Besides the fact that only some image viewing programs and image editors support JXL... it is worth remembering that AVIF is just the image format used within the AV1 video codec. So, when AV1 becomes more popular and starts really showing up in silicon (which Google is putting huge pressure on silicon vendors for), almost everyone will have a hardware AVIF decoder for free, should they choose to use it. If that happens, any decoding speed advantages that JXL has could be blown apart very quickly. This makes AVIF, in my view, a much stronger long-term play, as how many people are going to implement hardware JXL decoders? AVIF will be much faster, perhaps slightly less efficient, and plenty good enough.

Of course. I mean that as far as I can see one should normally save on just about everything else, including going back multiple CPU generations (let alone giving up on a discrete GPU) and buying a used laptop instead of a new one (in case it’s a laptop), before opting for less RAM. (I’m not including Chromebooks in this calculation, as those have never been available to me.)
Same with Romania and Eastern Europe in general. Western EU countries criticize them immensely for corruption in the public eye, yet their governments, banks and major corporations profit immensely from the business deals corruption there enables them to do, and so they have a vested interest to keep just enough corruption there so they can keep profiteering, while maintaining enough rule of law so that their investments there are safe and ensures the free flow of profits back home.

Personally, I don’t like that it’s more of parsing text files to get a number, when you could have functions returning structs (of variable length, to get extensibility, while preserving backwards compatibility).

To make it sound more serious (or more funny, in this example), add three more zeroes to these numbers. Right now the whole site downloads the amount of data equivalent to 5000 recipes slightly compressed in transit, and also takes 250MB+ of RAM.

I actually wish all e-stores downloaded and cached all info for at least the current shopping section. Because the current behavior is to wait several seconds for each set of filters you may change.

It's nice to be ready for huge volumes of data, but also don't lie to yourself by thinking that your store will ever have inventory as large as 0.001% of that of Amazon. It will always be the same 1 MB that you'll query hundreds of times per second instead of fetching it once per client and letting their device do the job much faster.
You'd use it the same way any other web feature without widespread browser support is rolled out--progressive enhancement, i.e. load it at runtime if heuristics indicate the necessary browser APIs are available, otherwise fall back to a "degraded" version.
Using color alone to distinguish links is explicitly an accessibility violation. Underlines are not a requirement. I certainly agree that the link system here is atypical. It just isnt an accessibility violation.

Good point, in that they are both based on backup credentials generated on-demand. But the Yubico scheme is a lot more complicated and limited to backup devices (as opposed to passphrase or printed QR code). On the other hand, the signed handover is really cool, and doesn't require the server to store encrypted data like in mine.

I got scammed twice in my life by people from the same country (will let you guess the country).

I've owned Tesla's since 2016. At no time did I base my purchases on what the cars might be able to do in the future, only what they can do right now. Nor did I see any compelling reason to donate $10k - $15k to their R&D effort. The cars were compelling enough on their own merits and remain so. The FSD fiasco really does a disservice to what is otherwise a revolutionary car company producing excellent automobiles.
I find a satisfying enough solution to problems like this is only to acknowledge that common language does not extend itself to very deep analysis.

Funny story about this. A Sr. SWE on my team - let's call him Sam - gained quite a bit of notoriety in our org division by doing this.

The core "backend", used by teams all across the division, is a giant C++ project (~1 million LOC) that used to be compiled with a Makefile that would recursively call other Makefiles. It was very brittle, obfuscated, inflexible, and a huge pain point. But also a huge endeavor to change build toolchains.

Sam worked part-time for about 2 years converting the build system into CMake. He met with many stakeholders of the project, along with engineers on teams that wrote clients for the backend. The end result was a significantly more robust, performant, and portable build for everyone.

It dramatically increased his profile in the company, and was quite impressive to witness.

>> Jpeg xl covers several important domains that are not served by AVIF.

> I'm not finding any. Mind listing them?

I don't know much about JXL vs AV1 from a technical perspective, both seem significantly better than JPEG. But JXL has the practical advantage that it can losslessly recompress JPEG images for a size improvement without an image quality improvement. When converting JPEG to AV1, you're stuck decompressing the JPEG into raw pixel data, with JPEG artefacts and all, and then compress that pixel data with AV1, so you get the artefacts from JPEG and the artefacts from AV1. Decompressing the resulting AV1 image will result in different and almost certainly worse quality pixel data.

So the ability to do a risk-free lossless conversion from JPEG to a better format and get a size improvement is a pretty darn big domain that's not served by AV1.

Feel free to hold your breath, but I don't think that'll be good for your health.

The webkit bug for AVIF was opened in February 2020, an "initial support" patch was proposed in May, support was merged in March 2021. Apple separately shipped the decoder[0] in iOS and macOS in September/Octoboer 2022, and enabled the feature for Safari.

The webkit bug for JXL was opened in February 2020. That's about all that's happened to it. Reaction has been:

- Webkit is not super interested in adding a bunch of third-party unsafe code[1]

- Safari support requires OS support, which is non-existent for JXL[2]

[0] Webkit on non-apple platforms can use Webkit's decoders, on Apple platforms it uses CoreGraphics, though as seen with HEIF having CG support doesn't mean Apple enables the format in Safari.

There's only one issue with this list - many of these applications also support AVIF, and were "sitting on the fence" over the issue, which should not be interpreted as a sign of JXL's success. And the ones that don't are very likely to fall in line after the Chromium decision.
Everything in that article applies almost equally to regular sugar. The article even mentions it in a few places.

I used to have a "hardcore" setup with ublock origin and pihole (plus a bunch of other tools, a non creepy VPN).

I don’t see any ads. I do pay for YT however.

It’s not perfect but the balance of effort versus results is pretty good imho. The only thing I really miss is being able to disable JS per site, instead of globally, which Safari doesn’t allow :/

I wonder if people ask themselves, "am I a good artifact of criticism?"

Obectively, your identity is a set of meaningless reflections you have cohered into a narrative that centralizes your subjective experience. Subjectively, your identity is a story you protect and use a constant process of retroactive continuity to moralize and preserve it.

They are both artifacts of language, which is not a substrate or the real that persists when you are gone. Your identity is chosen. The value of an axiom like spiritual faith is that your choice can come from the reflection of something objective, persistent, and compassionate, instead of the reflections and artifacts of the language and meaning you have been presented with - often as a yoke. Be what you choose, not what may have happened, and especially not what someone who wants something from you tells you.

If your identity is the artifact of dialectic materialism, you have already accepted that you are a subject, working off an indenture in the name of earthly material justice, in pursuit of redemption from an imaginary critic who will never yield. I believe we have choice. Let one thing into your identity, and the rest becomes obvious, imo.
I wonder about that. Electron is mature. Well supported. Well documented. Predictable on desktop on account of using a known rendering engine. When it comes to having a mobile app as well, I look to obsidian for inspiration on possible approach since they built a non trivial app with a relatively tiny team. Their stack includes electron for the desktop and they re-used most (All?) of the core with capacitor for mobile. This included theming and plugins. Would be hard to bet against a stack that has that kind of real world success story behind it.
Related, sometimes I wonder if for instance some products I buy today have exactly the same taste today then in the past or if it slowly changed without I was able to discern it. For instance I wonder if a KitKat or Snickers has the same taste today then, say in 1980, given methods, norms, factories, productions,... have certainly evolved. Or how to keep something the same when everything changes.

> Anything which bothers anyone, should be questioned, be it at any level.

I really question what makes a person need to live life like this. You're saying "at any level", so people really just aren't just allowed to be bothered by something, vent on their very reasonable grievance, and everyone moves on with their day... as long as you're around. No grievance shall pass this one untested!

To be frank, that sounds like an exhausting and sparingly rewarding way to live life.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I offer a couple of counterarguments:
A. Most people who bought this knew what it was, that it was unfinished, and they were funding the research (which is a public good to some extent)

Alternate advice: practice skills of listening, observing, empathy, dialog, sharing, building. These are the skills you will need to deal with people.

People can have a difficult time talking about religion, politics, and programming languages because these issues affect their lives. When you say something that threatens another person’s life, expect a strong reaction to that threat. The key to having productive discussions about topics like these is to start with empathy, look for and diffuse threats, and seek a future state that creates space for the needs and goals of all stakeholders.
