To create resolution-independent files for artwork, we can once more export from drawing apps like Adobe Illustrator directly into SVG graphics. While some artwork will always need to be raster based, you’d be surprised by how much of the ink-based digital comics art already being produced can be expressed as vector artwork. By making some changes to the artwork creation and production process, artists and production specialists can generate much more versatile, optimized assets for building comics.

I have been working with Illustrator as my main medium since 2000. I have, in fact, done comics in Illustrator.

My experience is that anything complicated enough to be a decent comics page is bigger as an SVG than as a bitmap. Somewhere around 200-300 DPI is when it usually starts to break even in my experience. With really complicated pages, it’s worse. A fully painted page is going to be chock full of bitmap effects and stuff that SVG has no clue how to store compactly.

Also holy crap I do not want to start laying my panels out with CSS and doing my type with HTML. No, just no, it’s a visual composition process and I do not want to start wasting my time typing numbers. The idea of a responsive layout is noble but about five people are going to try doing this, ever, unless these concepts can be wrapped up in an easy-to-use visual editor, probably one that feeds into a comics hosting site. And that flash of all the word balloons without the images in the demo comic is definitely a glitch that needs fixing, as is the fact that every page has a header I have to scroll past - this is an error so many people doing Web Comics perpetuate from ComicPress. Maybe someone here will want to help write that editor and build that hosting site and maybe it’ll do well enough to compete with Webtoons, but I’m not holding my breath.

I will also note that this discusses “infinite canvas” ideas near the beginning. I spent four years doing a horizontally scrolling infinite canvas story and the main response I got was people complaining that their fucking mouse scroll wheel doesn’t work and that it’s hard to scroll stuff horizontally. Seriously it got brought up again recently and the only comment I got was someone calling it a “UX nightmare” because it was slightly too tall for the viewport of whatever they were using and they couldn’t figure out how to scroll properly. And then sites like Webtoon came out and made everyone want stuff on a phone to be vertically scrolling single panels. Nobody wants to scroll in any direction but vertically any more. It’d be hilarious if I hadn’t spent four years of my life on a horizontally-scrolling comic.
The XDR Display did get upgraded — you can now attach your iPhone to it and use it as an external camera for Zoom. Amazing! (The XDR-specific mount will be $249, and you will say thank you.) /s

There's a lot more luck though involved in certain fields. In modern biology it's not really possible to have a "prodigy" career trajectory IMO - studies cost too much time and money for even the best 3rd year PhD student to be shocking the world and churning out dozens of pubs.

And there is a need for many "normal" people to contribute to research in the field too, because a solid part of the equation is sheer man hours. I get being jaded, and I also don't know what field you were in, but regardless I think it's a bit too pessimistic to assume that only prodigies can meaningfully contribute to research.

Isnt this a bit reductive? The other side of the fence is “How would an independent SRE org be able to fund/influence/prioritize inside the product org.” And Im pretty sure the answer there is

> A dedicated model can't work unless the company leadership wants to make it work. Product reliability and performance is not something anyone can fix, no matter how good, unless the management is willing to listen, and continue to listen and prioritize appropriately.

So you have the same answer, incentives and top down buy in. And if you have incentives at management layers, and top down buy in, then youve solved the root people + business problem. And now how/why do you choose between options?

Better than typing with an on-keyboard screen. Here's looking at you, MBP13".
My desktop PC has an AMD Athlon II X2 260, which was released in 2010, although I don't remember when I got it. I think I upgraded the CPU/motherboard/RAM and kept the rest. I do have some modern components though, like a cheap mechanical keyboard I got a couple of years ago, and I replaced the monitor at some point because the old one stopped working (and I wasn't able to fix it). Installing a ~120GB SSD was a big win too. I use this PC all the time, I'm not much of a phone user (and my phone is similarly obsolete). I keep the software up-to-date, and currently use MX Linux.

Occasionally, I take a look at refurbished computers on eBay or whereever, and find systems with CPUs that are 2 or 3 times faster for a couple of hundred dollars, but it doesn't really seem worth it.
Don't forget that AppleCare and repairs (e.g., battery replacements) are cheaper for MBAs than MBPs.

From Apple:

> Combine two controllers into one whenever you need support during a game. Link two wireless game controllers to drive a single player and get to the next level while playing your favorite games on iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

First, did you really need to post this comment when you could have just pressed the "+" button to learn more?

Second, what are you consuming on a daily basis that has you seeing basic feature copy as a litmus test on society's tolerance of "political correctness"? Whatever it is, I suggest consuming less of it. Buddy Controller is a more accurate term here because it can assist parents and caregivers (along with couples, friends, etc).

You can consider the tower rule for intuition on why this can be true:

E[X] = E[E[X|Y]]

Essentially, what's happening is that, in E[X|Y], we first "hold" the randomness of Y, then consider the expected value of X for every possible value of Y. Once this is determined, we then take the expectation over all values of Y, which integrates out its effects, leaving us with the expected value of X.

This rule is similar, and arises from the tower rule above.

Definitely, A friend had a place on the Seibu Ikebukuro line, 20 mins from Ikebukuro, 3 bed, 2 bath, 3 story duplex for $1k. Similarly 20 mins from Ikebukuro on Saikyo line 3 bed, 1 bath apartment for $1k. In both cases though it was 20 mins by express.

I wouldn't consider those close to downtown though. If you're into night life downtown and you want to go home at 3am it will cost $100 to get home (though I guess with the money you saved on rent you can do that every weekend and you're still ahead! :P )
I'm still using my i7 860 with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 that I built in 2010. I've replaced hard drives over the years. My current boot drive is a Samsung 860 SSD. Everything else is original including my 4GB DDR3 1600x RAM, 700W PSU,Gigabyte GA-P55A motherboard and Samsung 24" 1920x1200 monitor. I started with Windows 7 Pro, and upgraded to Windows 10. Obviously, the machine is not Windows 11 compatible.

I mainly use the machine for web browsing, light gaming, office software, and hobby programming. I used it as a media server with TV capture cards (cards are still in it) for years until I recently bought a Synology NAS that now hosts my Plex server. The machine has been running 24/7 outside of power outages and occasional periods no one was at home.

It's started having problems with Windows updates causing it to enter a BSOD boot loop. I've had to reinstall the OS a few times and disable automatic updates. I figure my hardware combination is the culprit.

I keep starting the process to replace it with modern hardware but never follow through. I don't know why it's taking me so long to replace it, since I'm not strapped for cash. I think it boils down to that I just don't "need" something better.

> Isnt this a bit reductive? The other side of the fence is “How would an independent SRE org be able to fund/influence/prioritize inside the product org.” And Im pretty sure the answer there is

No, the answer is that the SRE org is unilaterally able to stop supporting the product/implement a production freeze if the product org is not doing enough reliability work (or falls out of SLO, or whatever). That's literally the trick, you take the ability to deploy out of the product org's hands and put it into the hands of an organization whose job is reliability, and whose management up to the VP level will back them up on that!

It is far easier to have an organization with the incentive "reliability" and an organization with the incentive "features" and have senior management deal with conflicts when they arise, than to have every middle manager try to correctly split their prioritization in the correct way.
Ironically, Apple's memory controllers are also "not good enough" to compete with Intel's offerings from 3 years ago. It's a real Mexican-stand-off situation here.

There's more to comparing computers than just CPU benchmarks. Benchmarks can be manipulated. Raw CPU only matters when your workload involves lots of CPU work. (And, if it does, maybe a desktop is a better choice.)

But, more importantly, it's like comparing two cars based on horsepower when in practice both will get you to the same place, on the same road, at the same time.

Multi core uplift will be a bit more than single core, because the “little” cores improved more than the big ones. 18% multi core uplift, but only 12-15% single core. Weak cores might have increased by 25% or so but they’re still much slower than the big cores so don’t affect “single core” performance.

Any OTP can be phished. There is no automatic authentication that the OTP is being given to the correct party.

A public/private key alone would have a similar issue, but the browser for FIDO keys gives the domain it's actually talking to. The domain is authenticated with TLS or the browser on an uncompromised machine won't send that domain over. The device only signs the challenge with the private key generated for that specific domain.

This comment, seems to misunderstand how Machine Learning actually works. If you want to limit to "neural networks" specifically then your comment would be more in line, but there are almost no lenders requiring exclusively on neural networks for their credit decisions.

I have ASUS Asus G75VW i7 based gaming laptop from 2012 with 32GB RAM. Originally it was my software development laptop. Now it runs some dedicated heavy software yet still feels very fluid. I clone the SSD every once in a while using EASEUS backup and have disconnected it from the Internet in order not to ruin perfect setup by some friggin update from ASUS / Microsoft. Nothing ever broke on it (well I did change SSD to a modern higher capacity one at some point)
How much Touchbar inventory can they possibly have? And unlike the SE, which some people purchase because they like the form factor and low price, I feel like the only people who get a 13" MBP are uninformed about how it stacks up against the MBA.

I wanted to get a revamped MBP, but after seeing the horrendous stats (2 ports, no MagSafe, no SD/HDMI!) it was a no-brainer to get in line for the MBA, which is cheaper, lighter, and has more ports and a better camera.
Also I think the fundamental unit of a graphic novel as presented on the web should be one chapter per url rather than one page per url. Or just one URL for the whole story if it’s short. I just finished an 11p short story and it’s at a single URL on my site, not 11. Webtoons gets this right even as it forces everything into a phone-first layout that looks terrible and huge on other screens. It’s fine to scroll by a header once when you’re gonna read the equivalent of 4-12 pages in one go. Terrible to scroll by a header every time you turn the page.

My friends who work at Ford all report a general feeling of being over the dealership. They’re just as sick of the dealer shenanigans as we consumers are and it sounds like they’re working hard on cutting them out. This didn’t have to be—but the dealers insisted on being scummy and not changing with the times and now they’re left friendless.

This seems to be a case of genuine irony: Sega CD might have had some good titles but the value was never there, even more so with 32x. But we can't get Sega systems anymore and retro games are cool anyway. And I'm guessing we won't have to worry about the load times of course. So all of a sudden these systems become cool again.

For me, the system always seemed like a waste of money for my friend that had it. Sewer shark and night trap weren't exactly great games. So I guess I never had to regret the purchase. I'm excited about the games that aren't fmv based though.
> I strongly oppose organizations that have SRE separate from Software Engineers

Can confirm, we have an SRE team that's totally separate from engineering and it's a huge and constant bottleneck. We've literally re-architected parts of the application to avoid having to go through SRE for things.
It's seen Windows XP, Vista, 7, Ubuntu 18, Ubuntu 20, Kubuntu 20, Windows 10 (Education) and then Arch.

Many people have already been doing just that for years albeit with Infinity Blade. Anyone with a free developer account can sign and sideload 3 apps while those with a paid one can sign an unlimited number of apps.

This might be a more pessimistic reading, but from what I can glean, Apple added a warning toggle and app code requirement to the sideloading and signing process. That's it. Nothing presented here indicates the lifting of any previous restrictions or the addition of any new features like on-device app-signing/compiling, now or in the future. If anything, this "Developer Mode" is another layer of soft lockout to those who wish to load jailbreaks or non-Appstore apps onto their phones. Those who don't know any better will think that Apple is capitulating, when the likelier scenario is that Apple is putting on a show to quell the complainers while quietly expanding its control.
As far as I know, you are free to add them back in whenever you want. Support is removed from the kernel when no one is around to maintain the feature. If a breaking change has to be made and no one steps up to implement it, the support gets dropped.
