More useful is one of many ways of being better. What are you talking about?

When somebody talks like this, ready to ban social networks, videogames, pornography, the whole internet, and pretty much every freedom that billinons of people enjoy, by comparing it to drugs, it scares me quite a lot.

It makes no sense what you say. If the experience with A was really worse than with B, people would stay with B.

by IvanK_net 9mo ago
You choose to spend your time on a place A instead of the place B, it means that the place A is better than the place B. Why else would you do it, if B was better? It is a simple logic.

Internet is amazing, it is the best invention of humanity, and each year, a person spends more time on the internet (on average) than a year before, which shows that it is getting more and more useful for everyone. Those who enjoy saying &q

Maybe they could simply make a modern web browser for PS2, where you would simply open a website with the game :)

Macromedia did this when saving Fireworks files into PNG. Also, Adobe saves AI files into a PDF (every AI file is a PDF file), and Photoshop can save PSD files into TIFF files (people wonder why these TIFFs have several layers in Photoshop,

A single tape machine is still a multi tape machine, only with one tape.

by IvanK_net 1y ago
I am confused. If a single-tape turing machine receives a digit N in binary, and is supposed to write N ones on the tape, on the right side of the digit N, it performs N steps. If you expect N ones at the output, how can this machine be sim

I think that 70 % of web users believe, that each website that they open can see their real name, their address, their phone number, the files on their computer, their browsing history and a lot more, and they believe that the GDPR laws are

I have no idea why they mention coding. It is the same in any kind of job. You can bake cakes for fun, make music for fun, write poems, novels, play chess for fun, practice sports, grow potatos ... At a certain stage, you realize that in or

We could plant, cut down and burn trees for the energy, in a circle, and keep carbon levels in our atmosphere the same, instead of digging up new carbon from the ground and burning it. We will have to bury carbon back under the ground at so

You can have a PNG and JPG versoin of the original image without no loss, and the files would be about the same size. You can have a PNG and JPG version of the original image, with the same loss - "average error per pixel", and th

by IvanK_net 2y ago
I know that the "lossines" is not included in PNG encoders, as it is in JPG / WEBP encoders. But the idea is the same: if you are ready to "accept some loss" (by reducing the number of colors in this case), you can

by IvanK_net 2y ago
That is what a "lossy compression" means. Instead of encoding the original image, you look for a similar image, that can be losslessly encoded into a smaller file. In PNG, you look for an image with 100 - 200 colors (so that color

Lossy compression is possible in PNG to a certain degree. This is the "same PNG", but 94 kB instead of 1015 kB: 1015 kB: https://sidbala.com/content/images/2016/11/outputFrame.png 94 kB: https

BTW. For the last 15 years, all web browsers on Windows do WebGL on top of DirectX (using the Angle library https://github.com/google/angle ).

Wow, nice! I wrote a BC1 encoder in JS, it is quite simple :) https://github.com/photopea/UTEX.js/blob/master/UTEX.js#L198

I think they should siply use four patches of BC1 (DXT1) texture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression It allows storing a full 8x8 pixel image in 32 Bytes (4 bits per RGB pixel).

The idea of the Incognito mode is, that the website should be unable to detect that you are using the Incognito mode. There is a bug in Chorme, which I reported, but they told me they will not fix it: https://bugs.chromium.org&#x

If someone already implemented an XML parser for you, SVG is easier to implement than TVG (if you are trying to extract the same type of content out of SVG as out of TVG).

by IvanK_net 4y ago
If we ZIP both SVG and TVG, the difference is not that large anymore. For most of people, wide support is more important than 20% smaller file size. That is why it is hard for WEBP to replace JPG.
