Lots of interesting programming learning games links via b0rk on Twitter

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/25

Every once in a while, b0rk (Julia Evans, of [Wayback/Archive] wizard zines fame) asks interesting questions like below that results in lot of cool links.

I have blogged assemblies of them before (see for instance Lots of interesting git links via b0rk on Twitter) and this one is no different:

[Wayback/Archive] Julia Evans on Twitter: “what are some helpful programming learning games? thinking of things like mystery.knightlab.com for SQL, and flexboxfroggy.com, and ohmygit.org especially interested in games that have helped you learn something”

[Wayback/Archive] The SQL Murder Mystery
[Wayback/Archive] Flexbox Froggy – A game for learning CSS flexbox
[Wayback/Archive] Oh My Git!

The response was overwhelmingly good (I tried to indicate when games are not free or not playable from a web browser). I summarised it below.

Converting html div tables to normal tables

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/12

Sometimes normal html tables are better suited than the more style friendly div tables, as they better suit the underlying data and are easier when you need column or row spans using the colspan and rowspan html attributes, explain semantics better, and … display as tables even without styling!

Converting from div tables to normal html tables is not as straightforward than from normal html tables to div tables.

So here are some links that helped me with both div tables and the conversion:

[Wayback] How can I use jQuery to convert into HTML table? – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback] yob!)

in case someone needs to convert on the-fly:

var div2table = $('.outer-div ').map(function () {
                var issue = $(this);
                var trline = issue.find('.inner-div').map(function () {
                    return '<td>' + $(this).text();
                }).get().join('</td>');
                return '<tr>'  + trline;
            }).get().join('</tr>');

div2table = '<table>' + div2table + '</table>';

where divs are

<div class='outer-div'><div class='inner-div'>this will be 1st TD</div>.....</div>

[Wayback] javascript – Converting div table to normal table – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback] Shaggy)

You could use JavaScript to create a table, loop through all the .row and .column elements in the div to popultate it, remove the div and append the table. Here’s something I threw together very quickly to get you started. (I commented out the line that removes the div so you can see both in the results).

maartensukel/example-textual-classification-citizen-reports: Example of a simple textual classification using TF-IDF and LR.

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/04

Cool technology:

[Wayback/Archive] maartensukel/example-textual-classification-citizen-reports: Example of a simple textual classification using TF-IDF and LR.

The classification is done by using a TF-IDF (Term Freuqency – Inversed document frequency) as representation for the text and a logistic regression to classify the text. Optimal hyperparameters for the dataset are found using a gridsearch.

Author: [Wayback/Archive] Maarten Sukel (@MaartenSukel) / Twitter

The source is based on Python Pandas and sci-kit learn (also known as sklearn).

Stephan Kämper: Processing a Number of Image Files – Seaside Testing

Script alternatives to the Windows-L keyboard shortcut (SwitchUser / LockWorkstation)

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/23

More than a decade ago I wrote about Programmatic alternatives to Windows-L keyboard shortcut (SwitchUser / LockWorkstation).

Still, I see many scripts invoke rundll32.exe or to call the [Wayback/Archive] LockWorkStation function (winuser.h) inside user32.dll. Don’t!

The BOOL LockWorkStation()function has a calling convention that is incompatible with rundll32.exe () which will corrupt the call stack likely will lead to random problems as after two decades, this post from Raymond Chen still holds: [Wayback/Archive] What can go wrong when you mismatch the calling convention? – The Old New Thing

Some notes on Fierit

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/30

Since I had only one read-only account and the Fierit ECD system won’t sent me update notifications on that account, I have collected some links before actually doing deeper investigation to see how to build a push notification system around it.

Link dump:

Type systems are an accessibility tool for programming; for weakly languages you should enable type hints or type enforcement

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/25

I made [Wayback/Archive] Rebecca Skinner on Twitter: “Type systems are an accessibility tool for programming with ADHD.” stronger in the post title, as I have been a proponent of stronger typed environments for all my programming life.

Yes, (unit) tests and tooling can alleviate this in part for more weakly typed languages but lots of people forget (or “forget”) putting these in place.

So please please: make your development environment as strictly typed as possible.

Not just your ADHD colleagues will applaud you for this, but your future self will as well.
