Yes this is generally the fallback approach if finding the objects via the index (xref) fails. It is slightly slower but it's a one time cost, though I imagine it was a lot slower …

If you don't have a known set of PDF producers this is really the only way to safely consume PDF content. Type 3 fonts alone make pulling text content out unreliable or impossible,…

You're right, this was a fairly common failure state seen in the sample set. The previous reference or one in the reference chain would point to offset of 0 or outside the bounds o…

Yes, you're right there are Linearized PDFs which are organized to enable parsing and display of the first page(s) without having to download the full file. I skipped those from th…

FWIW they are acting, these things just take a while, current phase of gathering comments ends December 2nd https://www.fdic.gov/news/press-releases/2024/fdic-proposes-...

The point, which seems to be routinely massively downvoted on here, is that both things can be true at once: - these drugs are good and a paradigm shift in the treatment of obesity…

The idea with the named delegate would be if you need some way to: delegate Task GetUserEmail(int userId); This provides more guidance than taking in a: Func > getUserEmail If you …

My aim is to use dependency injection to inject the minimal dependency and nothing more. Versus the grab bag every interface in a medium-complexity C# project eventually devolves i…

I've been experimenting with this, it makes testing trivial and removes the coupling that inevitably occurs with multi method interfaces. However I think there's one missing enhanc…

Having built recurring stuff in the past (date based with no time component, luckily for me) I think you gain a lot of usability gains for generating a row for each occurrence of t…

But the problem is the accounting jargon is counter (contra?) to the layman's gut understanding. If I get credited or I use a credit card money came from nowhere, woohoo. If I have…

Sounds sort of like the Citroen Ami? Slightly below your ideal range and quite expensive too but the same concept.

For sure as others have mentioned review it yourself in the web interface of whichever PR tool you use. (Generally after having a break first) This is something of a superpower for…

As the sibling comment says (max reply depth reached) the sub-postmasters in general were just about getting by. Part of why this scandal is so egregious is that these people were …

I think any (financial crime) case built solely on computer evidence is too weak to be prosecuted, even if that means you end up accepting some non-zero amount of financial crime. …

The other complication was that a change in the law was made to assume computer systems were correct by default due to the problems with the existing law around breathalysers and s…

Can wholeheartedly add my recommendation for the book. In fact I think it should be required reading for anyone in the business of software. While I felt it was a bit over-long it …

Agree with this, if one is thinking in terms of typing letters out you're working at entirely the wrong level of abstraction and with the wrong primitives. I often use the example …

Presumably that's only when using the Windows platform identifiers? This is news to me, thanks for the correction.

It amazes me that these mega wealthy corporations don't understand uh... going abroad. Like I know it's not so common on the US but here if you pop across to France for a week you …

I can try but will doubtless miss something. .NET Framework was the .NET we all knew and tolerated. It was on version 4.6/7 or so. Windows specific, requires a full install of the …
