Imagine what colors devs would choose if instead of defining white as "the brightest thing any given monitor can spit out" they would just specifiy some absolute value in e.g. Lumen per mm² and the screen tries to actually reach or maintain that value.

The issue with color on screens is a bit like the loudness wars in audio mixing: everybody tries to use the available bitspace to the max, because this made some sense in the days of 16 bit (or lower) audio. Nowadays much more dynamic delivery would be possible (with dynamic reduction as a user preference), yet there is no real, well designed system for such things in place.
One interesting aspect of plagiarism is self-plagiarism which is often OK but sometimes not. Copy over some boilerplate description or background to a new document sure. Even write a book that's draws in part from published blog posts? Sure, as long as you have the copyright.

(I once wrote a book that was based in part on reworked blog posts from various places. When I submitted for Kindle, it got flagged. But I submitted some links and everything was OK.)

On the other hand, if someone commissions me to write an article on something, I generally speaking shouldn't reuse much directly from past articles.
You can not just tone down your backlight without having to measure the color profile of your monitor again. Which takes hours.

As I’ve said countless times before, we’ve got OS support for tonemapping HDR content onto SDR displays, now we need OS support for tonemapping SDR content onto shitty displays.
Like many of the other comments here you don't have to quit to sell. But you likely need to pre-announce. Usually the broker where your options are held knows how to set these up. You can mostly choose any sell strategy you want. I once set up a once a month sale across a year ahead of time to spread the risk out.

You do probably want to consult a lawyer who is working for you rather than the company to advise on this.
I guess you can try to contact the GitHub user directly, he's actually included detailed contact information.

100% agree !
So the 7 day rolling avg was being put out on the news, a 7 day rolling avg means the data lags by 7 days. Ergo, only once cases had spiked would the Govt react. This justifies their existence and actions, in a "I told you so" way.

Had they used a smaller rolling avg that corresponded to the minimum time it took for symptoms to appear ie 2days, the Govt could have reacted more quickly to the spikes, put people into lockdown more quickly, reduced the number of infections and deaths and then got back out of lockdown more quickly.

The Govt and medical experts have blood on their hands!

However it also turned out that essential workers were the main spreaders.
The Germans worked out within a few months it spread up to metres at 4 degrees C which is why Chilled Food processing factories got hit. It also survived on hard surfaces better than soft surfaces.

Now whilst the lockdowns were occurring, the Police were catching up with criminals they couldnt locate in the UK. By "fixing" people to a location they could carry out final surveillance to tie up the lose ends with investigations, before getting them. Alot of this was done especially in London.

The military knew everything the Govt was going to announce at least two weeks before it was announced and this was relayed down the chain of command with some stuff coming out during MOD phone in's when we got to listen to Chiefs of Staff and MP or two.

If you took the NHS Covid App, so this brought out into the public domain tech abilities that have until now remained possible but secret. It was also used to shut down businesses, anyone could say they had covid, report it on the NHS phone app and then that would trigger all those people in the vicinity to have to isolate. You could shut down corner shops at their peak times, which has racist elements to it, you could also shut down other businesses during peak time, by just loitering at peak like in shopping centres, then go home and then say to the NHS phone app you have tested positive. At no point were photo's demanded by the NHS phone app and yet the app would have known the phone had camera facilities. An AI could then process the photo and verify its authenticity. This wasnt done, the tech was used for malicious reasons and to bring out in public a higher level of surveillance.

Edit.
Should I also mention the Prime Minister was telling everyone to get onto Zoom for their meetings and then later on a zero click zero day exploit in Zoom surface which conveniently had given GCHQ enough time to hoover up data off plenty of systems. LOL

When will people wake up and realise the world is run by criminals?!?

there is a world of difference between someone that does the procedure 50-100x/year, vs someone that does it 2x/year.

Ahh, now I see where there might be confusion. Heat pumps that operate on electricity are increasingly common in the US. Most of them are air-to-air, but some are ground-source. What I'm claiming are rare-to-non-existent are residential heat pumps that operate directly off of natural gas, using an ammonia absorption process, with no electricity involved.

Arguably 'freemint' was saying that it's more efficient to generate electricity centrally using natural gas and then distribute this electricity to power heat pumps than to burn natural gas for heat at each site. Yes, likely. My surprise was that I thought he was claiming that non-electric natural gas powered heat pumps were currently available to residential consumers. I knew this style exists (see the link I gave above) but I've never seen one in operation.

Tbh, the election app is hardly better than using it in the browser. The browser version is better in some ways. It works on electron and now supports media keys.
No, it sounds like it is more complicated than that.
As the parent said, plagiarism has very little to do with copyright or legalities. If a human essay farm assigns the copyright of what they've written to you--which is very common in a work for hire situation--it's still cheating in the eyes of pretty much any school.

ADDED: There is a degree of I know cheating when I see it. But, absent specific instructions to the contrary, spell checkers and grammar checkers/recommenders seem to fall pretty clearly into the assistive tools category whereas GPT-3 does not.
> Everything¹ can be brighter than a screen if you just shine enough light onto it.

I should have mentioned that I was thinking of a sheet of paper in the same room / with the same lightning, next to the screen we are speaking about. Otherwise, yes, indeed.

> why not just support different contrast levels

So what I understand from this is that we can't get this right (in HTML/CSS) for now because we don't have details about the environment of the user wrt lighting/contrast (preferences/perception).

It seems like something that should be fixed at the browser or the OS level. One should be able to say: "this is some black text on white background that needs to be displayed so as to be comfortable for the user given their environment" (or something). Maybe that needs to be the default by the way.

Until then, any forced value is going to suck for someone.
That would be strategic idiocy for almost everyone involved. The problem of NATO is primarily that decisions aren't coordinated and hot heads lead the charge.

If you can make a phone I love as much as my Pebbles, I'll buy nothing else, forever. I guess confirming there's a market for it is the first step.

My phone requirements haven't changed much in the last ten years. I bought one of the first "phablet" phones with a comically oversized 5" screen that got me ribbed by friends ("compensating for something eh mate?") Now 5" is at the bottom of the available size range. I'm a smallish person/manlet and don't need a phone I'm going to drop, but I do need something big enough that I can reliably type on it.

I'll gladly support your endeavor. Thanks for taking the initiative.

edit: fine with me to make the phone thicc so it has a day+ battery life. A little thicker is far easier to hold on to, anyway!

edit2: I did own a Pixel 6 non-XL for about a day. It was large, but the bigger problem was that I found it incredibly topheavy, which made it difficult to hold on to. I swapped for a used 4a 5G, which is a well-balanced midsized device.
I no longer work in the field, but I've always been incredibly impressed by the innovative methods that Steven Boxer uses in enzyme spectroscopy.
Something else that would provoke some thought is what kind of returns do these subsidies get in terms of energy delivered?
To get the full picture would require the inclusion of grands for r&d, governmental human resources and capital allocation, and perhaps more importantly the cost incurred by large investors both private and public shifting from clearly profitable investment in traditional energy sources to questionable or even outright improbable mageprojects only because of a clear and persistent signal from governments that profitable investments in fossil fuels will be punished in the near future.

People don't seem to get it but we are spending our pension funds and taxes into various scams. This has already started to bite our asses here in europe and there's still no sign of this insanity ending. At least if public dialogue was honest and grounded in reality we could spend all that money in researching a solution that actually works economically.
DJay was incredible with that integration. It seems we are constantly regressing.
Maybe if someone comes along to write one or we get a multi-backend shader compiler so it doesn't explode the number of shaders we have to write and optimize.

But honestly, it doesn't matter. Apple just shipped a new OpenGL for M systems and every major browser is using GL more than ever. It's not going anywhere. And even if it did, we have a Vulkan backend that can target MoltenVK as well as Mesa's Zink already supporting at least OpenGL 4.6 which could also be run on MoltenVK with very little overhead.
You can simply not store any IP addresses whatsoever, or anonymise them. Current privacy laws have provisions for it.

It's not only about which data goes trough your system. It's about what you do with it.

When I go to my friend's house they also see my face and hear my voice, but they don't record it. That's an important distinction when it comes to privacy.

Very good observation. That's a reason I'm itching to try out an approach akin to this (in a future project): https://jasonstitt.com/gitignore-whitelisting-patterns
Stations had a super-simple UI. You just start the app and the music starts. Only a single swipe was needed to change the station. It was perfect, especially in the car.

The Spotify app is a mess. My stations are supposed to be in there, but I haven't found them yet. If I just want to play one of my playlists (and it's not in 'recently played'), I need to go to 'My Library', filter for playlists and then find it in the list. Beside 'recently played' the home screen is filled with stuff I don't care about.
Yes, but unlike screw-on cameras, the process here takes out the original lens, so you expose the bare sensor to whatever glass you will add later on.

C/CS/D mount are screw-on, they are also completely manual, so you lose software control over focus and other things, and you need to rotate rings in the lens itself to adjust.
Or you could give up the subsidy Amazon provided by seeing ads and then ads are gone permanently.
Ha ha, Discord. You can map things like mute to joystick buttons, but the lazy devs/people couldn't be bothered to enumerate the device ID along with the button number.

So if you have multiple USB controllers, the assigned button number on every single one of them will send the toggle mute signal.

Meanwhile we get the Party mode like you mentioned; cute typing games with overlays telling us how many key presses we managed to string together without pause..
I've seen far more failed certificate renewal failures than DNSSEC failures from the same teams you appear to be suggesting are perfect and the standard is flawed.
I don't really understand how this approach would work well with IDEs/autocompletion though.

For example, suppose I'm writing some mocked unit tests in Go and want to use mockgen to generate some mocks on an interface...

//go:generate mockgen (N.B. This generation is done by Bazel)

type Object interface {
Thing() string
}

Then I need to use the generated mocked type in my test:

mockThing := NewMockObject(ctrl)
mockThing.EXPECT().Thing().Return("Foo")

But NewMockObject doesn't exist as far as my IDE knows, because the generated code is only generated at build-time and only exists in the Bazel sandbox.

The code will compile and run successfully, but the developer experience is terrible because you lose the ability to use your IDE's code lens, syntax checks, autocompletion. Everything that's generated shows a red squiggly this-doesnt-exist line.

Maybe I'm just fundamentally misunderstanding how Bazel is supposed to be used. My setup is pretty typical. I develop in VS Code, and build using Bazel, but I do not allow Bazel to automate code generation because the generated sources do not appear in my local environment - just in the bazel sandbox.

Maybe someone can suggest a better approach?

Random thought from a Texan who is a resident of Germany, but still only a US citizen (and one who votes in Texas, because that was my last US residence): how’s that going to work if one of my cousins posts something Nazi-adjacent enough on Facebook that Germany’s well-known (but apparently not well-known enough) law against publishing Nazi-supporting materials kicks in, which obliges Facebook and other services to block said posts being displayed to users in Germany, even if those users are not Germans, but Americans?

iPhone 8/se is the same size as a mini isn't it? Just smaller screen. Personally 5" screen size is one hand usable for me. It's. Little stretch for one corner but otherwise it's fine.

Perhaps he is a fan of Star Trek? I guess Paramount will draw quite a few viewers with that IP alone, especially with the start of a new series. Perhaps the investment isn't long term, but it looks like it would make sense.
Better than the ones those systems already have? I assume they’ve already got some AI, because without AI, “minute” and “minute” get pronounced the same way because there’s no contextual clue to which instance is the unit of time and which is a fancy way of describing something as very small.

Maybe that's to compensate for low contrast content?

NLP is a vast field nowadays, you can solve a research problem with a novel transformer architecture (for example) without knowing anything about linguistics. The thing is that NLP is a vast field and there is plenty room to go around (same goes for vision, you don't really need classical vision background as much as you used to).

(also an NLP researcher. Knows nothing about linguistics)
