I like the amount of times I’ve been asked if I’m allowed to eat a food as a diabetic in condescending way

Like don’t we all eat food that’s bad for us???? Don’t you have more important things to worry about?

I only live once so I am going to eat pizza

I feel this pain. I’m not good at chess, but at least I don’t try to make illegal moves constantly with regular pieces ha

A weight tracking graph trending down from 86 kg in may 2025 to 76kg in march 2026

Nice! I’m down to 76–80kg from 86kg and I feel so much better. The number doesn’t look that different but the difference is huge

For me, it’s just eating less and walking more. I’d just eat stuff when I’m bored, and now I don’t think about food whenever. I still don’t eat super healthily to be fair

I feel that. I know what they are, but iterator is the right word in so many other languages and 90% of the time iterators are iterables 😅

Toast Toast are temporary notifications that provide concise feedback about an action or event.

Because the chat bot goes in the bottom right, obviously

And indeed, toasts can come from any edge

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

assembly code with a highlight showing the current instruction and relevant registers and flags to the right

Made an assembly stepper! I got annoyed at how large video files are, so built a web version. I'm probably going to skip the video bit and just make an interactive blog

It will look less gross soon I promise

Congrats!

I always wonder if I should go for it (I have no degrees), but the price and homework always put me off

What made you want to go for a masters/CS degree in general as opposed to self study?
