day 08 - advent of code 2024 in rust

[@misterwoody_]

I mentally substituted "antenna" for "satellite" based on the problem on Advent of Code (hope I understood it correctly) - that was the easy part. Thanks for the daily uploads. Certainly learning a lot about nom.

haha I had the same experience!

TIL successors! Thanks :)

Nice one! Thanks for sharing! I found a more typesafe way to create the combinations. ``` let antinode_locations = locations .iter() .tuple_combinations() .flat_map(|(a, b)| { ... } ``` With that combinator from itertools you don't need to access the vec by indices. (9:54). Anyway - I'm quite impressed by how fast rusts iterators are while keeping the code readable.

@@flwi ah tuple combinations would've been mint. Nice find.

@@chrisbiscardi TIL ;-) "Mint" as slang for "excellent" or "perfect" is more commonly used in British and Australian English, often in phrases like "that's mint" or "it was mint." While some Americans might use it due to global cultural exchange, it's not a typical American slang term. In American English, similar expressions might be "that would have been awesome" or "that would have been perfect." If you saw this in context, you might be able to tell if it was written by someone from a region where "mint" is common slang, or if it was indeed a typo for another word.

31:30 you should be able to just chain the two iterators without boxing anything (may need some adjustments)
