Try compiling without treating warnings as errors, maybe?

Given the hype those get, I thought it would be a new blockchain. Thankfully not, but it does remind me of this, somehow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantropa

Probably a much better question is "why", for which the answer is: "You probably don't want to". If you care about the learning: You can learn all that stuff for yourself. If you care about getting a credential: You

I may not believe in depression, but I'm trying to do this in response to having a hard time in life (issues with well-paid employment and belonging) while severely autistic/Asperger's. It isn't helping much for finding

Another question is: Does the ME use SQLite? Some other database? If so, how many times is it bundled in there? https://www.sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html I wonder how drh would feel about it.

I have always wanted to try OCaml, but there sure are a lot of things marked as breaking changes. Makes me a touch nervous. Is this normal for OCaml?

Stable branches come to mind. How would you version those?

Good grief. Couldn't you have made the fonts less legible? I'm having too easy of a time reading. Might have tried white on white, with a gray drop shadow. Still technically readable without highlighting!

Courage. Try things. I have done web dev (front and backend), low-level OS stuff, game dev, math simulations, teaching, VLSI, etc... In the end, looks like teaching and game development is what stuck. Took me years to discover this, but I&#

I won't have it any other way. The "not starving to death" thing is a bit of an issue on the way there... Well, I have savings, but... And if I get a horrid job, then I won't have the energy. :P

https://luisant.ca/Remy_CV_public.pdf Well, fuck my life. Here goes, posted on the site too. This required way more courage than anything else I have done in the last few months, even after I censored it to death. Thanks fo

I am. It won't work if the employer is not silly/carefree enough. Good fucking luck, no? :P

Right. You guys are right. I'll do that next time around.

Aww... Thanks! My pleasure! All from scratch, designed for nothing but readability. I am building textbooks on the same code, so the blog is a great stress and user test.

And I will mention it one more time: I totally agree with you. It needs to be said.

I'm working on one, though I'm not sure if it will ever see the light of the day. I have four months of free time and if someone would feed and house me for that time, I'd do it and open source it. Any sponsors? No? Didn&#x27

Unless you are inlining your CSS.

Nice catch. Yeah, I do something like that too in my own code, though it does not cause issues when minified.

I had an article about that too. If you have to do just one, you should go with zopfli or brotli instead of minifying. Having both minification and some kind of compression on top does help the file sizes. https://luisant.ca&#x2F

I thought about it, but I'm way too shy for that. Not like it would lead to anywhere either, you know. :P Two years of teaching university, MSc in computing, love of automation, combinatiorial optimization without any significant amoun

Author here. Wow. #1 on HN. Wow. I'd usually hang around a bit more, but I'm really tired. I posted this past my midnight. 00:51 now, and I'm fading fast. Thanks for all the love, everyone. I'll come over tomorrow (12 ho
