Many thanks to you and the parent comment for providing names to search when looking for implementations. A basic question, before searching these: are they "input compatible"? I mean, can a problem be formulated once and then be

Are you sure that PowerToys require admin access to the computer? Most user preferences do not need that.

I've written code that, during initialization, after all keys have been collected, essentially called gperf to create the lookup function, compiled it, and then dynamically loaded it, so that the (long-running) program would be able to

I remember when the first LOCKSS papers appeared, the idea of "Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe" was so obvious, once explained. The example used at the time was "can you imagine that we lose the Harry Potter book? No, since it

Of course this applies to any business. So your position is that there is no economically feasible way in Europe to open an new restaurant, bakery, hair or nail salon, or any other new enterprise. Yet reality shows that somehow such activit

Thank you so much for this! It's a great resource and it's wonderful to see it resurrected.

On the "Angels and Demons" ambigrams... The artist made such an impression to the book author, Dan Brown, that he (Brown) decided to name the protagonist after him. Here's John Langdon, artist: https://www.johnlang

It's not only in the case of plugins. If a tool has different capabilities that use different imports, why load all of them if only a subset is required? As a simple example, a tool that can generate output in various formats (e.g., js

I've been using a Unihertz Jelly (2?) for years. Some of the usual apps are a little tricky in such a small screen, where the keyboard takes up a large portion of visible space, but overall it's a great solution for someone who wa

You're missing that the hash space is not divided uniformly. Which means one can vary the number of slots without recomputing the hash space division -- and without reassigning all of the existing entries.

The git commit hash is yet another dimension, the "version", which is different than the "variant". Like CC-BY-SA-3.0 vs CC-BY-SA-4.0.

I think the idea was, if you could codify all your choice parameters, you could end up with a unique identifier for each combination. Kind of like the six different variants of Creative Commons licenses: CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-NC-

You are absolutely correct. When teaching this whole routine, Dani spends much more time on the psychological background and nudges that are used, rather than the physical card manipulation techniques.

One of the best is actually the implementation of the Tcl language. It's highly readable C code, very well structured (it was initially by Ousterhout, after all).

Yes, it uses zlib and some implementation of SSL. My earlier comment about "SSL" is that the actual library might be OpenSSL, BoringSSL, WolfSSL, GnuTLS, or any one of a number of others. So the number of uses of each one is small
