Full disclosure, brat author. We were inspired by things like "What's Wrong With My NLP?" [1] and TikZ-dependency [2]. But, truth be told, there is not all that many great visualisation tools out there for NLP data. The sa

I switched to using DDG as a default a long time ago and have experienced improved results over the last few years. I would say that ~97.5% of my searches now go over DDG, if the search fail I add "!g" to the query to see if Goog

I honestly do not get the controversy. They work as consultants to fund development and the start-up has been publicly known for almost a year. How is this any different from companies hiring developers to contribute to the Linux kernel o

Thank you for correcting me. As a Swede, I feel somewhat ashamed, despite my awful record when it comes to names.

Agreed, this is the very reason I created a small script [1] to install them on non-OpenBSD systems. They are excellent for as references when coding C and to check what is most likely a GNU extension when writing portable shell scripts. [

I was a bit afraid to submit something with "rangefinder" in the title, so I will take it upon myself to explain it. "Rangefinder" is commonly used as a short form of "rangefinder camera". Back in the early 19
