gollark: > google blames c/c++ and its lack of warnings to devs about memory issues for most of the critical bugs in chrome<@528315825803755559> I mean, it's a fair criticism. You can avoid them if you have a language (like Rust) which makes them actual compile errors.

gollark: Well, if it's just "one column picked from each row, one combination of columns is valid", and there's no other information, I don't see how you can do it without brute force, which is impractical because there are apparently 1329227995784915872903807060280344576 (4^60) combinations.

gollark: So 60 rows and 4 columns, or...?

gollark: I can... do some CSS/HTML, sure.

gollark: <@301477111229841410> I have a webserver which does other things, and the memory usage is very very low. So is CPU. I don't get much traffic.
