Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.

exporting handwritten dataset as text, export it and use it as a csv
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Remarkable OCR is not up to these kinds of tasks unfortunately. If you know some coding you could write something that’d likely work well in Python using for ex. this for receiving the mail attachment and this for converting the PDF to CSV. This is in case you’d write your data as a table on the Remarkable, which I guess is preferable to writing something like (0.5, 8.4, -0.3). If you’d rather do it that way, there are other more suitable OCR tools like this one. The checkbox use-case in the comment above would also be possible by modifying this approach. DM if you’d like to discuss further work.

Show HN: I made a tool to convert images of tables to CSV
Looks like it's a bit in-progress: https://github.com/camelot-dev/camelot/pull/209
"Update docs" isn't checked, and that's what I was going on.

image-table-ocr - Turn images of tables into CSV data. Detect tables from images and run OCR on the cells.
csvkit - A suite of utilities for converting to and working with CSV, the king of tabular file formats.
PyPDF2 - A pure-python PDF library capable of splitting, merging, cropping, and transforming the pages of PDF files
tablib - Python Module for Tabular Datasets in XLS, CSV, JSON, YAML, &c.
PDFMiner - Python PDF Parser (Not actively maintained). Check out pdfminer.six.
pdftabextract - A set of tools for extracting tables from PDF files helping to do data mining on (OCR-processed) scanned documents.
