This specification defines a standard for sticker compatibility from multiple vendors. By following this specification, implementors can ensure they meet the expectations of sticker consumers. A standard allows producers to supply tools that help ensure maximum compliance and enjoyability.

The Markov algorithm [1, 2] can be used as a language parser and as means fordefining languages [2–5]. This work is concerned with the amount of computing time which the algorithm requires. Computing time is measured by the number of comparisons between the rules of the grammar and the input string. A modification is introduced into the algorithm which reduces the computation time. It is proved that under certain conditions imposed on the rules of the grammar the computing time required by the modified algorithm is bounded linearly by the length of the input string. One set of such conditions requires that each application of a grammar rule reduces the length of the input string. Another set requires that each application does not increase the length of the input string and that the graph associated with the rules of the grammar satisfies certain restrictions.

Converts a PNG to 2- or 4-colour uxntal data literals.

Tedu released his fifth or so fediverse server. This time featuring migrateable user identities and Java Script-heavy interface, which is actually fast because he doesn't know React.

Where does he get the time and energy? So prolific

Search engines put their money on computation, or to use today’s parlance, algorithms (or if you’re really shameless, AI). Directories put their money on humans. Good ol’ information architecture.

It turned out that computation scaled faster than humans. Search won out over directories.

merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl.

A less profane and Oedipal manifesto for a better World Wide Web

Matthew teaches us how to make websites. I like this one better than the other one because it's, well, “less profane”.

All these retrogrades usually forget about Unicode updates! If your finished software does not support the newest writing system, then something is wrong. Well, I'm just saying. Actually, I like finished software! One day, I'll write one.

Гришаев завёл себе пет-проект на Яве и отчитывается, что современная Ява вообще-то классная! Я тоже это подозревал, поэтому решил попробовать её в Бетулоптиконе.

Taking a look back and using a 20 year old iPod today.

Try to out smart the cat! Don't let him escape. This game is addicting, be forewarned!

Simple but fun game. I want to port it to uxn or something someday...

TL;DR: Alpine is boring, this is good.

Recently I've had an issue with Alpine, which I had to resolve with some workaround from GitHub issues. But otherwise it's boring yeah. Cool. One day I'll use it on all of my servers! For now, I only use it on CI.

Durden is a program that identifies, counts and, optionally, marks and/or cuts out and saves unique tiles in a given image file.

This feed fetcher was sending an If-Modified-Since HTTP header, but it had a rather striking value of 'Wed, 01 Jan 1800 00:00:00 GMT'. Naturally this doesn't match any Last-Modified value my feed has ever provided, and it wouldn't help if I used a time based comparison since all syndication feeds in the world have been changed since 1800.

Sourcehut uses it: https://status.sr.ht. Maybe I should monitor my services the same way.
