This entry inspired me to write this javascript implementation to test my high-speed GIF encoder, which I used for animations in the pre-canvas era. It needs keyboard arrows to navigate. https://xyzzy.github.io/jsFlightSim

Found this: Because it's simply available as an option. National Geographic is licensed and marketed differently in Korea, so it's just sold as a regular brand in normal retail outlets. It's not really necessary to reach

This was my 1996 IOCCC entry, a mastermind solver. Key features are that it is a one-liner (no macros) and everything is coded using for-loops. char*p,*q,*r,s[50000];int i,j,k,l;main(){for(r=s,i=10000;i--;r++)for(j=i+3211,k=4;k--;*r++=

Both projects stem from the same root, TXT=EXE. However, both branch in totally different directions. One says "any printable goes" whereas the other says "only the smallest subset (preferably also for ASCII art) goes",

Yes, like many others. That's why I upped the ante by stating "numeric and lowercase characters only". And with the glyph differences between them also create a "hidden" image. Editted: What you reference to is a co

This begs for the challenge: How would a program look like if the opcodes it could use exclusively consists of ASCII characters? This has been a niche programming challenge which was popular before I knew it existed, so I upped the ante by

Splash is an alternative approach to traditional top-left to bottom-right scanline image/frame rendering. It sorts the pixels of a frame in order of significance, and paints them guided by weighted rows and columns. The longer the rend

The video contains nasty rhetoric like the male voice actor calling the female voice actor a Bitch.

Have you checked the trackers and data loggers build into that app that directly or indirectly call home when you interact with your lights? I have an aquarium and I use a water quality tester when I suspect something is wrong. Before it wa

Absolutely this. Minimal setup debugging using gdb in TUI/sourcecode mode, optionally over ssh.

I would like to read, but get a page full about checking my browser and that I need to do a CAPTCHA, which won't load because I have disabled javascript as I initially do not trust unknown sites.

It would also be nice to load the cropped image into the clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere. And why save as lossy jpeg if the image is uncompressed (like screenshots or PNG)

Been there, totally agree. It also makes you think things through less introducing sloppiness, cuts corners introducing bugs, spikes stress aggravating the situation, causing near certainty to miss the final deadline.

Do not forget the notes on dup2(). It's about the automatic closing of newfd before it gets replaced. I've bumped into this situation several times, that is why I'm mentioning it. SYNOPSIS int dup2(int oldfd, int newfd
