I believe it is more fundamental. I like to think that AV1 entropy coding just becomes ineffective for large values. Large values are dominantly present in high quality photography and in lossless coding. Large values are repeatedly prefix coded and this makes effective adaptation of the statistics difficult for large integers. This is a fundamental difference and not a minor difference in focus.

Rather disingenuous title; on actually reading it the bill would create a peace bond that would enjoin someone that the government believed likely to engage in what the bill elsewhere defines as a hate crime — after a judge found that the government’s beliefs were warranted — from actually engaging in that hate crime without being subject to the penalties of violating the bond.

That’s fundamentally no different than a restraining order… you’d only be subject to house arrest (not, importantly, the same as arrest) if you behaved in ways that stepped over the line drawn in front of you.

Which also means it’s pretty likely to be extremely ineffective in achieving its goals, but that’s another kind of misrepresentation.

Because the basic OS interface is a 50-year-old design with "terminals" being the central I/O entity.

Differentiating between "interactive" and "daemon" mode becomes tricky for a daemon writer. In interactive mode, SIGHUP must terminate your process. In daemon mode, you may interpret it any way you like. Same for SIGINT, SIGQUIT, SIGPIPE, etc.

I made a mistake there with subtract green.

If I had just added 128 to the residuals, all remaining prediction arithmetic would have worked better and it would have given 1 % more density.

This is because most related arithmetic for predicting pixels is done in unsigned 8 bit arithmetic. Subtract green moves such predictions to often cross the 0 -> 255 boundary, and then averaging, deltas etc make little sense and add to the entropy.

I have the impression that too many people think about actual examples (like: I hate New York - or insert your hated city name here) rather than the idea of a city.

I have lived in a couple of large European cities and each was very different from each other, so I can't draw a "generic conclusion".

Cities can become what people imagine they would like - which sometimes is wrong/sometimes is right (in the sense: sometimes they imagine they would like X but when they have it they are more unhappy, other times they are more happy). But we should talk more about what we like and wish rather than where we want to be or not (city/country-side).
Actual users, perhaps. Or maybe concern trolls paid by a patent holder who's trying to prepare the ground for a patent-based extortion scheme. Or maybe Jon Sneyers with an army of sock puppets. These "actual users" are just as real to me as Chrome's telemetry.

That said: these actual users didn't demonstrate any hacker spirit or interest in using JXL in situations where they could. Where's the wide-spread use of jxl.js (https://github.com/niutech/jxl.js) to demonstrate that there are actual users desperate for native codec support? (aside: jxl.js is based on Squoosh, which is a product of GoogleChromeLabs) If JXL is sooo important, surely people would use whatever workaround they can employ, no matter if that convinces the Chrome team or not, simply because they benefit from using it, no?

Instead all I see is people _not_ exercising their freedom and initiative to support that best-thing-since-slices-bread-apparently format but whining that Chrome is oh-so-dominant and forces their choices of codecs upon everybody else.

Okay then...

The reason Slack and Teams feels so "urgent", is because there's little going back to reply to an older conversation. Everything is so ephemeral on these platforms, that either you reply now, or it's a goner (slight exaggeration, but mostly true).

Struct's feed system is naturally designed to surface latest, unread conversations. So even if when I've been away for days, I just come back and go thread by thread, like cleaning an inbox. It's a lot smoother system, and you miss nothing.

I get their stance on TypeScript "exported types must be explicit and not use inference", but I feel like this is going to cause a lot of friction in adoption.
The TypeScript syntax is very stable - there is no spec, but it's very stable. The type system on the other hand: not very stable, and yeah I agree - that would be risky to rely on.

However as JSR only relies on the syntax, not on the type system, it's no problem :)

It seems an impractical solution for a car, and better used as a massive and immobile mechanism where you can trade out a lot of that velocity for mass, and where your housing isn't actively fighting the storage the whole time.
