#AdventOfCode 2022 Day 9. Really struggled to code the logic for the "move" function but then realized can use the Euclidean distances to get the revised position for the tail!
#Python

@JulienMouchnino I think there is this "match" construct which seems to mimic case_when: https://t.co/07EZSb3eRl
although I have never used it before and seems like it was only introduced in python 3.10

Day 8 - #AdventOfCode 2022 now done. A lot of if-conditions in this one!

I just completed "No Space Left On Device" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2022 #AdventOfCode Really struggled with this one but finally happy that I finally managed to complete it (albeit a little help from reddit 😊)

[Kaustav Sen @kustav_sen]

Catching up on #AdventOfCode puzzles. Day 6 proved to be quite easy with python Counters.

Day 4 - Advent of Code 2022 https://t.co/Dw9RAiBrZs #AdventOfCode Made use of python sets to solve this puzzle.

Code also on github: https://t.co/kdPXt3HbC4

Day 3 of #AdventOfCode. Learned about the Counter object from the collections package. Found it to be quite versatile!

Good practice with python dictionaries 💪

@devchemist thanks!

I've completed "Calorie Counting" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2022 https://t.co/8KmBlOXFUY #AdventOfCode

Planning to use these puzzles to practice python this year! Publishing my solutions on github as well: https://t.co/Slczg4qNUE

Proposed software term: a ladybug -- a glitch that clearly isn't a feature, but is harmless and sparks joy so it is allowed to stay

@tanya_shapiro I'm in 🙋 #recreateR 😁

[Kaustav Sen @kustav_sen]

@abiyugiday @tanya_shapiro Oh, 😮 didn’t know about this. Thanks for sharing! This definitely looks like an easier approach.

[Kaustav Sen @kustav_sen]

Fantastic recreation in R + ggplot2, @tanya_shapiro 👏👏💯

Had to figure out a way to add gradient to the bars - took a while but finally figured out 😅

In the end all I had to do was use geom_col() for the bars and add a linearGradient() from the {grid} package!

[Kaustav Sen @kustav_sen]

@_ansgar @tanya_shapiro No problem! Probably something to use in a future #TidyTuesday submission 😅

[Kaustav Sen @kustav_sen]

@tanya_shapiro This playlist from @currankelleher is also a great resource for starting out with dataviz using d3: https://t.co/60HnCvt17Y

@nrennie35 @danoehm Thank you! 😊 Glad you liked it.

#TidyTuesday week 33: tried my hands with #QuartoPub using this week's data-set.

Created "card" style bar-(code)-plots for Lotr characters

Plots inspired by this week's submission by @nrennie35 and @danoehm - links to their plots in the thread below 👇

[Kaustav Sen @kustav_sen]

@_ansgar @nrennie35 @danoehm Thanks! First thought of using small rects but then went with using geom_vline() as that turned out to be easier and gave the same aesthetic effect I was going for 😅
