The specification does have a hierarchical outline, and you can click on cross references too. Of course navigation can still be cumbersome, linking to chapters can also be awkward…

No worries! How did you find the "opensource.adobe.com" link? I can't hit it with google, even with aggressive searches like "site:opensource.adobe.com filetype:pdf". And I can't s…

Ah, thanks for the link. For some reason that link doesn't turn up in google search for me, however hard I try. Of course the ISO one is also authoritative, but not free.

Tell HN: Adobe took down the PDF 1.7 specification from their site
I just discovered that Adobe took down the PDF 1.7 specification from their site. It's used to be hosted at [1] and I can't find a replacement. Of course this doesn't mean that the…

What would be also cool is a syntax aware custom merge driver for git, but that's probably even harder.

You can have the numpad on the left, but I rarely saw keyboards like that. I saw some odd "left-handed" rubber dome keyboards, but that's it. You can also have a distinct numpad an…

Sometimes the bottleneck is on the server end, and often they throttle throughput per connection. Some download mangers allow you to download the same file through multiple connect…

I recommend aria2 for a similar purpose. Just `apt install aria2`. I'm just a happy user.

From the pricing page, limits seem to be on number of documents, not number of pages. Is the number of pages per document also limited?

It feels like an awkward middle ground. Like this method has a limited entropy output for the first 2000 coin flips (first 1000 double-heads/double-tails/mixed entries), and then s…

My impression is that arithmetic coding is the inverse. You have N symbols with different known probabilities, and you turn it into a stream of 1/2 probability random bits. edit: O…

This method generates approximately log_2(sqrt(1/(2*pi*p*(1-p))) - 1000*log_2(p^p * (1-p)^(1-p)) bits of entropy from 1000 coin flips, where "p" is the probablity of flipping heads…

As an outsider to web development, @when would be a weird choice. If CSS wants to enable 3rd party tooling to take some of the syntax space, then it should declare some parts of th…

> is it even legal to memcpy more than a T's worth of data into a T? (IMO you shouldn't be doing that, but I think it's legal in C, and not with my template trick.) How can you kno…

It's well defined in the system V ABI, isn't it? Compilers do follow that. Otherwise no layout is defined by the C and C++ standards, even outside of bitfields. edit: It's under "B…

Bitfields are standard, what are you talking about?

I expected C with libcurl on the list, but in a sense that might be the toughest to implement.

From experience, opening a bank account in the UK takes a while. And for that time you need cash on hand, or a working foreign bank account/bank card.

I guess I can understand that from an ease of configuration standpoint. Having said that I had no trouble with setting up zerotier VPN, which is also very easy to configure.

Any reason you don't use some kind of VPN solution for that instead?

That's easier said then done, when you integrate over a high dimensional (possibly infinite) space.

`puts` has a return value indicating success or failure. edit: https://cigix.me/c17#7.21.7.9.p3
