   Totally true, ars. I came here to nerd-rage that, no, a GIF is NOT “literally a sequence of idependent images.” That is NOT what makes common video formats use less bandwidth, and I thank you for making this clear. One thing you can do with

   You’re both right, to some degree. While you are correct that the eyes focus at a certain depth, much like a camera, the difference is that we can chose to focus at any depth (assuming good eyesight). This is not true of a photograph if it

   What do you mean, "the light field from the farther depth should be convolving with the … near"? Intuitively, grandparent post is right, the hair should be sharp.

    It’s obviously "anti-male discrimination," by definition. It’s just not evil or unwarranted. Discrimination is not a synonym for hate; it basically means selection criteria or bias, which obviously applies. For pete’s sake. Are yo

    Oh, blanket statements. If you are against discrimination, always, you must then be opposed to Horvath’s creation of a series of talks that discriminate against men? It’s explicitly woman-only. The only discrimination that has demonstrably

    Oh, cool. I just realized I am lucky to not be listed in Leslie Horn’s terrible "article" [1]. I forked a URL shortener a few years ago. One feature I added was to avoid auto-generating offensive short URLs, which is on GitHub [2]

    I have no idea why you said this in reply to a sarcastic post, because - we SHOULD have JSON comments. Have you never edited a JSON-based config file? - No one says that HTML or XML shouldn't have had comments - JSON5 already suggests

    Is Persona dead? Why does the post say “did fail” instead of “has failed (so far)”? The latter would imply that ongoing efforts will be made.

    Ooh, nice question. Floats are a quantity and a magnitude. Adding two floats requires (at least) the larger of the two magnitudes because larger values are more important than smaller ones. So the smaller float essentially gets converted to

    Are you really implying it doesn’t? So many Web “best practices” are working around the limitations of HTTP and the web 1.0 legacy we still carry around. See: 1. Concatenating resources (1 CSS file is worlds better than 50. Need it be?) 2

    I think the parent meant that this collusion artificially denied what would otherwise be a fair market for the employees . Of course, you are entirely correct that this sort of thing is allowed if no regulation is placed on the corporation
