I don’t really understand how OCRing a PDF could be more accurate than reading the text nodes. Another thing to consider is OCR works well for English but not so well for other lan…

Yes it’s not a safe general rule. I can do it because I first classify the statement into a document_type and then run special code for specific document_types.

I agree with you, it's not safe to have a rule saying "non-black means invisible". I should have made it clear in the blog post, but the first thing I do when processing a PDF is I…

I did try method number two, and it worked. I should update this post.

I started off using this back in 2009 when I wanted to make an adventure game. Really enjoyed it back then, great to see it’s still around

I did the 2014 version of this to learn Swift to port an Android app I made. He’s an excellent teacher! I think he worked at Apple so he shared a lot of the history behind the APIs…

Kotlin, because it’s a language I like

When I was a university student in 2009 a lecturer accused me of plagiarising a c++ win32 project I submitted. It turned out he ran it through a plagiarism detector and multiple li…

Is this something you think they can or should fix?

We do this in game development . Watch someone play the game for the first time. Don’t interfere. See if they can figure out how to play.

Normally I don't, but liked the humour.

Regarding your last sentence, it seems like he did buy a used EV.

As a noob, this is confusing me.

When people give me a hello back I raise them a “how are you?”

Hey I know you!
