Just as little experiment, as a part of a larger journey to try to understand how computers work, I started to learn the programming language C on my free time. I have only ever studied Japanese, linguistics and didactics… For a few months now, I have been able to make a program that prints various stuff on the screen using the commonly known function printf. This, of course, didn’t satisfy me at all, since this doesn’t tell me how the displaying of characters on my screen is actually happening. To make a somewhat forced comparison, I’m using a toaster to toast a slice of bread, but I have no idea how the heating strings inside the toaster become hot. In order to understand “the toaster”, I tried to dig up a piece of the source code responsible for making “my bread crispy and delicious”. Well…

Can something be DISHEARTENING and fun at the same time?
