I cannot use this because it always resets the custom zoom level for web site. For example I cannot browse HN with the default font size, so I set Firefox to zoom 120% for news.ycombinator.com, and I don't want to have to do that each

Agreed. In the meantime, there is a Firefox addon called Font Fingerprinting Defender that attempt to mitigate this attack: https://mybrowseraddon.com/font-defender.html

The tutorials listed here can vary a lot in quality. For the text editor section for example, there is a very good tutorial in C which guides its reader through the development of a kilo-like text editor with buffer management and everyth

The fact that Google's result are seemingly decreasing in quality surely doesn't help. But maybe that's just me? Are others having the feeling?

This is fun :). Shouldn't such a thing be called steganography instead of cryptography ?

The native binary produced by ocamlopt is 917KB, the bytecode produced by ocamlc is 156KB. I must admit I didn't expect such "big" files. Out of curiosity I tested to compile a completely empty OCaml program: the native binar

As I wrote elsewhere, I use this tiny compiler as an introduction to the course, which goes into much more details and of course covers how to compile realistic programming languages (with multiple types of data, variables, conditional an

Don't be sorry for this nice comment! I totally understand the cuteness feeling ^_^.

Yes exactly :), I meant that it does everything from lexing the source code to emitting bytecode instructions (and provides the VM to run this bytecode). It is not a part of a compiler, it is a tiny, simple, stupid, but complete , compiler

> using a parser generator and not counting its output in the line count does seem like cheating Yeah maybe I should count OCaml's standard library lines of code too. Maybe also count expanded macros and inlined functions at each ca

Yes, they do. Lex and yacc equivalent tools are available for many languages. Examples : - Python: https://ply.readthedocs.io/ (I already used it in a very small project, again for my students, here is an example of how it

Hey there, author here :). The language is intentionally very simple indeed, because the goal is to showcase all indispensable steps of a complete compiler. I initially wrote it for my students as an introduction to my compiler class (for

Yes! I also like that a lot. I think Racket has one of the best programming language landing page regarding this criterion: https://racket-lang.org/ :).

Same here, I use ls when I'm where I want to be, but for navigating the filesystem to there, I use cd and TAB TAB autocompletion (which is smart enough to only suggest directories).
