Pascal’s scribbles

A bunch of notes on various topics (probably mostly programming-related). Some are more, some are less well written. Many will just be crazy ideas I had in the shower and needed to write down. I won’t guarantee that all of this makes sense.

More about me. You can also follow me on Mastodon here.

You can find the source of this website on Github, where you can also open issues to discuss the posts.
