The Github README says, "Guetzli generates only sequential (nonprogressive) JPEGs due to faster decompression speeds they offer." What's the current thinking on progressive JPEGs? Although I haven't noticed them recent

The last two sentences that you complain about are on a two-page spread: "As a policy writer, I would say that a dog has permission to eat dog_chow food and a cat has permission to eat cat_chow food. In SELinux we would write this rule

Ah, the downloaded file didn't have a .tar extension, and looking at the file with the head utility made it seem like it was just a single TSV file. It is in fact a TAR file that expands into 1,699 .vels files. Thanks for the explanat

I followed the links to this page: http://home.dtm.ciw.edu/ebps/data/ When I try to download the TAR files, I'm sent to a Google Drive page where the download button gets a single 5 MB file.

In another post, the author mentions a particular Pioneer Blu-ray drive that he uses with his Mac. Are they all pretty much the same, or are some models preferred?

Interesting to see screenshots of LCOV. I'm hoping to get an intern to work on test coverage this summer, and I wondered whether LCOV is still current. Looks like the latest release is from December 2016.

Last I checked, the browsers vary in their support for color management. Try a quick test at a page like this before drawing any conclusions from the canary image: http://cameratico.com/tools/web-browser-color-manageme

I can't remember the last time I thought that my terminal was too slow, except maybe when I tried that Electron-based program a while back (Hyper, I think it was). My priorities are more like the following: 1. Stability. I crashed Al

I looked into succinct data structures last year in the context of encoding a list of offsets. Alex's blog was one of the launching points, and I also came across Daniel's FastPFor repository. There are some really interesting ap

FWIW, Go and Rust are 16 and 43, respectively on the TIOBE index: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ A Github search turned up 2,658 Go repositories with more than 100 stars: https://github.com/search?l=

The bytecode interpreter I test has over a thousand instructions, because much of the standard library functions are baked in. I asked a colleague whether it made sense to convert to wordcode. He thought it might: simpler decoding, less b

I tested support for the Islamic (Hijri) calendar last year. The tabular variant can be handled at the locale level for the most part. The observed variant, on the other hand, is a bit of pain, as it depends on whether someone claims to h

Although I think the author fairly summarizes the Stallman/FSF position on NoDerivs, here are a couple of quotes from gnu.org for background (presumably fair use, NoDerivs notwithstanding): "Works that express someone's opini

The problem of inconsistent URL parsing doesn't just apply to browsers. This story prompted me to look for "What every web developer must know about URL encoding," which was posted a while back: https://news.ycomb

Ah, that explains why the executable is so large (14 MB, compared to 650 KB for jq). That v8 crate looks interesting. There was a post a while back about Neon, for writing Node modules in Rust: https://news.ycombinator.com/

I'm not sure where the C89 in the submitted title came from. This is for SubC, "a simple subset of C." This README describes the many differences: http://www.t3x.org/subc/README-current.html

This is really cool. I'd like to see a lot more in the test directory, though. Can any MSFTies here describe how this is tested?

Yeah, the list of "must have" and "avoid" attributes made it clear that this is not a list for me. I'll probably never use my laptop with an external GPU that costs as much as the laptop itself. Maybe I'd fee

I'm missing the context, since there's no link to or quote of the accusation. However, the author clearly admits that Wix did not comply with the license, with no excuse other than ignorance and indignation.
