Pngquant is a free, open source and cross-platform command-line lossy PNG compressor. It is based on a portable libimagequant library and is written in C99. It reduces the file size significantly by converting the PNG image to more efficient 8-bit PNG format and preserves full alpha transparency. As you may already know, 8-bit PNG files are often 60-80% smaller than 24/32-bit PNG files. The images compressed using Pngquant are fully-compatible with all web browsers and operating systems. Pngquant can compress one or multiple images at once.

JS is a most popular technology, and second most wanted technology on the market, according to Stack Overflow 2018 survey. NodeJS is all over backend job ads. React vs Angular is the new tabs vs spaces.
Here we have a gem. JavaScript’s author saying that JS was meant to be what BASIC was to C++ and that was the sales pitch for it. This post is not about technicalities of JS. It’s about how our pluralistic ignorance allowed toy language to first become de-facto language in the browser, then work it’s way to the server side and now being used for things such as console emulation and data science.
As the title indicates, I consider JS being popular a bad thing. To begin with, JS is a very bad language. The Wat talk does brilliant job of explaining what is wrong.

For research purposes, and to analyze the content of a Telegram channel, you may need the channel’s data in a clean JSON format.
Here there is a Python script to get data from Telegram channels. It has two main files: One for getting a member’s data from a channel, and second, to get the channel’s messages.
The script saves this data into JSON files; you can use them for analysis or to import into your databases.
