There is a long history of compressors that replace the entropy coding layer of a codec with something else entirely. This is exactly it.

Black rights really spooked republicans and they went for a long game, establishing own media and think tanks.

No, because in maps category, people demand no inconveniences or compromises at all. Often the same people, who put up with Linux distros' shenanigans, curiously.

Not even close. While water usage and ambient temperature rise might be overblown, noise pollution and electrical grid strain are very much real.

The Han unification probably was about fitting CJK into the 16 bits aka BMP. It was a blunder indeed.

The article is poorly worded. MyDr aka znanylekarz.pl is not mandated officially. It's what private practices use for appointments and medical records. What public hospitals mostly use is an on-prem version of GCM Clininet. There is ho

I'm curious to hear your opinion about the US/UK admissions system; in Poland it's all matura (like SAT) based; any additional activities and merits are purely checklist based and consitute mostly a tie-breaker. Additional fi

I love Proxmox. It's one of the few infrastructure tools that defy YAGNI and are almost always a good idea to have no matter how simple your setup is. It's a bummer you can't use this on Raspberry Pi, but then again, they are
