    Ubuntu has bitmap fonts disabled by default. You can enable them as follows: cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/ sudo rm -rf 70-no-bitmaps.conf && sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf . …

    I used this library in a lot of my University assignments. It's a really great way to add controls for 3D renderers, simulations, games, et cetera. I mostly used it for debugging p…

    Github pages is quite convenient, and I believe you can use a custom domain with it. I currently use a droplet hosted on Digitalocean for my website, but it's definitely more effor…

    Thankfully I have not. I currently work in a small team ( I don't think I would be happy in a job where I didn't have this freedom.

    Advent of Code is great. I've not actually finished it yet, but I keep doing a challenge here and there when I feel like it. I might go back and do some of the earlier years when I…

    Looks really cool! I think I noticed a typo in the docs here: https://flaque.github.io/merchant.js/#totalof Should "Map({GOLD -2});" have a colon between the key and value?

    Nice work. It reminds me of restclient-mode [0] for Emacs, a package that I use daily. As a python developer, that this builds on top of python & requests is very attractive! [0] h…

    I did a small (6-8 teams) 48 hour game jam that I wrote code almost continuously throughout. I had about 4 hours of sleep in the middle of it, and an hour or two for eating. The re…

    Other than a slightly buggy top line [1], this seems to work fine in gnome-terminal on Ubuntu. Really nice work! I'll leave it running when I'm not using the terminal on my side mo…
