Is there an online dictionary listing words spelled in reverse?
You can do it on the command line: rev /usr/share/dict/words | sort | rev > reverse-dict. (I had to install a package to provides the words file; I chose wamerican which is ~1MB.)

A word for a value between 0 and 1 (inclusive)
I just ran into OP's situation yesterday and without thinking about it too much, I used "Normalized" (e.g. costNormalized, chanceNormalized). "Normalized" per se is too general a term, but when numbers are normalized in practice, it's usually to a 0-1 scale. I don't know if that'll meet ANSI standards or anything, but it was clear enough for my script.

What is the synonym of "pixel pusher" for programmers?
Yes? That's how I read “pixel pusher.”

Correct punctuation to separate the elements of this sentence
It depends on how those clauses are related. Is it attached under a fast evaluation? Or does it return under a fast evaluation? Without more context (or programming knowledge), we don't know.

Why is "Off you go" correct?
It's a different way of saying “You go off.” You could also say “Up you climb” for “You climb up” or “Here I am” for “I am here.” I'm sure there's a name for putting the preposition in the front like that. Hopefully another user knows it.

Oops, I slightly misread the sentence. I have updated the answer to reflect your actual question.

@user3608985 No, as stated it means that he's been using it all along. As I guess it was intended, it means that he used it a long time ago and hasn't used it since. I don't see it implying that he has used it again recently.

Is there a word meaning "of or like the squid"?
@SvenYargs Why teuthoideal rather than teuthoidean or another suffix? Is there a rule governing that formation?

Do you use "going to present" or "will present"? -The Future
Agreed. Going to does imply planning, but that's already clear from context (describing the plan for the speech). Will describes a certainty, which I would take in this context as strong confidence in the plan.
