I live in a quantum superposition: I like good food and fast food, I like classical music and chip tunes, I like climbing alpine summits and doing nothing at home, I like rational things and fantasy stories.

Thanks for tuning in to The Witcher 4 — Unreal Engine 5 tech demo and joining us during the State of Unreal 2025! #UnrealFest

The full presentation will be uploaded and shared with everyone later today, but in the meantime, here's four screenshots straight from the demo to tide us all over. 😍

Ça a l'air bon, il faut que je teste.
Alors vraiment les gens il vous faut le beurre de cacahuète, l'argent du beurre de cacahuète, et le sourire du taulier.
Bon d'accord.
Une recette végé, en plus. Pour la version végane vous pouvez remplacer le miel par du sirop d'agave.

So I've been putting aside solving problems for #AdventOfCode, but I'm learning to use gloss to display Day 16's grid. Why isn't there a method to get a text Picture 's width ? Frustrating.

Took me hours to make part2 works, stupid error. I won't be able to spend so much time again, I'm afraid. Fun though !

I've completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/14
The first part was trivial, for the 2nd part once I learned that the "tree" would be in a "square", I tried to find all frames with at least 4 long lines.

Anyone has an Idea what is the eater egg they're talking about ? The picture of the christmas tree, what is it exactly supposed to look like ?
Is it part of the problem to find out ?

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

For part 2 I had to google a way to solve n⋅a+m⋅b = t because there is no way brute force would work.

I thought I was done with part 1 of day 12, I had the answer right for the sample.

I don't know if I have it in me to debug this right now.
I think I'll check day 13 and come back to day 12, hopefully, later
December 14, 2024 at 12:41 PM
I feel stuck on day 12 of advent of code. I know where to go but I struggle to express it in Haskell, I know I'll get there but I get frustrated by the time it takes me.

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

There it is, I completed part two with yet another approach. I'm happy because it completes in a blink.

I've completed Part One of "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/11

Part 1 was really easy but It looks like I won't be able to complete part 2 today, i'm at the 3rd attempt and somehow the memoisation I'm trying doesn't work. Debug time ahead !

The second part was easier than the first, IMHO. I don't know why I lost so much time. I used an unboxed vector. I hope it was a good choice. Well it worked.

It was not too complicated but I'm still taking time to solve because I haven't been doing #haskell for so long.
