The problem is the non-linear conversion between sRGB values and actual displayed brightness. Some operations have physical equivalents (e.g. transparent overlays can be defined equivalently to viewing a background through colored glass). If they do and you use textbook physical models to implement them, you need to also use linear intensity values to get it right. A lot of code out there ignores this.
> anyway, I think the "correct" scaling is at the very least objectionable. from a numeric point of view, it whould mix in gray, but from a visual poin of view we do preceive the outer box as darker because non linearity in dislpay and perception.

I can barely perceive a brightness difference between the two areas. Meanwhile, scaling the gamma-encoded image results in a severely wrong result where the outside is far darker than the inside.
Uhm, A headline isn't misleading just because you assumed it was about something completely different, especially when there's a subheader to explain the article and a large picture of the subject matter.
That is odd to me. Food safety seems very important and who wants to be poisoned with a sore ass from the runs or vomiting? Weird. The bad thing is I have not been taught food safety but learned most of it by osmosis from various sources, but it should be taught.

I can understand that it is basically impossible to live separate from that sort of industry but that doesn't make it not nonsense. It's a very good scene (and a nice movie), but it doesn't change the fact that "fashion" is a moving target that exists for it's own sake. It's a signaling pathway that sprouted an enormous industry on it's back.
Well, no browser has correctly implemented tables since ever, why should they bother about colors?

This is a bit of a silly way to look at it, I'm sorry to say.

What if they just remove the video on the balance of probability that it involved, in the FAA's judgement, a deliberate dangerous plane crash without permission?

This is not a challenging precedent. House-flipping is not smashing a plane into the ground without planning and without regard for safety, is it?
Yeah, it looks to me like another source that tries to make some style a thing. Like the neumorphism which seemed to be most popular on sites with mock-up designs rather than in actual implementations. I've yet to see either that or neobrutalism in the wild.
The correct assertion would be: as time passes, the probability developes wanting to change UI to get bonuses increases monotonically.

Well... color is physics though. Three spectra that our eye are sensitive to span a vector space dual to the space of all light spectra [1]. That space naturally has a linear structure. You can have twice as much light of one color or the other, and you can add the light of different colors.

So there _is_ a natural interpretation of linear interpolation between two colors in physics. Concretely: Imagine two lamps with the two colors and the same brightness. You start with one fully turned up and the other fully turned down. Then you increase the one while you turn down the other keeping the brightness constant.
This is a misnormer though. Secure Boot and kernel modules are not inherently dependent on each other. However modern Linux distribution carry out-of-tree patches which throws the Secure Boot keys into the Linux platform keyring and enforce lockdown mode.

This isn't a thing on the stock kernel.
IMO, These changes does not look that simple.
I think you overestimate how much youtube pays per view.
> "People simply get bored with how their apps and websites look after six to seven years. They need a change"

Real world objects rarely change design because of the costs involved. When they do, the change needs to justify that cost. For example, I'm not going to change the buttons on my microwave because I'm "bored" with them. The costs of changing software design is far less impractical and expensive, and therefore isn't driven by the same high level of justification.

I strongly suspect then, there are two reasons for these design changes we see every couple of years in software:

The first is easy, and most of us probably already agree; designers gotta design. They have to justify their salary _somehow_.

The second is more philosophical. The west — and especially the U.S.A. — looks to alleviate existential crisis with distractions. Shiny new toys keeps us from having to face uncomfortable truths about the nature of reality (if you're not religious).

Responding to this from an entirely egocentric place is just going to make the problem worse. Why not approach such things with compassion; at least you may get somewhere with this person. It is hard to make diverse friends if you cannot do so.
"10 year old hardware" is retro ? Ivy Bridge is retro these days?

This hardware is not just usable, it is _perfectly usable_, up to the point you'd barely distinguish it Gnome-performance-wise from something from last year if you pair with an SSD (which is not so strange).

This is not a 486 with 4megs of RAM that requires a special DE. These are machines with many gigs of RAM that have graphic cards which are still better than some of today's low-end cards. If any change like this is ever accepted, drawing the support line at "10 year old hardware", it's going to be hard to ever again claim that Linux is good for the environment.
Perhaps they would remove it if they are concerned their platform could be incentivizing wrong, dangerous or stupid behavior and they worry about the brand damage that does or have ethical problems profiting off that.
Many jurisdictions have ways to seize profits of crime, and just about all have ways to punish crime including paying fines and restitution.

Don't you think it would be better to go through a system which has (at least a semblance of) due process, fairness, and transparency about the rules? Yes yes I know I know, "they're a private company they can do what they want". I'm not wondering what they can do, more flabbergasted about the apparent sudden and large support for corporations acting to censor and punish people like this.
I believe that we are still in a very long transition period.

The journey from apreciation of devine beauty towards apreciation of natural beauty passes through the stage of nihilism.
It's a classic formula: A diversity of sources, and learned experience at understanding who lies, about what, and how much. The "truth" is something you must compose and maintain from multiple sources on a regular basis.
Modern software development is now caught in an influx of fresh developers/designers, which leads to "best practices" and libraries appealing to less experienced and less competent workers, which in turn change the processes everyone uses.

In design that means designers converging on some simple to reproduce esthetic like this, which becomes familiar to users, and then ironically becomes popular because of its familiarity. That is, until a few years pass, and a new fad has to surface.

I'm predicting Art-Deco in web design within 10 years at this pace.

They could also try to seek government funding. EU and other non-US countries should have an interest in there being a browser that is not beholden to a US for-profit corporation.
But after that, there is no more gasoline left for burning.
SVG gradient is specified to do the interpolation in sRGB space by default. However officially SVG 1.1 supports interpolation in linear colorspace, but no browser implements it AFAIK.

https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#ColorInterpolation...

edit: An other mode of interpolation that is missing even from the spec is using premultiplied alpha. It would be essential to correctly render upscaled transparent raster images, where you don't want to see the "color" of the fully transparent pixels to leak through when it gets interpolated with a neighboring opaque pixel.
Somewhat lucky that in the UK it's no less tax efficient to sell straight away, which is what I always do.

Reminded me of the recent https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31047715
Gradients are design tools. The gradient interpolation function can be designed around some physical mixing hypothesis but there is no first principles rule as such.

Focusing on the luminosity is only half of the battle.

For nice looking gradients that are pleasing to design with, generally for aesthetic reasons you also want the perceived color saturation to be interpolated in a predictable way.

For reference, here is a nice example of an approach to find a nice looking mixing function:

As an addendum a good way to visualize gradients of equal perceived brightness is to use an Hue Chroma Luminance (perceived brightness) picker like http://tristen.ca/hcl-picker/

As you can see, preserving luminance means you get a restricted range of gradients to choose from.

If you ignore linear/non-comparison algorithms like radix or bucketsort. Those are much harder to optimize to your particular problem but should result in significantly lower run times when properly adapted.
HN has had the same design for 15 years now.
I noticed some extreme weirdness with the "correct scaling" example.
For me (Firefox on Linux using LCD displays) , it looks different depending on which monitor I'm using - on one, the outer part of the gray square looks like there are yellow dots, while on the other monitor, it flickers, but only while the image is over a particular place on the physical monitor (this happens with other images where adjacent pixels frequently have a large difference in color).

Also, the apparent color changes depending on the zoom level - at anything other than 100% zoom, the effects described above disappear and the outer square appears darker than the inner one (although not uniformly). This may be linked to the bug that causes the browser to scale the image incorrectly.
Well done shoehorning all of that in.
It's not artificial. Different regions have different licensing. You could find Big Bang Theory in other regions, for example, which is only on HBO here in the US. It's not like Netflix can just post it.
One website which seems to be somewhat inbetween "bad design" and neobrutalism is the dutch retailer kruidvat: https://www.kruidvat.nl/
I don't think this is the best approach. There are two independent things in a gradient - the colors to interpolate between and the interpolation path - and I would not tie them together. If I specify the same colors just using different color models, then I still want the same gradient unless I explicitly demand different interpolation paths. You would not want that interpolating between 0 and 42 yields a different result than interpolating between 0x00 and 0x2A, would you?

My ad hoc expectation would be that I get a linear interpolation of perceived brightness, saturation, and color independent of how I specified the color to interpolate. Or maybe even better a path of minimal perceived color difference with uniform perceived color difference along the path which is probably at least slightly different from interpolating brightness, saturation, and color independently.
Looking more at his website, he worked his whole life in a pretty narrow scope - military RTOS systems, and he extrapolates his experience on everything.

This happens relatively often for an experts in a one field. They extrapolate and make foolish statements on a entirely different field. Vaccine science is a very good example...

The main thing would be to never trust a single source all the time, and question everything, no matter how much I agree or disagree with it. The process of analyzing how credible information is and how it came to be is oftentimes more advantageous than simply finding credible information

I try different search terms for the same topic. Differences between the articles presented help in finding areas of disagreement that can be explored further.

When I find a result that seems interesting, I search for the opposite to find opposing point, and ask which one seems more reasonable. I try to allow any stance to be changed as long as I manage to find anything more reasonable than what I had thought.

I search for different categories of media: articles, videos, podcasts, forums/comments so that regardless of the creator's preferred media platform for delivery, I can look at it. Longform videos are oftentimes helpful because they go into a topic further and it is easier to find more points that can be investigated further. Many books are not online and can be an equally good resource.

I go to the sources linked in the article. Sometimes, I use the time or location search filter to find what the search engine suggests for different locations and geographies.

When I come across something that seems outlandish, even over Group Messaging or comments sections, I search for those even if I know it is wrong because there is oftentimes something to be learned in how it became a prevailing view for some or many.

Of course, this is for online information only. Information you get offline is as important and in many cases more important.
Again, a common knowledge, including the above mentioned Wikipedia article. Good for you if that was not your experience :)
I understand why this stuff usually bothers people but I think this makes for Fedora specifically... they're popular and bleeding-edge, so they want to work on the latest popular hardware and not cater to minorities. If a hacker needs different, there's other distros and DIY, if a company needs different then they can just invest in maintenance of that themselves. Yeah, EFI sucks bad and we should be working to replace it with something that's free/open and actually good but this is the environment we're actually operate in and being in denial of that doesn't help anyone.
IMO gradients are not based on physics any more than selecting a smoothing curve in animation is. They are design tools - even though physics can be used to analyze them.

I say this as a software engineer with a MSc in physics and a computer graphics/traditional graphics afficinado :) - not to boast with my eminence as that would be silly on this site but just that I've given a long and hard thought on this matter over the years.
My main trick is simply to know a lot of really smart people in various fields.
in that case, why it is called 'brutalism' instead of 'brutism' ? I'm not implying you are wrong, but probably it's the reason of confusion:

* brutal - brutalism

* brut - brutism
In a book by another French author Rene Girard, it is implied that the above lines of thought are insidious forms of nihilism, for:

Why work for actual success when you can fake it? Etc. Yes. Virtue signaling is a debasement of the currency.

Well, as it turns out, Girards entire oeuvre can be said to be advocating for that ineffective strategy of adopting extreme positions.. (eg if you think that dying on the cross was very ineffective for J. Christ)
This is the first time I ever hear about it, to be honest. Is there a link to something like OP but for tables?
What did you enter as the "thing you did".
Keeping aside the browser issue (which is already a quite interesting issue)... The correct scaling double square is already an issue with my eyes:

Mixing black and white dots to produce a grey was a pretty common trick when we did not have enough colors in our computers decades ago. But when I step back to lose the perception of the texture, why do I still see a very different grey than the center-grey with the same overall brightness?

I can't even say which one is brighter/darker (my answer changes when I look with a different mindset).
Colour is definitely a complex thing. My friend who is a graphic designer prefers to use Firefox over Chrome on MacOS because it renders “nicer” colours - being somewhat colourblind, I had never noticed, but indeed there is a subtle difference between how the same hex colour code renders in both, according to DigitalColorMeter…
Actually I do not understand which is the problem of Fedora in this case.

The distribution needs to do almost nothing to support either EFI or the legacy BIOS or any other booting method.

That is the job of a bootloader package, not of the Linux distribution. For example I am using syslinux as the bootloader for all my computers, while grub is another example of a frequently used bootloader (but which seems to be excessively complex in comparison with syslinux).

I assume that by supporting only EFI Fedora means that they will remove all bootloaders from their installation image, so that the Linux kernel will be launched by its EFI stub.

I do not know about other bootloaders, but an installed syslinux package occupies only a few megabytes, maybe 10 megabytes at most, so deleting it cannot provide much space for anything else.

I cannot see how deleting a bootloader package may be claimed to be a significant simplification for the maintenance effort of the Fedora distribution.
I solve this with ImportJSON.gs and/or Atlassian’s native integration for sheets.

I wouldn’t encourage anyone to buy a tool just to make a single type of chart, even less if it is a for-pay SaaS wedge.

Spreadsheets are over-used and I’m not sure meeting users where they are works in this case. Hasn’t paid off (in my experience) with anything more than additional layers.

You do this all the time when you take your kids for a drive, on a plane, outside, when you feed them, etc. Hell in your supermarket example, someone inside the store could just kill them there after you dropped them off.

While it's true that a LAB gradient will produce a more perceptually uniform gradient, it doesn't alter the article's point that sRGB isn't a colorspace. It has an associated nonlinear gamma function that is used to help compress values to 8-bit, and the result is that interpolating between two sRGB values is not the same as interpolating between them in a proper RGB colorspace, with the result that you'll get brightness problems.

So yes, LAB will produce more perceptually uniform gradients than RGB, but browsers are exacerbating the problems of RGB gradients by not implementing them properly.
ExFAT is not supported by EFI.
Gumroad's design is an utter monstrosity that intentionally pulls attention away from the products people are selling to the chrome of the marketplace. It's the Gumroad designers saying look at us we're special while giving a big fuck you to their customers who now have to fight for attention with the UI of the web store they're selling on. There's also nothing brutalist about this style - it's a lift from the zine inspired style that was popular in late 90s design magazines.
