Having the focal point up close for a long time isn't that good for the eyes, so sitting closer than an arms length to a desk monitor isn't an idea that lasts well. 100 dpi with subpixel rendering already maxes out angular resolu

But the angular resolution of the eye doesn't rise. For a desktop monitor 100 ppi practically already reached the limits. Anything beyond that is just additional burden for the GPU and a waste of bandwidth. Surely you can increase reso

Microsoft did a lot of great work on Fonts in the past. Recently it looked like they abandoned per monitor subpixel-rendering?! In which direction are they heading?
35.
by adornKey 7mo ago
The explanation seems to be that it looked good in some old fonts. But I think it was always some kind of abuse. On old Typewriters the accents were usually used for accents (é è). They didn't move the cursor, so using them for apostro

A more general approach are Encyclopedias of integer series. I think that works better than just focusing on single numbers. Hm. How many numbers are there, that are interesting, but not part of a series?

Maybe that game exists, but it's an old word and you can find references for it that are hundreds of years old. Its meaning fits to the browser. Your statement that it's just some kind of reference to some special game is not corr

A few years ago I liked Ars Technica, but then somehow I think quality went down the drain. Did something happen to them a few years ago? If they get rid of the crazy reporters and go AI only - maybe the quality will improve again to a read

Once everybody has a decent amount of VRAM they can just run local AIs and the need to mess with Ad-laden search results will fizzle. So of course they are desperate to grab a new monopoly. People haven't realised yet, that local AIs a

Do the guys that buy out the market have real use for all the hardware - or is it just hype? A solution against investors trying to corner the market would be to sell virtual hardware. Let them buy as much options on virtual "to be del

Currently Debian wants to deprecate GTK2. So even the guys that are interested in stability might start to see problems with Debian. The key problem of Linux is that it doesn't have a stable API to write long living GUI-software for. S

Yes, to all the the scattering, the sky has, you have water and other material relevant for absorption in the path. In the end even the colour of the ground might matter. In the past some people said, that the sea is blue, because it's

I think the color of the ocean is an even more interesting subject than the color of the sky. There is even more interesting physics involved.

You won't get a green sky, but at least there is a meteorological optical phenomenon called the green flash around sunset. To see it, I think, you have to know what you're looking for - and you need good conditions.

I think AI will definitely help to get new compilers going. Maybe not the full product, yet. But it helps a lot to create all the working parts you need to get going. Taking lengthy specs and translating them into code is something AI does

For a start I think you could take a deep look at what WHO actually publishes. https://data.who.int/dashboards/covid19/cases They have a nice point there "What do negative counts of cases or deaths mean?&quot

Mice can fit through tiny holes. An old rule says that if a pencil can get through - a mouse will get through. Some mice even fly. I once had a bat clinging on my good old CAT cable. So even leaving windows open at night might affect bandwi

I wouldn't trust users for tagging. Let the AI tag things and let the users select what flavour of AI they want to use. The biggest problem are the people. Especially people interested in tagging are really bad. Sane people have a life
