About once a year I see a cool new programming font and decide to try it out. Then, shortly after, I invariably switch back to DejaVu Sans Mono. I suspect that if I gave myself more time to acclimatize to the new font, I might even grow to

I knew what this was going to be as soon as I saw "aux.h" in the screenshot. Some years ago I was working on an embedded system that involved DisplayPort. For those unaware, DP's control channel is called AUX. One day, my new

I was wondering the same thing. It's either a horrible human-written article, or an impressive machine-written one.

A paper that changed my approach to designing state machines is "Statecharts: A Visual Formalism for Complex Systems" by Harel ( http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~harel/papers/Statecharts.p... ). Statechar

I'm not sure about Lua, but for Python it sounds like you may be interested in the "with" statement.

A simple, principled way of solving October's problem is to model it as a Markov chain with absorbing states (the "Finish" square, and the two invisible squares past it -- the two invisible squares are unnecessary as mentione

I was referring to the "mebi" prefix. I agree that, currently, the old SI prefixes have perhaps been made slightly more ambiguous due to the introduction of the new prefixes. It is my hope that the computing community will eventually reach
