We will never be rid of code, because code represents the details of the requirements. At some level those details cannot be ignored or abstracted; they have to be specified. And specifying requirements in such detail that a machine can execute them is programming. Such a specification is code. The server is undergoing optimisations currently; apologies for the issues.

A Terminal User Interface Quiz Game Engine written entirely in C++. (the sequel of Quizzer)

Demo

Author Quizzes and seamlessly “test” yourself in a full-screen TUI; host the game over SSH for you and your friends to play!

This way, you get to make fun of their… incredibly (lacking) haskell knowledge for example!
One might ask: I’m passing everything, why do I need this?

Charlie Brown aces his tests with this!

SOLVE_NIVP

Recently, I had the pleasure to be able to help peer review the research software package solve_nivp released as a print on the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS),
DOILINK (need to fix this haha)
JOSS

Package purpose

solve_nivp is a Python library for time integration of nonsmooth ODE/DAE models: systems with abrupt changes such as impacts, switching, or inequality constraints. Such models are widespread: frictional contact in mechanics, piecewise and switching behaviour in circuits, sliding–mode control, and discontinuous rules in finance and energy markets [@brogliato2016nonsmooth; @acary2008numerical; @bernardo2008piecewise; @ShtesselEdwardsFridmanLevant2014; @Tramontana2010; @gabriel2012complementarity].

Intro

ICPC

The International Collegiate Programming Contest is an incredibly renowned competitive programming competition with various stages, in this document I walk through my experience this 2026 ICPC in my three regional contests.

ICPC Balloons signify the problems solved by a team

Team Found

Valyn, Anton and I formed the sudden team “(() => {})();” – which indeed is meant to represent the no-ops lambda function in javascript or “arrow-function” – thought of by our one and only Valyn on the first day (the initial orchestrator.)
