#Tesseract was originally developed at #HewlettPackard Laboratories #Bristol #UK and at Hewlett-Packard Co, #Greeley Colorado USA between 1985 and 1994, with some more changes made in 1996 to port to Windows, and some C++izing in 1998. In 2005 Tesseract was open sourced by HP. From 2006 until November 2018 it was developed by #Google.

Major version 5 is the current stable version and started with release 5.0.0 on November 30, 2021. Newer minor versions and bugfix versions are available from GitHub.

To me, this is the type of thing a #Newb #programmer might or should investigate. That thing has been around for longer than you've been alive. And I was about ten years old when they came up with it.

How about them apples?

Programming Historian

My inaugural post on Mastodon is to promote the work found at programminghistorian.org. I wrote a piece for them some years ago, and their energetic staff went to the trouble of updating the examples therein from Python2 to Python3.

(This only recently came to my attention, and in reviewing the changes, I learned something: instead of importing numPy just to do `numpy.zeros((8,8))`, a list comprehension can do it: `[[0]*8 for x in range(8)]` )

This trivial revelation led me to look into some of the other tutorials at PH that have been published over the last few years. There's a lot of very useful stuff there!

Just discovered, all these years, a slight error in my #sonification tutorial at #programminghistorian ; a missing 'end' to close things off.
