"Four 32-bit data structures are enough to write a Snake Game in a field of 32 cells" might have been a more accurate title. In this way, "One integer is enough to write a Snake Game" (but you play in a 2x2 field).

That's an interesting approach. Unfortunately it's too US-centric (probably by design). Does anyone know anything similar covering international news?

Right. The work that Mark has done for more than three decades is amazing. Unfortunately I think it has been unappreciated and largely unknown, leading to people either re-inventing things already known, or, even worse, trying to create som

I as really happy to see Tcl mentioned alongside Forth and Lisp. It's, in my opinion, a wonderful "small language", clearly defined by the 12 rules in the Dodekalogue.

Interesting. I am not sure why, for character-based encodings, they used a general-purpose font (Inconsolata) rather than one that is specifically made for OCR -- and how this would have made it better. Going further, if you only print a li

Like others, I am also very interested in this functionality. I've used Monica ( https://www.monicahq.com ) before; too bad it seems abandoned. But providing personal info to an anonymous external website is a blocking point.

Genuine question, because I've never worked somewhere with a monorepo infrastructure: is it really "one repo for all code in the organization" or "one repo for everything related"? In my organization we have around

Some people also use formats like PDF or images instead of editable text or slides for exactly the same reason. It's not that they can't be modified, but it's an indication that you're not supposed to.

Not all implementations suffer from these. There are some that guarantee that guessing will never be forced to guess and logical deduction is enough to solve any puzzle. For example, the Mines game in Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Col

Unfortunately, instead of a general "static site generator" it seems this is just another "blog site generator". Does anyone know of any general static site generators, where there are no preconceived notions of "po

Actually the PDF does not contain "the entire font file for every font used" but only a subset, containing the definitions of only the characters (glyphs) being used in the document. That's why the font appears not as "X
