They ought to get source code, too ! Crazy to think we'd pay for software, ask for source to run a Fortify scan & whatnot, and get told to kick rocks. "Proprietary ... trade secrets ... &c&c". Just mark it green

What do I picture? 2D pieces, to be honest. Computer chess is just so prevalent. I picture what I'd call "USCF style" [1] because that's what they'd use in the Chess Life magazine to annotate games. I also pictu

Great article. Informative, qualified. I had not realized how splintered the [E]BNF syntax is, like in the way I already knew timestamps are (3339 vs 8601 vs mm/dd/yyyy &c &c). Q: what's your ideal way to write Unic

I feel like the prices have gone up for years & years. I thought my Spyderco was a cheaper alternative to Benchmade, but now they're basically all $100+. $65 is now $130 or so. My guess is collectors that'll buy at almost an

Criticker does relative rankings, percentile-matched, in kinda the same way. For films (not books). So if I rate Feature Film I II & III as 30 50 70, and you rate them 70 80 90, we would basically "agree". It's a neat s

I think `COBOL` is (nowadays) a catch-all term for `COBOL` &/ `IBM assembler` &/ `IMS/hierarchical databases` and/or batch jobs. I can't fault a journalist for referring to all of that inexactly by `COBOL`.

I remember white/black-dithering (at even twice the dpi) being a lot smaller than the greyscale jpeg, when I was scanning documents. Greyscale was a bit smaller than full color, but dithered was a big step up (er, down).
