Day 12 - "Christmas Tree Farm" ✅
There was only one part, and I just couldn't come up with the logic myself to solve this challenge. 😑

Last year, Tanvi Sharma showed how #Python dashboards and #OpenData can power transparency and civic engagement in Austin.
Now we’re looking for your ideas for #PyTexasConference2026 - especially from women. (Not even 6% of submissions are from women this year!)
#CFP closes Friday at 5 p.m. CST → https://www.pytexas.org/2026/

Follow up to last week's #ROS video: this time we create a listener and demonstrate how the TF2 library works by making a follower #robot in turtlesim. Check it out!

I finished day 5 part 1 of #aoc2025 in #Python. I wanted to use a big set of integers for the fresh ingredients and check for membership, but the range was too large for the #Python interpreter to handle. I also explored expanding and coalescing ranges, but in the end didn't need to implement it.

Some thoughts about #AdventOfCode 2025:
So that's it, folks, for this year. It has been huge fun again.
As usual, I'm sad that it's over, but also a bit glad it was shorter. It can be quite a burden with family, kids, work, the Christmas season, and AoC on top of it.
Altogether, I feel good about my progress. I struggled on day 10 part 2 and again today, which took me 4-6 hours each. Pretty slow, but I'm proud I figured them out without looking up hints, besides researching how to do specific stuff on Google/LLMs here and there.
I used C# this year with #Dotnet on #Linux. It might not be the perfect language for AoC, but it did its job well.
Pros and cons:
Functional programming is possible, but a bit of a pain. It's awkward to write and also slow in many cases.
Compared to the languages #Rust, #Python, and #Typescript, which I used in previous years, it is of course slower than Rust but faster than Python and Typescript. Although that's just a feeling; I didn't do benchmarks.
It's super stable, also on Linux. Especially the debugger, which worked flawlessly. Better than Rust, where I often had to fight the debugger.
Even though I use C# in my day job very often, I learned a couple of new tricks doing AoC with it. Cool.
I'm already looking forward to 2026. The challenge always reminds me why I love programming so much.
Thank you @ericwastl for dedicating so much time and energy to give us this great gift every year.

New #blog on #BurgeonLab ✍️
➡️ https://burgeonlab.com/blog/find-orphan-pages-using-python/
Created a #python script to help find pages that are not linked to, from my own site (no internal links, aka orphan pages).
It was a fun little experiment. Happy it works.

Avis aux daronnes et aux darons de programmeurs en herbe; je cherche un bouquin d'initiation au Python (en français) pour mon fils de 13 ans.
Des recommandations?

I got nerd-sniped by some friends...
I am feeling somewhat better now, but this is the outcome: https://github.com/BjarniRunar/Pipe - easy shell-like pipes of unix utilities, in #Python!
Example:
from pipe import *
sh.uname | sh.grep('Linux') | sh.Check
(Raises an exception if not on Linux... assuming it runs at all).
