gets me past 200 stars, not bad as I only had 84 on 1st Dec 20. I doubt I'll carry on at this speed as work resumes tomorrow, but resolved to get to 300 before 1st Dec 21

Bizarre logic from a Facebook algorithm today. I might be interested in other places because they rhyme with the place I actually live in?

've still not looked up what Chinese Remainder Theorem us, so I doubt that that's what I've done, but my code still cracks Day 13 Part 2 in under 1ms, so that's definitely a win #AdventOfCode

The Python deque makes tracking rotation a breeze. The first time I saw anyone using complex numbers to store coordinates was in #AdventOfCode 2018 and I've used it a few times since - it can be much simpler than maintaining separate x and y coordinates.

Just realised that I missed the obvious trick that the row is essentially * 8 already as its shifted across 3 columns, so the slicing and multiplication can be removed also. That's what I get for coding at 5am on a Saturday.
