Programmer and game developer.

Added vertical writing support to the Calibre eBook reader.

My current project is working on a new, simplified approach to creating programming languages that are written without the need for traditional grammars or parsing.

I am, once again, accused of being a hobby programmer. I’ve done 40+ years in 20+ languages in a half dozen different industries. I have, as they say, seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, and all this vital code you think you are writing will indeed be lost in time. All that remains is what you learned writing it. If I could go back and do my time over I would not wish to do more, I would try to do less and do it better.

@jesshaskins This is incredible. It's like parody in business form.

@Whidou @Sandra Yeah, that person is really failing to communicate in a spectacular manner.

Do you have the input cache enabled? This sounds like the sort of issue it's intended to address:

I had a very Gentoo morning. Ten minutes before a video call appointment I discovered my webcam wasn't working, and then realized my kernel didn't have webcam support configured.

A bit of frantic configuration, a build, and a reboot later, I was back in action with maybe three minutes to go. I was pretty lucky I was able to get it working on the first try!

@SnoopJ Eye-wateringly inefficient, and even so it made mistakes? 😭

The second link explains what it is, the first link is documentation of a long search without finding it.
