The book is of large quarto format (240mm x 300mm) and consists of 365 pages of text followed by 160 plates of line drawings by the author. Chapters are as follows:

gollark: Someone had a problem with two mutually recursive functions (one was defined after the other), so I fixed that for them. Then I explained stack overflows and how that made their design (`mainScreen` calls `itemScreen` calls `mainScreen`...) problematic. Their suggested solution was to just capture the error and restart the program. Since they weren't entirely sure how to do *that*, their idea was to make it constantly ping their webserver and have another computer reboot it if it stopped.

gollark: potatOS is also secure <@!290217153293189120> ke

gollark: Probably.

gollark: Free non-toxic unbranded melons at GMart (nearish `/warp choruscity`).

gollark: What would be loaded from the encrypted FS image anyway?
