It might be worthwhile to overshoot the target resolution significantly with the nearest-neighbor scaler, then downscale interpolatively (e.g. bilinear) to the viewport. This should help dealing with doubled rows/columns and moire pat

I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to presume that more valid positions are likely to be found closer to the midpoint of the current Overton window. I suspect that as a matter of Bayesian probability, more extreme positions

"Download Amaya" as the link text makes the most sense in your scenario. A link that just says "Amaya" isn't any better than one that just says "click here" -- neither is sufficiently conveying that click

This already happens unintentionally, e.g. Wikipedia loops, where bad info on Wikipedia gets repeated elsewhere, and then the Wikipedia article gets updated to cite that source. When LLM-generated content is pervasive everywhere, and the tr

If you do a web search and find a random blog post full of spelling errors and surrounded by ads, you're not going to trust that at the same level as a Stack Overflow post with a hundred upvotes, or an article with a long comment threa

It does seem "modern" in the sense that it is incredibly limited in functionality (EDIT.COM from DOS is much more full-featured) and deviates from well-established UI conventions. CUA-style menubars aren't that uncommon in te

Is this constitutional? It sounds like a pretty clear breach of the anti-commandeering doctrine. The federal government can't simply issue commands to state legislatures. Federal law might supersede state law in areas where the feder
