Hello, thanks for reading my post. I just wanted to reply here quick and see if I understand your suggestion correctly. Your thought is that mentioning that the necessary data is sent to https://api.pushbullet.com instead of jus

SDF is cool but not a generally good solution to GPU vector graphics. It only works for moderate scaling up before looking bad, the CPU prep figuring out the data the GPU needs takes far longer than just rasterizing on CPU would, etc. It&#x

I want to say yes, but it depends on what you're actually doing as a final goal. Detecting when a path is antagonistic to most GPU approaches takes time, as does preparing the data however it needs to be prepared on the CPU before bein

SVG paths can be arbitrarily complex. This article really doesn't discuss any of the actual hard cases. For example, imagine the character S rotated 1 degree and added to the path on top of itself in a full rotation. This is one path c

Could you provide the source code where this is supposed to be happening? I see the favicons being discussed, and the source clearly shows requests only made to domains: https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/

I realize you are trying to help, but I find this to be a very depressing suggestion. "Make things worse". Fortunately I do not need to care about people captured by these anti-virus cartel members so I will not do this.

It's interesting. How does one exactly address this? If anyone knows I'm genuinely curious since this seems horrible. (Snark time) Is there someone that gets paid for protection? Maybe a "contribution" to security resear

Hm, I get your point but you've never wanted to live somewhere for just a few years? Renting is great for many circumstances. Huge transaction fees and risks related to owning are not great if you're not looking to settle down lon

For those using Python, we just got our Python bindings for Pixie up onto pip. Repo here https://github.com/treeform/pixie-python It's extremely fresh but our tests are working so consider giving it a try. For tho

SVG support has been really helpful for me to see a diverse and "real world" set of rendering results when working on Pixie. And for testing it's great to be able to grab huge sets of open source SVG files and check our resul

Co-author here, I worked a bunch on the SIMD stuff in Pixie which I have really enjoyed. If anyone is curious about SIMD or anything else I'll be around.

This is not a big deal as you make it sound. Insurance is like 1k per year these days on a $300k house. If it was $500 five years ago, this $500 increase is nowhere near as substantial as the interest rate change relationship described abov

Isn't 'The ends justify the means' the argument of every villain ever? Unrelated to this Tesla stuff, it seems reasonable to observe that the means do actually matter.

I follow all of this reasoning and really don't disagree. I would just add that, while I don't want All of my money to be based on crypto, I do like that I could feasibly have Some of it. It seems like a richer or more dynamic fut

Sure, I agree with this. I'm personally mixed on crypto but strongly dislike the glossing-over of its various fundamental properties by people taking intense absolute positions about what free people should be able to do. That can get

I've never put a TV on my WiFi. That strikes me as an obviously bad idea. I guess people use the terrible built-in apps? It just seems like a series of poor choices to me. Crazy though that an expensive LG CX OLED would do that. I figu

The growth in tech stocks has been pretty insane imo. It's so easy to be afraid though and call this another 2000, but we really don't know what the future holds. I wish Europe had it's own set of exciting tech companies. Tha
