I thought it might be nice to start a thread for the Advent Of Code, which starts tomorrow. Perhaps some of you already do it, and if anyone will do it this year then you could discuss it on here (no solutions though of course!)

A daily coding problem gets released at midnight EST (and generally gets harder as the days go on), with an easier part 1 and a harder part 2. They're good fun and I would recommend it! If someone wants to make a Leaderboard for PF that would be cool :).

I'm sorry, I really wanted to participate but my Linux laptop is busy with my DIY project and this Windows laptop is sooooo slow.... I mostly use it for surfing and running cartoons in the background....

I'll see if I can't do something about it.

How slow is the Windows laptop? The creator claims that all the challenges can be solved in less than 10 seconds on 10-year-old hardware: and this year was comparatively extremely easy, so you could probably pull it off!
