The difference between XYZ and TMS tiles and how to convert between them

Lots of tile-based maps use either the XYZ or TMS scheme. These are the maps that have tiles ending in /0/0/0.png or something. Sometimes if it's a script, it'll look like &z=0&y=0&x=0 instead. Anyway, these are usually maps in Spherical Mercator.

Good examples are OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, MapBox, MapQuest, etc. Lots of maps.

Most of those are in XYZ. The best documentation for that is slippy map tilenames on the OSM Wiki, and Klokan's Tiles a la Google.

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.

Q: How can I make a chain of function decorators in Python?

If you are not into long explanations, see [Paolo Bergantino’s answer][2].

Redirecting GitHub Pages after a repository move

The problem

You have a repository, call it alice/repo. You would like to transfer it to the user bob, so it will become bob/repo.

However, you make heavy use of the GitHub Pages feature, so that people are often accessing https://alice.github.io/repo/. GitHub will helpfully redirect all of your repository stuff hosted on github.com after the move, but will not redirect the GitHub Pages hosted on github.io.

The solution

A guide to writing a language grammar (TextMate) in Atom

Tree sitter

• Atom is transitioning to an entirely new way of defining grammars using tree-sitter. This will be enabled by default quite soon now. It is theoretically faster and more powerful than regex based grammars (the one described in this guide), but requires a steeper learning curve. My understanding is that regex based grammars will still be supported however (at least until version 2), so this guide can still be useful. To enable it yourself, go to Settings -> Core and check Use Tree Sitter Parsers

Links for tree-sitter help:

• tree-sitter: the main repo
• tree-sitter-cli: converts a JavaScript grammar to the required C/C++ files
• node-tree-sitter: module to use Tree-sitter parsers in NodeJS
• [My guide on starting a Tree-sitter grammar

# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.

# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
# programs.

# Once you're done here, go to

In case anyone else wants to play with Zig on webassembly, here's what you need to do to make it work on a mac today.

1. Get LLVM 7 compiled with webassembly support.

You'll need LLVM to output to the WASM target. This has just been added by default in trunk, so if LLVM >7 is available, you might be able to just brew install llvm.

If you have wasm support already you should see:

$ llc --version

  ZigZag-Encoding
  ---------------
  
  Maps negative values to positive values while going back and
  forth (0 = 0, -1 = 1, 1 = 2, -2 = 3, 2 = 4, -3 = 5, 3 = 6 ...)

  (i >> bitlength-1) ^ (i << 1)

  with "i" being the number to be encoded, "^" being
  XOR-operation and ">>" would be arithemtic shifting-operation
