Footnotes

The riders on the squad were Alexandre Geniez, Clément Chevrier, Mathias Frank, Geoffrey Bouchard, Alexis Gougeard and Aurélien Paret-Peintre

gollark: A spherical one? What spheres are there?

gollark: I struggle a bit with Rust's somewhat more complex borrow-checker memory allocation thingy, possibly because I just haven't used Rust much for complex stuff.

gollark: I would probably struggle if I had to actually write a heavily-pointer-using C program, but I think I mostly understand the basics.

gollark: True, true. I do think a focus on some specific stuff like networking would also be helpful.

gollark: People are going to *use computers*, which is why I think we should have teaching on stuff like solving random problems instead.
