Gute Neuigkeiten. Meine Oma wurde letzte Woche geimpft! Yay, science! Sie und alle Mitbewohner des Altersheims haben die Impfung gut überstanden. Bis auf ein wenig Schmerzen im Arm keine Probleme. Haben auch nicht gehört, dass sie eine Pflegekraft nicht impfen lassen wollte.
Yay - solved all days of #adventofcode2020 using @scala_lang.
To be fair I sometimes peeked at the recordings of @lizthegrey and @PaulsonJonathan, because I didn't know how to tackle the problem or didn't understand what the _actual_ problem was :)
At one point used @sophiebits's solution to generate testdata for finding my bug :) So, thanks a lot for sharing your solutions for others to learn. I'm impressed by how fast you come up with a solution. On some problems I spent hours (esp. day20).
Dinner table debugging #adventofcode2020 with our Christmas decoration was successful :-)
Just listened to @ASlavitt's interesting conversation with @karaswisher. Indeed great closing remarks by her! In German we would say: "you have spoken from my soul" :-)

🤯 Blown away by the sneakiness of the vaccine researchers. Eat this, covid
I've completed "Operation Order" - Day 18 - Advent of Code 2020 adventofcode.com/2020/day/18 #AdventOfCode. Quite easy with the help of @li_haoyi's excellent FastParse library. #scalathankyou
Man - one of the hardest parts in day16 of #adventofcode2020 is naming things. I mean, x, y, i, j are nice and all, but when you revisit your half done solution the next day it's like staring at a base64 string.
Man, bin ich froh, dass Politiker nicht mehr aufgrund von Unfähigkeit entlassen werden. Nicht auszudenken, wenn sich der Laschet so kurz vor Weihnachten und während einer mitverschuldeten Pandemie einen neuen Job suchen müsste... welt.de/politik/deutschland/…

Triage in Deutschland. "Wir waren in den vergangenen Tagen mehrfach in der Situation, dass wir entscheiden mussten, wer Sauerstoff bekommt und wer nicht": Sagt Ärztlicher Direktor einer Klinik in Zittau t-online.de/nachrichten/deut…
Wow - insane numbers. 🤯
Zoom was adding 5,000-6,000 servers (on AWS) a night as they scaled in the early days of the pandemic 😲 #reInvent
Just watched @lizthegrey solve today's #AdventOfCode2020 challenge. What an elegant solution for part2! Didn't have the brains today to solve it myself. Reminded me of university where we learned about mathematical induction and I still feel there's a bit of magic going on...
Tja, hab euren tollen Podcast heute nach 25min abbrechen müssen, liebe @LageNation. Mein Blutdruck ist leider bei den Kultusminister:innen durch die Decke gegangen und ich konnte mein Herz hinter den Ohren pochen hören. 🤦♂️ Das kenne ich sonst nur vom Sport bei einem Puls >190.

Today with @LukGolebiewski after 2 weeks of heavy battles, we've finally managed to remove horrible memory leaks in our Haskell application.
Kudos to @bgamari for 1 hour of mentoring and David Eichmann for his "Understanding Memory Fragmentation" blog post.
What a ride that was!
I've completed "Encoding Error" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2020 adventofcode.com/2020/day/9
Thanks to @scala_lang's powerful collections quite concise.

Hi @nathankpeck! We had a discussion today at work about the carbon footprint of @awscloud. Can you tell if there is a plan on reducing it significantly in the near future?
