gollark: Personally, I blame websites and the increasingly convoluted web standards for browser performance issues. Websites with a few tens of kilobytes of contents to a page often pull in megabytes of giant CSS and JS libraries for no good reason, and browsers are regularly expected to do a lot of extremely complex things. With Unicode even text rendering is very hard.
gollark: Memory safety issues are especially problematic in things like browsers, so avoiding them is definitely worth something.
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...?
