Wrote a simple scheduler in C++ for my microcontroller project, it allows me to schedule runs of some "work" function by giving it a delay or a timestamp when I want it run. you can have multiple jobs scheduled, each with different parameters for the function!

Day 10 of #10-days-in-public - not a very satisfying ending (yesterday's post would have worked better) but I made a lot of notes for writing my essay. Wish I could have been on the celebration call but had to do this instead :( Overall, I made so much progress these past 10 days in my academic skills - I am almost completely caught up with classes and feel way more prepared to take on whatever comes next! Even though I didn't work on a concrete project I still think I kinda shipped something, just for my own personal use - strategies and understanding to get through college.

Day 9 of #10-days-in-public - I did it. I completed and submitted my homework assignment on time. I used the resources available to me and overcame (at least a large part of) my anxiety, I am so proud of myself that I was able to get to this point. Now time to write a 1500 word essay in 1.5 days :peefest:

Day 1 of #10-days-in-public - Finally making some more progress on my take-home midterm! Had to cover up the questions unfortunately since I can't share them, but I was able to talk with my professor a bunch and he helped resolve my confusion about some of the problems. Overall I feel much more confident in my ability to finish this, and with that comes somewhat reduced anxiety (which itself allows me to get more done). I'm going to try to learn from this for the future; when I get stressed, I can try to make a list of questions

I wrote some code to bypass the TypeScript recursion limit by undoing the recursion (replacing the place where it references itself with a copy of itself) for a specified number of levels. It produces really long type definitions but it is functional. I'll try to make a webapp for it then I'll #ship it
Why does the typescript AST have to be so confusing

Had to modify my masonry component to use client side JS because I couldn't find a cross platform CSS solution
https://cloud-cjrwwktxd.vercel.app/0image.png
js emoji
wom emoji
It turns out that the method I used for the masonry layout on my website (making the container with the items a flexbox with flex-direction set to column, and adding break-after: page to the places where I want to start new columns) only works on Firefox, so I spent the entire day trying to figure out alternatives. The first one I found is to set the writing mode of the container so text (and span elements) flows vertically, and then reset the properties for the children elements. The second one is to rotate everything 90 degrees so the rows are actually columns, and then rotate each item -90 degrees to be in the normal orientation. I'm not sure which of these is better, I am leaning towards the writing-mode one because I would guess that css transform takes longer. I put together a test site using these at css-columns-force-break.glitch.me, I'll try to do more testing with it tomorrow

I am using Contentful as my website's headless CMS and its GraphQL API marks all properties as optional even if you have set it to required on the web interface, so to use the TypeScript code generated by graphql-code-generator you need to do a lot of null checks. This is for a good reason but I'd rather have that edge case to deal with than have to write a bunch of checks, so I wrote a CLI tool to get the GraphQL schema, modify it so that the types match the data from the Contentful management API, and write it to a file that the codegen tool can use
