Be aware that with the WHATWG Encoding specification [1], that says that latin1, ISO-8859-1, etc. are aliases of the windows-1252 encoding, not the proper latin1 encoding. As a result, browsers and operating systems will display those fil

XPath and XSLT are still active, especially in the publishing space where documents are not stored in HTML, but in other formats like JATS or DocBook and need converting to HTML when displaying to the user, or converting to other XML format

I've had the opposite experience. I've found using Optional/map everywhere harder to read than Kotlin nullable types. And I find Kotlin streams/streaming API easier to read and use/more intuitive than Java's eq

I'm using Java 11 and Java 17 with Kotlin without issues. When targeting Java 8, Kotlin creates helper classes for the default methods on interfaces as that is not supported in Java 8, whereas on Java 9+ it uses Java default functions.

And in applications like text-to-speech/speech synthesis and speech recognition. Then there are the gray areas like training statistical models that are not ML/ANNs, but are things like Hidden Markov Models and the Vertibi algorit

Is this applicable just to the recent generative ML models for text, images, audio where you give it a prompt, or is this also applicable to other ML models. That is, does it apply to text-to-speech models that take phonetic/text and p

Reading the blog post and linked question/answer, the phone number requirement only applies to organization accounts, not to personal accounts. What is unclear is whether a non-US organization is able to create and use a D-U-N-S number

Try editing the pre style so it has `white-space: pre-wrap`. That works for me. -- This uses `pre` whitespace formatting but wraps to the next line if it is too long, unlike the default `pre` element behaviour.

Frameworks are good if what you are trying to do aligns with the model/architecture of that framework. Trying to do something outside that gets exponentially more painful the further away you are from that framework. The same also appl

I wonder if the idea is that adding pseudo-classes for the different things is not really scalable because you would ultimately need to do it for a lot of things -- requiring browsers to implement, test, and maintain custom code for each se

If you want an idea of what the plays sounded like at the time they were written, check out the work by David Crystal in his efforts to reconstruct Original Pronunciation (OP). There are YouTube videos of him and his son (Ben Crystal) talki

IIUC, you can add "on" triggers to the GitHub Actions to only build on the original repository. That would prevent this issue. Making the change in this repository would require having the forks updated, so maybe the owner can the

Kotlin is in a tricky place w.r.t. Java because the JVM is one of Kotlin's target platforms. If Kotlin deviated from the JVM too far, it would be harder to migrate to the newer JVM versions. That specifically applies to things like pat

My biggest gripe with the Reddit UI is having to continually click expand to see nested/additional comments. It makes it difficult to read comments on a topic. I much prefer the HN approach of open by default with a collapse/expan

I see AI tools as being useful for getting a first draft of something (art, code, text, etc.) which the artist, writer, etc. can use to edit and refine into a product. It can also be useful for experimenting with/iterating on concepts.

I also want to tag and highlight those parts of the document. For that, I need to know where the label starts and ends, which you can't really do when you don't have control over the tokens. It's also hard to write custom inf

No I haven't. Thanks for the pointer. For detecting uses of nouns like werewolf/werewolves, or vampire/vampires, I at least need the lemma to avoid writing different cases or a regex for each noun. Likewise, lemmatization can

The problem with GPT and other LLMs is that they don't tokenize words at a word or morpheme level, it's just blocks of up to 4 characters, so you get tokens like `!"` instead of two separate tokens. -- That makes it harder to

I've been interested in NLP for tagging stories based on topics and themes (detectives, werewolves, murder mystery, etc.), so need accurate disambiguation of parts of speech and ways of detecting uses of metaphore, similies, etc. to de

Macros aren't the only thing that make wxWidgets like MFC. Things like using new but not delete on objects. The method and event names. The use of DCs in paint events. Etc.

wxWidgets feels heavily inspired by Microsoft's MFC framework. That always felt clunky to me, compared to GUI toolkits like Qt and GTK.

There are some interesting patterns/behaviours with Langton's ants. In a wrap around world (e.g. moving off the left/right will enter the other side), the ant will collide with its "hive" (starting blob) or "hi

One benefit of splitting the lexer and parser is that you can write tests for the lexer that cover different lexical variations of a token -- e.g. for decimal/double values you could test that `1.`, `.2`, `1.0` all produce the same tok

The best thing to do here is to check the IntelliJ bug tracker ( https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA ) to see if your issue is there, and if not create a ticket for it. That way, it is more likely to be fixed.

It's interesting that they are selling the excess to the local supplier as they will be able to offset the cost faster, and start making a profit from it sooner. That is, the point at which the amount of money saved from not paying for

XML is good for documents that don't have a regular markup (XHTML, DocBook, JATS, MathML, etc.) where you can mix content elements -- e.g. italic annotations. JSON is good for structured data/records such as serialized data struct

I've noticed that it correctly splits warm|est, cold|est, bleak|est, but darkest is a single token. I've also seen it group `?"`, `."`, `!"`, and `.--` into single tokens. It also splits some words like "Elton&
