Or in a shorter sentence: getting a video to 1M views is a much different achievement from getting 1668 students in a single room to learn about something.

What bug(s) were shown?

This is a crossword puzzle where all hints are regular expressions. At first, it looked like there wasn't enough information in the regex patterns to fill in the grid but I assure you there is and the whole thing can be filled with logical deductions alone.

The title of this posting was edited and no longer matches the title of the article linked. I wonder if anybody knows why?

I can make it more explicit that the addition is to centre the figures in the canvas.

Thanks for the reference! I don’t know this book but I’ll take a look!

That’s a great suggestion. People could immediately see what they’re drawing!

This.

Hey there, OP here.

I jotted down some thoughts on how I think about (simple) animations and how to create them with some programming (in Python). I'd love to hear your thoughts on my write up and also what directions you suggest I take these personal explorations in.

Re:Snappify: Create beautiful code snippets with ease on Tuesday August 22, 2023 @04:13PM (#37227940)
I have been using snappify.com for over a year now and I absolutely love it.

I've used snappify to create code snippets to share on social media[1], I've used it to create YouTube video thumbnails, and I've used it to create slides for talks that I've given at big international conferences[2].

I have no affiliation with snappify whatsoever, and I'd love to see your comments on this tool.

What things look good/promising?

What's missing?

What other alternatives could I consider for similar purposes?

Article OP here! Thanks everyone for reading and for your feedback.

If you have suggestions for improvements for the article, let me know here! Thanks again.

Yes, this is VERY close to the APL way: +/ages>17

OP here; maybe I'll add a comment to the article to make the comparison between NumPy and APL for this expression. Thanks!
