You can download a database dump which contains the wikitext source. You can interpret this into HTML. What GP means is extracting the natural-language text from this (separating it from the infoboxes, presentation information, etc).

How others see you determines whether they will cooperate with you, give you information you need to do your job, hire you, fire you, promote you, and how much they will pay you. Jobs where you can "focus on the code" to the total

The college produces different outcomes than a popular vote - that's true. I also don't think it's a good thing. But gerrymandering is something specific: drawing electoral districts to deliberately produce certain electoral

The electoral college is basically not gerrymandered. In all but two states, everyone in the state is voting in the same electoral college "district" - i.e., the state - and the boundaries of the states were established sufficient

Is Muhayideen related to the Arabic word "mujahideen" or is it just a coincidence that they look kind of similar?

The US lost, but the US still supports Israel, still has troops in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East, and still supports various anti-Islamist fighters around the world, so no, Osama bin Laden did not achieve his goals.

It's generally expected that functions compiled with different compilers (for the same target architecture) can call each other. This only works if the compilers agree on where function arguments go; since they are all required to do i

The team that found it is at least partly academic; they published a paper on a free-start collision at CRYPTO 2015, and made a prediction there about how long it would take them and how much it would cost to find a full collision, which w

I just mean that inspecting and manipulating strings is sufficiently complex that most of the time you use something like libicu to do it, so the apparent convenience of [] is not useful to the average programmer.

Note that the person asking for the review is not the author of the paper, but the editor of the journal or conference. They have several hundred submissions to keep track of at a time. They need to assign two or three reviewers to each pap

I don't think "viz." is correct here, either, which isn't surprising given the total absence of hyperlinks in the Latin corpus. A plain "see" would be best.

Thanks! I didn't consider the fact that objects are opaque.

Everything that's wrong with [] is wrong with [Char] and more so. In a Unicode world, it rarely makes sense to iterate over codepoints in a string, and it's rarely useful to prepend codepoints or drop codepoints at the beginning o

This technique is limited by the fact that it only works if all the messages are sent to x, rather than x being sent some message.

No, adblockers also use things like div ids, and potentially even heuristics like image shape.
