Great question. I can't say this was intentional or not. To people interested, it was only one line of code missing: he ""forgot"" to include the first transaction to the mapTransactions.

Yes, correct. But why including such specific parts? This was my question after that phrase :)

Verbose? Explaining data structures to newbie is verbose, isn't it? Off-topic? And then a different hash from the hardcoded value in the code? Not quite sure. You need to verify your sources. You can easily verify the hash of the pre-g

Hahah it's gohugo but I wanted to customize a little bit. It's a funny easter egg to mention the incredible genius behind Olivetti

Thanks, I might expand this in a new article :) This seemed to be too long for some readers.

Who knows? The person or people behind Satoshi identity. I believe that the person who posted that source code on BitcoinTalk forum has already stated that he merely copied&pasted the code (so he did not introduce any weird formatting).

Hi! OP here, thanks for your comment. Please note that I'm not a native English speaker so probably during translation I might have miswritten concepts as I intended. Let me explain. The fact that he released the first genesis block on

Really similar to one I have already seen on Photoshop. My goal was comparing the pdfs without any Adobe, my editors do not have license for that.

Probably. It's really similar to the approach that munificentbob used in his tool ( http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2021/07/29/640-pages-in-15... ). It uses mainly a Photoshop action.

Thank you! :) you do not know how many issues I spotted on older books I formatted. Paragraphes randomly moved on the top, images streched as I was build more pdf.. all human errors that can be - at least - spotted.

I took inspiration from that repository too! :)

Thanks for the feedback. Should the user specify the page boundaries or does pdf-diff automatically checks where page boundaries are?

Thanks for the comment! I think it's not too difficult to build something similar (even with a web server so you can make comparison on fly). I'm playing with alpha compositing, I'm going to commit some little changes to ench

> ImageMagick's `compare` can do this as well, on a pixel-level. Yes, thanks for the comment. I wanted to build something with golang :)

Yes, if it causes things to shift, the tool shows every page red. This tool is meant to be ran in the final phase of typesetting, the moment when you want to focus attention on details (e.g. spacing).
