This might be the first one where I'm able to really do them as they come out

It might be the first one where I can't. Finals season is fun.

Oof. My college was on a trimester system, so December was at the start of second trimester.

Classes end November 30th and there's finals from December 6th to 13th. At least we get a month off afterwards.

Solution: do these instead of finals

as usual my goal is to just make it further than last time
I should learn C++ while I'm at it....
oh my I completely forgot that shit like Copilot became a thing immediately before last year's Advent of Code. I don't remember a proper decision being made at the time, glad to see there is one now

I wonder how many levels I can get done in Turing Complete. Probably none.

Gotta design an entire CPU and memory first, then you should be able to.

Technically I have that done. It just sucks.

So in preparation for advent of code i was brushing up on python oneliners, and i came up with a funny way to do recursion:
(lambda factorial: factorial(factorial, 5))(lambda me, num: 1 if num <= 1 else num * me(me, num - 1))
That expression returns 120

It’s about time someone advented code.

That's a Y-combinator!
tall fern
That's a Y-combinator!
I just learned a lot of new terms 
This combinator may be used in implementing Curry's paradox. The heart of Curry's paradox is that untyped lambda calculus is unsound as a deductive system, and the Y combinator demonstrates this by allowing an anonymous expression to represent zero, or even many values. This is inconsistent in mathematical logic.
Mind bending
narrow spire
All that went over my head 😂
all i know is that Y-combinators are used to enable recursion without having to call a function within itself
In exactly the same way you did
Wow, i just learnt a lot of new terms too :D

Is it cheating if I used other people's code to get my remaining 3 stars just so I could have the correct answer to save me some pain when I do start working on them?
