Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).
It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.
| # one or the other, NOT both | |
| [url "https://github"] | |

| # or | |
| [url "git@github.com:"] | |

I recently happened upon a very interesting implementation of popen() (different API, same idea) called popen-noshell using clone(2), and so I opened an issue requesting use of vfork(2) or posix_spawn() for portability. It turns out that on Linux there's an important advantage to using clone(2). I think I should capture the things I wrote there in a better place. A gist, a blog, whatever.
This is not a paper. I assume reader familiarity with
fork()in particular and Unix in general, though, of course, I link to relevant wiki pages, so if the unfamiliar reader is willing to go down the rabbit hole, they should be able to come ou

This is a bash script, as an example, on how to do click-testing GUI based on finding components based on how they look.
NOTE: If you want to keep the history for a specific folder in the master branch, just skip steps in lines 3,4,5,6,7
git clone <git-repository-url>
cd <git-repository-dir>
git checkout <branch-name> # line 3; Checkout the branch of interest
git merge --strategy=ours master # line 4; keep the content of this branch only and record a merge
git checkout master # line 5; Go back to the master branch
Just a quickie test in Python 3 (using Requests) to see if Google Cloud Vision can be used to effectively OCR a scanned data table and preserve its structure, in the way that products such as ABBYY FineReader can OCR an image and provide Excel-ready output.
The short answer: No. While Cloud Vision provides bounding polygon coordinates in its output, it doesn't provide it at the word or region level, which would be needed to then calculate the data delimiters.
On the other hand, the OCR quality is pretty good, if you just need to identify text anywhere in an image, without regards to its physical coordinates. I've included two examples:
