That is all fair. Again, I don't have a problem with you, your project or the code you shared at all. I think it looks fantastic, and I applaud sharing the reverse engineering efforts. I only take issue with the choice of words, in cal

> What would be some good options to get paid for open source? Many might read this as "good options to get paid money in exchange for open-source source code". Then the answer is simple: you can, but only once. The code is fre

Just to clarify, I am okay with paid software existing. It is even better if you share (parts of) the source code to the community in a permissive license. But unless your incentives are aligned with community, I would be crystal-clear and

I've noticed a lot of Apple software pretends to be open-source (like this one: "Lunar is also open-source so you can check that for yourself: Github - alin23/Lunar "), when they really aren't. They're - at bes

Here's one more from me: count your liabilities. 1. Code is a liability. No code? No bugs. The best commit is one that removes unnecessary code. This includes dependencies. 2. State is a liability. Multipliers for: hidden or non-obviou

IMO search has had its goalpost moved. It used to be about scale, technical challenges, bandwidth, storage, etc. It is still about that, but a significantly harder challenge to solve has come up: searching in a malicious environment. SEO cr

Most important for me wasn't speed, it was flow . But speed is easy to put a number on. I would be a lot more cautious about injury if I was doing a lot more sustained writing. But mostly I am doing technical writing and programming,

I believe the author intended to say that they've been using this tool "for the better part of 2 years", meaning roughly 1-2 years, not that they were using something better than it.

To go against the other comments here, I couldn't get used to it (building new muscle memory - let alone switching). Years ago I bought an ErgoDox. One of the main things I underestimated is that it has an ortholinear layout: the keys

Actually, djbsort [1] uses a similar trick to sort two integers in constant time: int32_t ab = b ^ a; int32_t c = b - a; c ^= ab & (c ^ b); c >>= 31; c &= ab; a ^= c; b ^= c; How it works is th

Misleading title, the algorithm uses O(n+m) temporary space. No idea why the author is misrepresenting this. If you want to look at in-place merging, take a look at Wikisort: https://github.com/BonzaiThePenguin/WikiSort

This is true, if your comparison operator is very expensive you should (very, very carefully) implement the traditional binary search.

I am a huge proponent of "bitwise" binary search. Consider r to be the result index we wish to find in range [0, n), that is, the first index where a predicate returns false, or n if there is no such predicate. We can construct th

The answer is that it's a single-player game, and that user interfaces suck to write and model. In a multiplayer game you are generally forced to separate game logic from the UI frontend, which is a good practice regardless. But in a s

For general parsing of data I am currently advocating LR(1), and GLR or Earley for those that need ambiguity. The exception to this is programming languages, for which I think the #1 priority is error messages, thus recursive descent is qui

Incorrect, it does not match the same strings.

by orlp 5y ago
Because that does not recognize the same set of strings. That matches aaaaa, but my example above does not. That is exactly the point I'm trying to make.

by orlp 5y ago
That is incorrect. Feel free to try it here: https://pegjs.org/online , you will see that aaaaa is not a match. And no, that is not a bug in pegjs.

If you think PEG parsers are a good idea and we should use them, comment below which strings this PEG grammar matches: Str = "a" Str "a" / "a" If you get it right and you understand the logic, by

The browser history has been destroyed in my experience. No one seems to care for its usability. One-page applications, pushState/replaceState, non-descript title pages and a horrible UI for it in the browsers, it goes on.
