Anders Englöf Ytterström 5deb351504 Solve 2024:2 p1-2 "Red-Nosed Reports"
DDOS of adventofcode.com, did not get to open the
puzzle until 06:05 (five minutes local time).

Screwed up the zip() and lost valuable minutes by
trying to replace it with itertools, only to find
I have made a typo (did AB CD EF instead of AB BC
CD).

I also lost valuable minutes by tring to solve p1
with one nested loop. Stupid.

For part 2, I created the issafe() helper to be
able to remove items from reports and test, one
at the time.

Help scripts

Display all solved puzzles:

python aoc.py

To bootstrap a new puzzle (creates input/<day_no>.txt and output/day_<day_no>.py):

python aoc.py <day_no> new

Manually copy the puzzle input from https://adventofcode.com and paste it in input/<day_no>.txt to start coding.

wl-paste > input/<day_no>.txt

Solve separate puzzle (replace XX with the puzzle number):

python -m output.day_XX

Solve separate puzzle using stdin (replace XX with the puzzle number):

wl-paste | python -m output.day_XX
cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX

Execute separate puzzle on file save (replace XX with the puzzle number):

ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'wlpaste | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -s 'cat tmpfile | python -m output.day_XX'
ls output/*.py | entr -c -r python -m output.day_XX

(requires entr and wl-paste, Mac users can instead use pbpaste. If you prefer X at Linux, use xclip -selection clipboard -o).

To lint files:

ls output/*.py | entr -r -c flake8 output --ignore=E741,E501,E203
