$12 per month for a mobile wallpaper app, am I reading that correctly?
Not really surprising, given that the original image seems to be compressed very conservatively:

Here all `magick-[rot-]qXX.jpg` files come from `convert original.jpeg [-rotate 90] -quality XX magick-qXX.jpg`, where my ImageMagick version is 7.1.1-12 (Windows x86-64, Q16-HDRI). The initial shrinkage is solely from the lossy compression process and doesn't depend on the rotation angle that much.
The 5 years estimate is off by 3 years?
Quite likely no, as even grayscale antialiasing is going to look amazing in 4K.

macOS has grayscale antialiasing on by default.
I wouldn’t really describe a lot of Rist codebases I’ve seen as “OO-ify’d”. I’d say it’s got a more functional flavour if anything.

In my experience “de-programming” OOP-programmers is one of the first things teams I’ve been have had to do so that said OOP devs have a better time and write more idiomatic code.

Who are these worst people and who made you the judge? Is it holocaust deniers? Gays? Muslims? Christians? Vegans? Humans are diverse and contradictory in their deeply held beliefs about right and wrong. What about climate change deniers? They get blocked without saying anything vile - just disagreement.
Do I smell astroturfing here? Ton of comments, lots of fascination and compliments glazing a post that has a few hundred words saying nothing. On top of that, I don't see how using a 2D reduction of embeddings is any more rigorous than the current "semantic chunking" approach (which I am not a fan of).
That was the case a few years ago, now there's an AI system that decides if you're allowed to view it or if you have to sign in.

the macos approach is to only ship weird and nonstandard monitor resolutions to convince people to buy your fancy display that costs 5x as much
I don't think this is an unfair perspective.

When I started programming professionally (post dotcom crash mid-2000s) you could really achieve results that were considered game-changing for businesses as a solo contributor writing all your own code from the ground up. The field as a whole had not been really mapped out all the way, so even someone of moderate intelligence like me could feel like they were creating new useful things (especially on the web).

Modern software development frequently feels like gluing together towers of shit from other people's towers of shit. Additionally, the parts of the industry where the business case is "a computer could markedly improve this process and make people's lives so much easier" are pretty much saturated. The high paying career opportunities that are left generally seem to trend towards either value extraction or rent-seeking behavior.
Well if you use a gpt as a search engine and don’t check sources you get burned. That’s not an issue with the gpt.

Sorry, I was attempting to make two separate claims, both perhaps over generalizations for the sake of impact.
A video game console on the web / The bootstrap problem
Rocket fuel, as I said. Dangerous, powerful, indispensable in certain kinds of projects. Up until the advent of Rust, there was no viable alternative for C++ in large, long-running, performance-critical codebases, like browsers or game engines.

(I say this as a fan of Haskell and Rust, and a daily user of Python, Typescript, and elisp. Last time I wrote production C++ was in 2021, like 50 lines.)
This is great. Some people blocked me for whatever reason but keep commenting on my posts or to responses to my post. It's so annoying to have missing messages in the middle.

This and the fact that your likes are now hidden are great product changes IMO.

No?

That would be the case IF giving back was part of the deal which they are therefore reneging on. It was not. You are in the wrong.

Not just that, but the Exif orientation can be used to do the lossless rotation nowadays. (It's really the postprocessing step, but that step is now widely implemented.) This approach has no MCU limitation and even is honored by JPEG XL.

> Best guess at what the author saw, the original files were likely originally compressed with an encoder that did not optimize the huffman table, and his newer tools likely do compute an optimal huffman table for compressing the DCT coefficients, that and the fact that the author was doing a lossy recompression would often result in file size reductions.

`jpegtran -optimize` or any other optimizer (I tried ECT in particular) didn't work much for this particular image, so the Huffman table should have been almost optimal. Probably it has very low quantization factors instead.
IMO it was a product decision, and a great product decision at that (as much as I hate Elon)

Someone who's not from India might say, biometrics and centralized IDs are great tools to offer benefits to citizens. This is true, but when it is not, when a government is not trust-worthy, because of its own history of doing things this way.

They said that all your other IDs will be made invalid if you don't "opt-in" to Aadhaar. They essentially blocked you from using all pre-existing, valid IDs. They now in this ingratiating way ask us, don't you see the convenience?

Isn't "what MacOS does" just shipping extremely high DPI screens on everything + using regular anti-aliasing on fonts with no hinting or subpixel rendering?

I didn't say you claimed he was oblivious to his crime either.

What you claim being 'his moral compass' didn't stand basic scrutiny during his trial. It was demonstrated he fully knew he was committing fraud, he just didn't care because he was greedy.

FWIW, I think the previous versions of the website were clearer in some ways. For example:

Feb 2024: https://web.archive.org/web/20240226140616/https://nitric.io... the "Effortless infrastructure" section is especially helpful, because it's clear about what this is and mentions common keywords like Terraform or IaC, which the new home page completely ignores.

Nov 2022: https://web.archive.org/web/20221104194156/https://nitric.io... The 1-2-3 steps there with a realistic example and text descriptions made a lot more sense than the flowchart currently on the home page (which is both too complex and too small to comfortably read; I can't really see what it's doing).
People used to superblock via "apps" e.g. block this person and all those that follow this person, block everyone in this thread, etc.
> X Formerly Known As Twitter

Xitter for short.

> I would intend that people I had blocked are still able to see the message (and make copies of it) if they wish; I would block them because I don't want to see their messages and I do not want to allow them to send messages to me

I don't. There are different reasons to block and musk only sees the political one. On personal level I may want to have a public account for something but also don't want some person I know to see it and connect the dots that it is me. Maybe just because it's awkward or maybe be more than that

Imagine you are in an abusive relationship or just have a stalker. If you are the victim you want to escape and built relationships with other people. You create an alt with another name and block your abuser in advance so there is no way of finding out whose account it is unless you are betrayed by a friend. But now twitter will betray you. Unless you go private account and then no one talks to you.
Having traveled to remote villages and islands around the world, I've never come across genetics frams with bulging muscles and size I see on YouTube and bodybuilding gyms.

I assume unless the person is genetic anomaly, there's no way people can carry all that size naturally and being sub single digits body fat % at the same time. It's all anabolic use, otherwise we would definately see these cases in remote villages where plenty of food exists.
With Twitter you would have been able to just do incognito mode. In the "X" era, following someone's posts when not logged in is pretty difficult as the profiles don't actually show their current tweets but rather a sort of random pile, maybe popular ones?, and that's only when you don't just get directed to sign in. You can see a particular message if you have a direct link to it, but you can't see or follow any threads, etc...

Using a different account would work, sure, though that of course evades the block entirely, in both directions.

The point was probably moreso that the posts wouldn't show up in the blocked person's feed, they'd have to actively seek them out. That probably does make a real difference.

Leading comma is nice in SELECT statements because you can comment toggle individual lines. Indenting your code to make it more readable is basically what anyone with room temperature IQ does automatically. A lot of these other tips look like they're designed to deal with SQL design flaws, like how handling nulls isn't well defined in the spec so it's up to each implementation to do whatever it wants.
The answer is really quite obvious if you've ever heard a British brass band live - even the relatively small brass section in a symphony orchestra can completely dominate in terms of volume. It was established in Goldscheider v Royal Opera House that a typical brass section can achieve peak sound pressure levels of 137dB(A) without any special effort.

If a brass section give it the beans, then it's literally like standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier for anyone sat in front of them. You can feel your eyes vibrating in your head. You need a lot of string players to even hope to keep up with that.

tree like structure is tricky, for regular csv you can use react-virtual, react-window or use canvas based approach. Canvas based approach would work for tree like structure as well, you are already doing it with graph so it should be doable for table as well.

GPON is one of those technologies that should have been drowned in the bath before the spec even made it out of its ITU committee. It's just yet another patch papering over how cheap the ISPs were and how they continue to be. Yes, let's add another layer on top of all of the other layers. Now however many millions of links out to subscribers are hamstrung with that decision to split the physical layer up and throw in nonsensical TDM into the mix as well. Good luck squeezing much out beyond 25g in the future, you're just gonna have to rip all of that fiber up anyway and do home runs. Might as well have done it up front with all of the billions that have been given away to the littly piggy piggy ISPs.

I made a comment a few days ago about how I despair when I see anything modern datacenter related. I get the same sort of revulsion when I look at the list of all of the gpon hardware on that page and thing: how much duplicated and wasted effort has gone in to making dozens of different models of the exact same thing. A thing that's not really even needed if a halfway-competent ISP made an investment that's more than the absolute minimum required.

Nice directory democratizing some good reverse engineering, though!

I strongly don’t agree with these corporate free speech decisions stemming from the SCOTUS Sorrell ruling (that pharmacies could not be legally restricted from selling prescription data because it would abridge their free speech rights).

Governments should be given broad power to regulate business transactions. We don’t call an SEC disclosure “compelled speech” and it is incoherent to me why these regulations are considered otherwise.
I have Fedora Kinoite and Mbpr M1Pro connected to the same 4k Dell monitor. Font rendering is still much better on macos than any settings in Fedora.
See my other comment for the result from ImageMagick, which shows little difference regardless of the orientation. For sips, there is a possibility that chroma subsampling impacted the result (because there are two different scaling factors for each axis) and you are technically comparing different images.

Wasn't always this way -- see this historic reconstruction of a Baroque orchestra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNqJ8mED1VE (Handel, Music for the Royal Fireworks on period instruments)

Down on the lowest level of the stage we find a small string orchestra, but then behind it on risers there are something like 18 oboes(!!), 10 bassoons, 9 horns, 9 trumpets.
Is that the same shipwreck? Your link is about a wreck discovered by two men "Kevin Dykstra" and "Frederick J. Monroe" in 2014. This article is about a wreck discovered by a married couple before 2013. I think they're completely unrelated stories.
You didn't account for depreciation; for example the rollback to the 1980s ovens probably fails because they don't work after 45 years.

> We’ve never seen 80% of employees go on strike at a company and the company keeps working.

Typically because the strikers are physically blocking access to the building in the cases I've seen. The capital doesn't just sit idly because the owners are in a state of deep despair, but because the strikers are forcing it to be so.

Strikes fall apart pretty quickly without government support because of dynamics like that. Naturally speaking, with plain property right logic, the strikers lose all their ability to produce, the capitalist loses a fraction of their ability. It is very lopsided.
Yeah, no. Mac font rendering is blurry, Windows font rendering is pixelated or okay with the right ClearType settings, FreeType with slight hinting and subpixel rendering (lcdfilter) is between these two and really fine IMO.
Look at the 'e' for example. Night and day difference.

PS: talking about screenshots in the article.
I didn’t really understand the criticism. PON is just fine. I have an XGPON ONT and previously there was a GPON ONT. Upgrading was just getting one from the ISP after they upgraded the splitter. GPON and XGSPON can live simultaneously.

I don’t think we will ever hit the limits of PON quite frankly and swapping out PONs for newer and better standards is rather trivial.
I hardly use Google search anymore. I think Google search wil also be dead soo .

Yes, it was a lot easier to do this as a single guy without a family and pretty minimal material desires.

Mostly it was just living from savings - the first time was a working holiday overseas doing seasonal work with long stretches of time off in between. Later on in my career I was able to save more by keeping my standard of living low (and not buying a house, perhaps unfortunately).

Ultimately I don't think you need to quit everything to see through these beliefs. Meditation was a big part of the process for me and I didn't spend that long doing it. If you watch the mind close enough it becomes clear that so much of what seems so true and real is nothing more than a belief.
I don’t think that the kind of things the article describes him avoiding - abortion, race relations, voting initiatives - are related even indirectly to Mark Zuckerberg and how much wealth he has. It sounds like he’s well aware that he doesn’t live in some Platonically apolitical realm, and just isn’t as interested as he used to be in leveraging his resources to advance political goals.

Shall I tell you about the qualified and professional human appraisers that I’ve hired in the past? I usually get results in the range of 0.5x-5.0x what is realistic market. I had a job that I would hire usually at least 3 appraisers for every transaction and could pick which appraisal to share with insurance, lenders, etc based on whether a high/low value would benefit me. Humans are flawed too.
I somewhat agree that it is still great. I do not agree that it is better because you can pay or be verified, but my feed is okay
Not shown: stop using SELECT *. You almost certainly do not need the entire width of the table, and by doing so, you add more data to filter and transmit, and also prevent semijoins, which are awesome.

I don't like PON either, and I applaud your soapboxing about it, but IMO this overstates the extent of the impending 'rip it all out and replace it'. They can keep most if not all of the fiber runs, and just switch the PON muxes out for DWDM muxes when they need a home run link to each customer.

Oh, I don't know. Calling your competitors "cancer", their product a "cheap knock-off", and urging people to stop using them?

If my competitors are selling an inferior product, I would let that speak for itself, which should make my alternative shine in comparison. Going on a mudslinging crusade just reeks of desperation and immaturity, and the defamation and blackmailing could be illegal. If he really had a case against them, it would be resolved in court.

Ok, there are two ways to interpret that statement: (1) literally just giving them advice, with the explicit understanding that nothing is implied in doing so; or (2) an implicit understanding that "they have to correct course if they are to avoid massive human toll" ... OR ELSE.

(2) is mucking around in local politics.

Interestingly the nuclear data implies that those (45% of) projects not in the tail (defined as >= 50% cost overrun) have a mean overrun of 17.33%.

120% = 0.45 * X% + 0.55 * 204% therefore X% = (120% - 0.55 * 204%)/0.45 = 17.33%
