When working with non text file formats (e.g. coding a parser or file generator) hex editors are convenient for checking that data are where they're expected to be, finding out where they are otherwise, or checking what values they hav

While Python may be an easy language, Javascript may be the easiest to get things running. It's just there before you even start downloading what other languages need. Just press F12 and REPL away. I use the JS console as a calculator

Alternatively, searching has to be changed. The non AI content doesn't necessarily disappear, but are gradually becoming "hidden gems". Something like Marginalia which does this for SEO noise would be nice.

KHTML also led to WebKit then Blink.

I'm curious if you've used Lazarus and what you think about it. I have not used enough similar IDEs to compare it (or maybe just forgotten how it was) and didn't have access to Borland tools back in the day. One crazy thing I

Unlike in its time, almost everyone now has access to a good camera. Most of the effort would go to good lighting and finding objects that satisfy these criteria. A contrived CGI render could also serve the purpose.

It's fully Japanese though (and Kanji heavy), so the linked article is still helpful as an English overview for those not (yet) proficient in Japanese.

It need not be braces. Maybe the 'end' in Ruby, Pascal, Matlab or partially in Basic would look more natural.

The important part is that you're actually "listening". I used to listen to audiobooks when I commute to work and I do learn from them. Stuck at home, I play audiobooks as part of multi-tasking, and there are many times that

Any suggestions for hosts that will just make your site offline once it reaches its tier limit? Cloudflare and Netlify get suggested a lot and I was considering one of them before this.

Can't hosts just make a site unavailable once it reaches its plan's bandwidth limit, DDoS or not? I think being offline is a lesser headache than a large bill, especially for those who are inclined to a free tier to begin with.

I tried before because I read a lot of praise about it. But it seemed to me that there's not much of a standard library or included batteries (at the time, I was looking for something that can open image files or compute FFTs). Perhaps

It is forgivable if the wrong choice is not so harmful (e.g. play/pause a video) and the effect is reversible. There's an e-commerce website I use that has an option to post product reviews as anonymous with a "slide toggle&q

C++ Builder also has them in their extensions to C++. My guess is that it looks convenient for languages that have a de facto GUI framework/library. In Delphi/Object Pascal, C#, C++ Builder, it becomes convenient to, for example,

Then electronics... Electronic or "e-" also made things sound futuristic, especially when the non-electronic counterparts were still common.

This somehow reminds me of Marc Levoy's HDR+ [0] that uses the same exposure time for each shot instead of the conventional bracketing. The technique can take many same short exposure time shots and computationally make the photo brigh

Any book recommendations for conventional game AI? (Particularly with the "game" part, as games always have interesting constraints.) Thanks in advance.

Great to see more accessible references on font internals! I have dabbled on this a bit last year and managed to have a parser and render the points in a glyph's contour (I stopped before Bezier and shape filling stuff). I still have n

I had reversed engineered some ASCII file formats. While probably overkill, my background parsing simple programming languages (for which there are many good educational resources) was really helpful (in the approach I use). I tokenize, and

In the context here, it is about rapidly making a GUI by visually editing widgets, usually via drag and drop, pretty much like placing shapes in a power point slide. The IDE doesn't just contain a source code editor, but also that visu

I can speak for one where I have worked in a technical/academic capacity. Once a software is made in EU/US then shared to the world, I observe that there is no incentive for others to be good at it. Just use/download/pay
