What advantages does this have over existing apps, like iReal Pro?

That is an interesting idea! It could detect the borders of the screen, straighten and auto crop, perhaps detect and match the frames per second… if the camera resolution is high enough you could maybe even detect the original source resolu

When I have to do some really quick ad-hoc webscraping, I often just select all text on the page, copy it, and then switch to a terminal window where I build a pipeline that extracts the part I need (using pbpaste to access the clipboard).

We mostly had Family Computing magazine. I looked up an issue from 1985 with one of my favorite type-by-hand games, Hit or Miss [0], and no sight of a helpful checksum. To be honest, the idea of it would have blown my mind back then; the i

Huh, we used to type in BASIC programs from magazines back in the 1980s and I don’t ever recall seeing any kinds of checksum. We would often resort to printing out the code and visually comparing line by line against the magazine.

I'm no architect, but surely the precise details of the exterior walls are decided based on the floor plan, not the other way around? Seems odd to assume the walls are fixed before the floor plan has been determined. Of course, the sh

The undisputed king of GBC. His modules are works of art. So many incredibly intricate and innovated mechanisms with lots of precisely coordinated parts, yet driven from a single standard Lego motor. And the videos are well-shot, clear a
