At the kind of high quality settings many still images are encoded at, jpeg XL often beats all those other formats in quality/bit (at _low_ bitrates the video-derived formats win). Furthermore, in lossless mode it does significantly better than png; many of the formats you list either don't have a lossless mode, or aren't at all competitive in lossless mode. It also supports bitwise-identical jpeg recompression (which naturally isn't quite as efficient as from-scratch compression as jpegXL), making for a very, very easy transition story that immediately provides significant savings, while also having a seemless path to use native jxl images in the future. It supports per-pixel alpha and animation. It allows for very high bit depths and images sizes, making it convenient in authoring workflows too. Another authoring feature that matters is generation loss - decoding and recompressing repeatedly causes much less distortion in the reference jxl encoder than typically seen in heif, avif or webp. And it's also computationally much, much cheaper - HEIF and particularly AVIF can be quite expensive to encode. Unlike HEIF, there don't seem to be patent issues yet.

In essence: it's best or near-best at almost all workloads, all in one, while being more practical to use to boot. It's just the still image codec you _want_ to be using, instead of having to fiddle with the various tradeoffs the others have.

Need to support non-modern clients or have lots of existing jpegs? jxl allows jpeg recompression with cheap and exact jxl->jpeg reconstruction.

Have tons and tons of images that aren't necessarily going to be viewed often; or have dynamic image generation? Compression is much faster than other competing modern formats; decoding speed

Have some pixel art or geometric diagrams? Jxl does better here than png, and better than all other competing formats (excluding a few very niche hyper-slow research formats).

Just don't want to worry too much about your exact workload? Jxl does well at pretty much everything.

Have users that have the bad habit of opening, editing, and resaving lossy images? Jxl introduces less generation loss.

Have huge images, but don't want to wait for the whole thing to load? Jxl supports progressive decoding.

Have various layers or other editing-workflow-related (meta)data? Jxl supports that, while also having best-in-class compression rates at high or lossless quality, and also having fast encode and decode times

JpegXL is probably the best format to use for almost every image you encounter. That's why it's a shame to see chrome dragging its feet here.
Yes and perhaps your bias clouds your perception or desires a more positive reception of your “alma mater”. Boot camps generally illicit a negative reaction from experienced programmers. Primarily because their primary stated goal is to give a “student” enough experience in an extremely compressed amount of time for them to enter the workforce as productive developers. The issue is that experience, by definition, can only be gained over time and with diverse trials and tribulations. Only the most motivated bootcampers can achieve this during their program by supplementing with copious amounts of self-learning.

Unfortunately even then a boot campers “experience” is quite limited but many come out of their program believing they are equals to more experienced mid/senior level programmers which results in those in the industry having animosity to those individuals. I think this explains the general “negative tone” you see in this comment section.

Are boot camps bad? No, I think they are quite useful but I think we need to acknowledge that they really only effectively create a pipeline of junior developers and replace the need for corporations to have internal education/training programs.

On the price point I agree with you but then the comparison becomes not so level by comparing semi-conductors technology from 2014 to the ones from 2021, that's 7 years of evolution on sensor technology packed into the phone's sensor, plus all the image processing advances since then.

Again, I understand the price point but it's an oddball comparison. Perhaps a comparison between the A72 and a Fujifilm X-E2 could tell us more but I don't have either devices to directly compare myself :/
We actually had a very similar issue in the office but maybe a bit different. From time to time an entire part of the office would start having slow internet or almost no internet. Took us a few months to fix (it wasn't really on the priority list and was super random when it happened).

Turned out that it happened when one specific USB-C dongle with ethernet and PD was left powered on but not connected to the computer (I think there were other preconditions as well like it was powered-off and you connect power to it but not a computer to it).
The device will then decide to go into DHCP server mode and start sending advertisement packets and the switch would start broadcasting them, the internal firewall would see this and start blocking the switch and in turn turn off the AP that was connected to it so 26 ports would be offline essentially.
Most of us were on wifi and everyone who was on an ethernet (3 ppl) would go "FFS internet is unstable again. Stupid switch is probably buggy", disconnect their cable and go on wifi. Plus they never really reported it as they had work to do and Wifi kinda worked so not a big issue.

It was just a really cool moment when we found out what caused it and we fired up Wireshark and looked at the traffic and we were right. I haven't had a moment of so much joy in a really long time.

Can we talk about the fact that people are paying 10% of their income to live in this dirty crime ridden city? I don't think people comprehend how much money they are spending. If you manage to keep your salary (which some people are able to do), moving out of California to a no tax state means you instantly get a 22% raise. Meaning for every 5 years you will earn the equivalent of 1 extra year of salary, factor in compound interest from investments and it's significantly more in reality.

Going back to the 22% raise number. Why 22% if California income tax is 10%? The 10% income tax takes away after-tax money. So to earn that 10% back you need to make the equivalent of 122% your income in California.

It's just absurd. Either move to a part of California that makes the income tax worth it or get out of the state. San Francisco's weather is not worth 4 years of your life (assuming you work there for 20 years, it's 8 working years if you factor in returns from investments on the money you are saving.)

Generally, answering questions will raise new ones. It is very unlikely for a single paper to be the end of a line of research. Sometimes the new questions are quite fundamental (like here), sometimes the new questions are details, and sometimes the further research is "try this same method on this other known big problem".

Besides the inherent fractal nature of how science works, there is also an incentive. Being a scientist in a solved field is not very smart. Or even more cynically the 'further work' section says 'please pay me to do these things next'.

But I think the cynical view is not as important here. Research tends to be strictly limited in time, and for good reason. During the research you will probably find new directions, and also get insight into what old questions are interesting, or what new methods matter. All of these are great cause to include a further work section.
I'm sincerely curious about what you have in mind for "clojure hosted on rust".

Rust has a relatively thin runtime, but heavy static compilation work (types and lifetime and borrowing, etc...) , so it kinda seems like a completely different set of tradeoffs than what clojure favors (dynamicity, late bindings, runtime checks, managed memory, etc..)

Or did you mean "a clojure-like syntax for something that produces rust code to be eventually compiled natively ?"

The difference comes from several things, JVM being the first and obvious one. It takes as much memory as whole Memgraph + small dataset in this case. Second is the overallocation that JVM/Neo4j is doing, taking a bit more memory to have future space to grow. The third one comes to the implementations of storage and Neo4j cache implementation, not sure what Neo4j does on that side and how impactful it is. We use a skip list.

No, I haven't followed the language in 6 years. I remember there was at least one instance but can't recall. Other extensions significantly change the semantics of language module interfaces in more obtrusive ways than I'd like - compared to say C where it's pretty easy to offer a simple interface.

Some of these things would make working in the language pretty painful. I remember trying some library to toy around with a basic 400 line OpenGL program. It always needed 8 seconds to rebuild at the time. I don't recall and probably didn't understand why, but I suppose it has to do with some extra type or template hackery in the library that would just overcomplicate everything, probably even at the outset.

What remains is the feeling of, I can't do this thing yet in the type system, so take that extension. Oh wow. Now I can't do this other thing that I also need, the only fix is another extension (if it's available yet). I couldn't get around of this feeling of constantly having to hack around the language.

In my experience you need to have a very good overview and understanding of all the available tricks and extensions to be able to navigate your way around the language and not paint yourself into a corner. Maybe I have the wrong personality, the wrong motivations, or am just not smart enough. Obviously I'm not you, and am not Edward Kmett (who would resort to lots of GHC specific hacks and drop down to C++ as well).

If one is forced, there's obviously no option.

The idea is not that C/C++ should be replaced right now, rather, that devs finally understand that C/C++ should not be used where possible.

I actually see this pattern used by some, who defend C/++: "C/++" should be deprecated" - "No, it's impossible to eliminate C/++ today".

Deprecation is not elimination. Linux started introducing it, and Google is doing as well, so it can be done gradually.

Over the years, I've subjectively found HN to be less optimistic. The tone of the comments here are not significantly different from many other topics.

Note that I am not saying that HN is now less neutral--it may be that the current level of optimism vs. cynicism maps better to reality.

That said, I think more optimism is generally better (for motivating action) if you want to start a new business or build a new technology; more realism is generally better if you want to go down an established path or join a venture purely as an employee; and more cynicism is better if you want to be a rabid online commentator (joke!).

I'm not a lawyer but I've lived in some very gun-friendly places.

Every state has different laws about when/why you are allowed to engage with deadly force against another human being. Generally it is permitted when you face a threat of inescapable, serious bodily harm. Sometimes the law is more permissive than that. Look up "duty to retreat," "stand your ground law," "castle doctrine," and "justifiable homicide."

If an unarmed person is stealing your car in California, it's unlikely that shooting at them would be lawful. However, California law imposes no duty to retreat, this article is about "violent robberies," and it specifically discusses getting held up at gunpoint. Someone under those circumstances would likely be permitted, under law, to kill the robber. That may not be true in states with duty to retreat laws.

The fact that every state has a unique approach to this question means that there really isn't a satisfying and succinct answer to your question.

America is a federal union. The policy and spending of the federal government can't and shouldn't be applied to these hyper local issues. San Franciscans are probably the highest taxed individuals on the planet and the San Francisco government was flush with cash. Blame local government policy and politics for these issues. This is what happens when you elect literal communist terrorists (see Weather underground) into government.

There are parts of this country that can be considered paradise in comparison to San Francisco.

I am beginning to think that advertising is the most toxic element of our environment. Click bait is a way to present something that makes it impossible not to ignore. "Biden and Trump Get Into Food Fight at Restaurant". Behind the click bait is so often lies, deception or garbage, that our brains now conclude that anything behind click bait is trash.

If advertising is your business model, then you can make more money with click-baitization. Here's looking at you WAPO and NYT.

If, with good reason, we cannot trust the supposed sources of good information, even HN, then our ability to build common understandings and actions is destroyed. Why, it is almost like our political system would be destroyed.

If it where purely ideological I would not be buying things online at all. I like buying stuff online because its convenient, and Cryptocurrency is the most practical way to buy stuff online while still protecting my privacy to some extent. But cryptocurrency does not protect my privacy completely, if I was a purist I would not buy things online at all.

Privacy is a lot like other civil liberties, it feels ideological and airy-fairy until you need it and don't have it.

Take for example web hosting. I could have paid for the website that we used to lambast the Minneapolis police department and argue that they should not have access to the toys they want using a credit card, but then the Minneapolis police could send a sternly worded letter to the webhost and learn where I live. Which is a reasonable consern if you know anything at all about the Minneapois police department. So I pay for webshosting with cryptocurrency.

That's a real clear cut example of why financial privacy matters, but that same concern extends to pretty much every thing you do online. Cardinal Richelieu has the right of it when he said "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him", and recall that The US government kills people based on metadata. Its easy to dismiss me buying a box of candy as not important enough to worry about, but its the entire history of every financial transaction you make that paints a very accurate and very useful picture of who you are what you get up to that is of great interest to people who can do you real harm.

> Emplyoment in general only works because the employees in many cases actually care about the quality of their work and not only about themselves

I do see what you're saying, but I don't think that quality of work and caring about oneself only are mutually exclusive.

You can care about the quality of your work without really caring about the fate of a particular company. Employees with great output are in high demand, so you know that you can just continue somewhere else.

I happen to care about the quality of my work and the company, but even then, the company's future (unless I own it) comes way below my own needs (thinking of my family here in particular).

I don't think it's possible to make a significant portion of your workforce altruistically care about the company. Hence, the original commenter's suggestion is that managers are responsible for correctly incentivizing workers.
