Helium is used to pressurize hydrogen and other gases to move them through the plumbing. This link says "before takeoff" but its also used after.

Welp. I ruined emojis for everyone.

Like others have said: great job. Usually there is a tradeoff of functional, aesthetics, and open source/no tracking where we only get 2 of the 3.

EZ 5-star review for me.

If those buttons are appealing, I recognize them from this blog post by Josh Comeau https://www.joshwcomeau.com/animation/3d-button/

As someone who began programming in undergrad, Java was the university's language of choice for the "introduction to programming" course. My first internship was in Java SE 6 and part of the big debate for that summer was when to move to 7.

I haven't used it since but I'm glad to see it's gotten the more modern language features that make writing and reading code much easier. Without this list, I probably would never have learned this so thanks

This is fantastic. I'll be using on a new project and will happily provide feedback.

> I don't. Programmers are retards. That's my answer to everything. And the only evidence I need is that C++ exists.

I wasted a little more of my time than you did. I love a good rant, but this one seems to be all the sadness/depressing angst without the fun.

If its a scanned PDF (essentially a collection of 1 image per page), there would need to be an OCR step to get some text out first. Tesseract would work for this.

Once that's done, you have all the options available to perform that search. But I don't know of a search tool that does the OCR for you. I did read a blog post of someone uploading PDFs to google drive (they OCR them on upload) as an easy way to do this.

It had to have started there right? But I think this could also be valuable before hitting the peak.

But then again, unraveling a drunkenly produced chunk of LISP doesn't exactly sound fun either.
