I'm sorry to hear this.

I'll probably be downvoted for my suggestions, but here I go (I'm from France).

I would recommend changing diet, in France the "Seignalet" diet is well known. Avoid sugar, mammal products (dairy, meat).

When you have no known solution to a problem, you have to try some out of the box solutions.

As desperate solutions, try "healers" or personally try Reiki or Zhi Neng Qi Gong or similar techniques. Find one near your home. Be careful: most "healers" are completely crazy (hoping to become gurus), some are money-oriented. Most Reiki teachers are greedy.

If you have kidney problems, it's very dangerous. My friend's son took creatine to build muscles, but got Berger disease. Be careful!

Delivering is cheap, but maintenance is expensive... if not impossible!

I remember him, since he won a PHP contest of DownNOut (I finished second).

Another programmer had the same pseudo, but was working on the Atari ST.

You can optimize further by unrolling the loop. For example:

  .L2:
        move.w d1,(a0)
        move.w d1,(a0)
        move.w d1,(a0)
        move.w d1,(a0)
        dbra d0,.L2
        rts

Sorry, but these tricks cannot work on aphantasic people (I'm one of them), since they cannot visualize.

In Europe, the average age for buying a new car is 50. This means that most of the cars sold are second-hand. Most people think that the car is a luxury and prefer to focus on their home first, then their family, and after that, their car.

There are 2 main problems with XSLT. The first one is that manipulating strings is a pain. Splitting strings, concatenating them is verbose like hell and difficult to read. The second one is that it quickly becomes a mess when you use the "priority" attribute to overload functions. I compare XSLT to regular expressions, with great flexibility but impossible to maintain due to poor readability. To my knowledge, it's impossible to trace.

Yes, I programmed Snow Bros for the Atari ST. It was finished but never released. And no, I have no copy either. When I worked for Cryo, I coded a game "Trashman" for the SNES. I still have a copy of the game but it's not finished.

I worked for Ocean Software France at this moment. Ocean Software stopped all development on Amiga and Atari ST, so there were a few games that we working on that were never released. They wanted to focus on licenses, so all the other games were ditched

Nice work! Here is a similar idea: https://wordassociations.net/en

In french, there is a game to build relations with words (they provide a word, and you have to type the most related words): https://www.jeuxdemots.org They reached 677 million of relations in 2024!
