Possibly different subpixel antialiasing and hinting settings in the SVG renderer and for text outside of SVG elements.

My hunch is that subpixel antialiasing and hinting is disabled for SVG elements. As withing SVG images you typically have some amount of vector graphics surrounding a few text elements, it could probably also look off if it was applied to the text parts of the image, but other shapes would be unaltered.

Technically you could trivially apply subpixel antialiasing for all kind of shapes within the SVG image. Possibly it's even possible to apply some hinting at limited scenarios (horizontal and vertical lines). I don't think any browser SVG renderer does any of this.

edit:

I tested this now with Edge on Windows, and I get subpixel antialiasing for both within and outside SVG. So maybe this theory does not hold up.

I do not get a pixel-perfect match however, but that could be because of subtle subpixel positioning of the text itself.

What problem does migrating to a new architecture solve? Does the current deployment have scaling, maintenance, or other troubles? Going from something that's broken to something that works is one thing, but going from something that works to something else that works is pointless unless there are tangible benefits.

If the only reason is to make the Cloud Architect feel better or pad people's resumes, the correct answer is no.
I have the opposite problem with many technical support teams these days. I supply them with a full breakdown of what error I encountered, the reproduction code/commands/data, my configuration, what I think happened, how I tested for that, alternative explanations I came up with and tried, traces, trace markers, vendor-standard dumps, and a call to action of the next piece of information I need (usually an explanation of what is exactly happening inside a specific function call that the trace doesn't reveal). I did what I dreamed of receiving when I fielded technical calls back in the day but never did, and am trying to follow all the vendors' own support guidelines of what they want to save everyone time.

There are so many offshore teams these days that I wonder whether the volume of what I supply in my support tickets overwhelms the English as a second language support engineers' total comprehension abilities, between the combined English-to-native language parsing and internalization of the case details itself. About 9 out of 10 times now when I reach offshore engineers, there are responses with blatant signals they simply did not read through even a third of what I painstakingly put together. With English native speakers, it is closer to 1-5% depending upon the vendor.

No shade to the offshore teams, but it adds an unnecessary debugging cycle for them, I suspect they're under insane metrics to uphold incentivizing this behavior and I just politely point out where I already gave them the information they're requesting. Most of the time they simply escalate the case straight towards the development team.
A more nuanced description is that in most cases, it was slower, and it took immense developer effort to even try to make it faster. And the cases that were accelerated were generally things that consumers didn’t care much about, e.g. fluid dynamics.

The software is the clear winner of that. The team was fantastic, and one of them (John Ratcliff) helped kickstart my career. So it isn’t entirely off base to say that the PPU was… exaggerated.
> is the extra layer of indirection in any discipline when things are named after people and not the thing’s characteristics.

"Eigen" in German has same English root as "own": "Eigenvalue" is Germanglish for "Own/inherent value", so meets your spec of naming a thing after its characteristics, as long as "naming" is allowed to be in multiple languages.

No. The US does NOT consider Taiwan part of China. The US acknowledges China's position that it believes Taiwan is part of China.

This is like saying "i accept that you think the sky is neon yellow".
A common language fosters research and common understanding.

In IT, that language is English. In diplomacy, before interpreters were plentiful, that language was French. And in many classical, medieval-era sciences, that language was Latin (as a commonly-understood language that came from it's ease of being learned by romance-language speakers and being rather relevant in the (then church-run) universities).

So, there's no indirection intended. It's just an artefact of the past - an artefact that helps Chinese, Spanish and American doctors communicate (in broad strokes) even today.

It's worth noting that whilst the present migration is still in process, the magnitude is approximately 1/5 of extant profiles. That's more Academic than AOL scale. (1 million new profiles on a base of about 5 million.) Based on past history, perhaps 20% will remain, though how many of the extant profiles themselves are active I'm not sure (I suspect probably also ~20%, which means it all washes out).

At the time of the September that Never Ended, Usenet was ~1m total users (based on data from John Quarterman's The Matrix (1990) citing DEC researcher Brian Reid, which I've referenced in earlier HN comments). I believe AOL at the time was at least of an equivalent magnitude, if not several times this.
> when you take into consideration that approximately 100% of motorists also run through almost all stop signs

Source, please. I live in an area where most people do this, but definitely nowhere close to 100% (not even "approximately" - maybe 80%).

It's definitely inconsistent to both roll through stop signs and get mad at bicyclists, but that doesn't apply to those of us that actually follow traffic laws. (although, I get far more upset over motorists breaking traffic laws than bicyclists, with exceptions for the rare cases where bicyclists do risky things around me driving)

It means the eigenvalues will only give you information about the system relatively to the center of that system.

Before describing any system, it's up to you (your "convention") to assert where is the zero-point of your world and in which directions the axes (x,y,z) are pointing.

For instance, in the real world you can choose your 3D coordinate system such that your mirror, as a physical system, keeps the origin untouched (0,0,0) -> (0,0,0). If you decide the origin is a point on the mirror, the equations will be linear: mirror(X) = AX. However if you setup the origin some point far from the mirror, like the center of your eyes, the equations are no longer linear, but affine: mirror(X) = AX+B. Looking at the values of the "AX" part of the system would reveal you the mirroring plane, but now shifted by an offset of "+B" -- the distance between the mirror and your eyes -- because your choice of coordinates was not leaving the origin intact.

There's also a difference between hearing sounds and feeling them. It's not clear if the participants were exposed to the sounds through headphones or through massive sound systems. I'd hypothesize that the latter would probably have a much, much stronger effect, just based on personal experience.
I was surprised to see it as well. I think these discussions are healthy and I personally do find them interesting sometimes, so I guess that should make me less surprised that it has traction.

I think it's partially the tone of blame towards the use of "just". While I am interested in micro-optimizations, especially in how I communicate, I suspect most people don't. I don't begrudge anyone who uses "just" in speech though.

Another article / perspective on this would be written to help others understand why they or others use "just" in speech. This would help people interested in optimizing communication see the flaws in the use of the word, while aiding in understanding/empathy for this who are on the receiving end.

Your take on what serverless is good for sounds right.

What benefits does the "cloud architect" say the migration will bring? It sounds like you have a reasonable backend api setup that works. There needs to be a strong motivation to do a migration like that.

I'm also not convinced you're at a scale where you need a cloud architect, but it's hard to say from your description. I bet their main motivation is delivering a project that justifies their role.

> An automobile that 'lane-splits' to pass a bicyclist isn't moving between two other automobiles

They are moving between traffic in the next lane and the cyclist. Lanes simply don't have room for an automobile and half of another one.

> When you discuss a two-wheel vehicle and talk about lane-splitting you are talking about moving in the middle of two lanes between automobiles, essentially claiming a middle third lane that's not marked.

From a legal perspective, the driver of the two wheeled vehicle is not keeping their vehicle as nearly as practicable within a single lane. While I personally agree with lane splitting for single track vehicles like pedal and motorcyclists, the law says otherwise in most states in the US. But I don't agree with lane splitting for dual track vehicles because drivers of those types of vehicles don't have a precise idea of their extent, which makes it more likly they may end up colliding with a vehicle in the next lane when they lane split, compared to the driver of a single track vehicle.

Continuing the line was an impossibility because it would have driven the low countries straight into aligning with the Axis.

Just because political concerns ruin your tactic, doesn't mean those political concerns aren't real. The Maginot line was great tactically, but worse than useless strategically, because it completely failed to achieve it's big-picture objective - keeping the Germans out of France.

> There is really no fundamental difference between pedalcyclists and motorcyclists on surface streets where traffic moves between 0 and 30 mph. Neither one needs a barrier separated lane to operate in traffic.

Spoke like someone who has little experience of either.

I can tell you from experience that the introduction of a physically separated cycle lane on a 30mph road which is part of my commute as reduced the number of close calls I’ve had from every couple of days to zero.

A planet much closer to the star than the black hole is could possibly continue in an orbit fairly close to its previous one. But remember that the black hole is almost 10 times as massive as the star; that means that the hole is going to strongly perturb the orbits of any planets orbiting the star that weren't very close to the star. That doesn't necessarily mean the hole will consume such planets, just that their orbits will be very different than they were before, and might well become orbits around the hole, not the star.

Totally this. I cycled for year in London - the amount of lorries, buses and taxi's that would sneak through when a light was turning/had turned red - blocking junctions and pedestrians from crossing safely at lights,

I stopped to watch a police fishing campaign at a set of lights that a lot of cyclists went through - and had to physically go to the police to get them to intervene when motorists did the same - as they were ignoring them (mentality seemed to be 'we are here to ticket cyclists, anything else that happens today isn't my problem').

LOADS of people break the rules of the road, let's focus were the biggest risks and dangers are. That said, I haven't run a red on a bike for a very long time - I'd rather not give drivers any more reasons to be annoyed with cyclists.

It's both, actually. In the US there are generally three classes of electric bikes.

Class 1 bikes only assist when the rider pedals. They make sustaining speeds and climbing hills easier. They are generally allowed wherever bikers are, and have speed limiters.

Class 2 bikes use a throttle, and do not require peddling, and are generally considered a motorized vehicle.

Class 3 bikes are fuzzier. They operate like class 1 bikes (pedal to get power) but they can get motor assistance up to 28 mph. These bikes are generally allowed to operate like class 1 bikes as long as they stay under 20mph, but may be banned from some mixed use areas.

I couldn't find if this is the case in the paper but unless they created a pure tone at 20Hz (i.e. a sine wave oscillating at 20Hz) any sound will have higher harmonics. Even though the fundamental is 20Hz, it'll also sound 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz (in decreasing volumes) etc and these higher harmonics can or will be audible. Besides, especially in Western classical music, when we use double bass at very low frequencies, it's not always meant to be audible, it's sometimes meant to create a physical effect i.e. feel it through your skin/body instead of your ear, similar to percussion in some settings.
I've done serverless where it made sense: Data feeds for the Nasdaq where end of stock market day means lighting up tons of servers reactively to incoming data from data brokers.

Everywhere else, I went with traditional deployment of a monorepo.

You only have 100 concurrent users. You do not need serverless. You could serve 100x that amount easily with a simple nginx reverse proxy to your webserver.

This is almost comical enough for me to suspect that it is satire, but unfortunately there are too many examples out there of this type of thinking. It's just infra bloat and a waste of money.

Economically, it's usually more expensive to use serverless functions for a constant level of load. At least on AWS but I'd be surprised if the math turns out differently on Azure. So your intuition (low traffic or bursts) for serverless is quite correct, IMO. I usually try to move any stuff that doesn't fit with typical web server loads to serverless functions, e.g. cpu-intensive one-time tasks like image resizing or generating argon2id hashes, etc. But even for those loads it might be more economical to put them on separate instances/scaling groups if they can saturate those and the load is predictable enough.
The fact that SBF is re-tweeting stuff from the CEO of Alameda Research (his hedge fund) is also a bit confusing.
