It's probably operating on UTF-8 data on a byte-per-byte level without any additional processing. Just feeding it the raw string data and letting it assign the tokens. It's similar to how it is splitting words at arbitrary points,

There's an open source game called Widelands ( https://www.widelands.org/ ) that is very similar in aesthetics to Settlers 2.

The site is more readable if you remove the min-width CSS from the body and content -- it is set for content wider than a HD screen at 1500px. Or at least set it to something like 800px. I tend to have my browser at 50% width split with ano

That will also remove: 1. medical pages/docs using the medical terms anus, rectum, nipple, and semen (note that other medical terms are not on that list). 2. pages/docs using "sex" to refer to males and females. 3. pages

I don't think programming careers are/will be over. 1. The latest model is nowhere close to taking in the number of lines of code in internal projects, so will be difficult to understand the design of those systems. 2. Companies d

It would be interesting to see how these LLMs work in a REPL environment. The model could take a (language, version, compiler, sourceText) tuple as input, and have the model generate the same. It could also be fed the compiler output in a (

That quote isn't saying not to optimize. It's saying not to optimize at the start. When you initially write your code, you won't know where the bottlenecks are. So first choose and write a sensible implementation using approp

That follows one of the core optimization strategies: "do less work", or more precisely, "don't do work you aren't going to use, and don't repeat work you've already done". Here, the extra work is tha

I generally don't mock in my TDD-style approach to writing tests. If you have a dependent class, e.g. writing nested serialization logic for JSON objects, you shouldn't mock the inner classes or the JSON serialization classes. Wel

The interesting thing is that these can be used as a starting point, not the end result. Tools like ChatGPT can generate the basic framework for the song/story/TTRPG adventure hook that you as a creator can then run with, polishin

Isn't that what SAX (event based) and reader (pull based) XML parsing is for? Those allow you to incrementally/partially parse XML.

I've also experienced that. It would be better if the presentations at the end had to be based on the things developed during the hackathon. -- It does not have to be anything groundbreaking, and it can be a shoestring "hacked tog

The key issue is the "Living Standard" part, not the technical details of the specification. Practically, it means that an implementor needs to record the date at which they implemented a given piece of functionality. It means tha

All 3 use the `Class<T>` syntax and have the ability to create functions that operate on any type. If they weren't influenced by each other (e.g. C++ allows you to specify a template/generic type for a function) they would h

With the evolution of any languages you get cross-pollination between them, be it lambda functions, var/val, Markdown comments, value classes, .... For example, Java borrowed generics from languages like C++, and C# borrowed them from

Yes. Imagine you have a 2-bit integer. `11 + 1` in binary is `100`. The last `1` does not fit so only the remaining `00` gets included. The same applies for any N-bit integer.

Copyright is a good thing. The issue with copyright is that it has been extended too long, from 20+20 years (the latter of which is a manual extension) to 95 years (for publication) and life+70/80/100 years for the author. -- I un

The OGL 1.1 license (according to the leaked draft/text) explicitly says that OGL 1.0a is no longer an authorized license. The 1.1 license is clear that any content using SRD (System Reference Document) content will be in violation unl

There are a number of games released under the OGL, e.g.: 1. 13th Age 2. Castles & Crusades 3. Fudge 4. Pathfinder Note that some of these (e.g. Pathfinder) make use of the D&D base rules and setting (System Reference Document, SRD)

My understanding (from sources such as Roll For Combat and Indestructoboy) is that: 1. various creators were sent OGL 1.1 licenses, a contract to sign, FAQ, and an NDA on/around Dec 21 to be signed by Jan 4th. 2. Rumours were circulati

That's posted Dec 21. The OGL 1.1 leak happened on Jan 4th. They mention that the OGL 1.1 will only apply to static (ePub/PDF) and printed media, and the revenue terms, but they don't mention the other OGL 1.1 changes that ha

This is already having an effect on the community, as people like The Arcane Library ( https://www.youtube.com/@TheArcaneLibrary ) are shifting away from using/referencing the OGL despite having pre-prints of material us

If your application has any reasonably complex data, validating that data when it is being added into the system (i.e. if it meets the invariants) prevents bugs later down the line. If the data is different to what the application expects,
