PDF had an open spec and oodles of programs supporting it. I don't understand where this comment is coming from.

Also following redirects by default. "Run curl, be confused run curl -L" is something I do many times a month.

I don't know if it's necessary to be competitive about eulogies, but the one you posted was also touching. Thank you for posting it. The picture of Bram's GitHub contribution graph is haunting.

Sounds like your old place had a good idea what's good about c++. It's not the STL and certainly not boost.

Yes, but it is that way because these stories are what people want to buy movie tickets for.

The first significant digit of "0.1" and "0.2" _is_ 3! The first significant digit of "0.3" just isn't 3. In case anyone hasn't seen it yet, if you print a double with enough fractional values, you&#x

Also features like alpha support, yuv444 support in addition to yuv420, progressive rendering are interesting. Do jxl and avif both have all of these?

In NY at least, you can do into Fintech. That pays _better_ than Google/Meta.

A macro lens is defined as one having 1x magnification, meaning 1cm in real life at the focus plane is mapped to 1cm on the image sensor. A full frame sensor is 3.6cm across horizontally, so a 3.6cm object fills a photo. These things are sm

I only rent a small server from them, but I've been happy with their support. Talked to a real human who could help me with tech questions, even though I pay them next to nothing. (No affiliation.)

Tangential, but it's kind of pleasing that Lars WirzeNius is writing an article for lwn.net.

I think this is both obsolete and subtly wrong. Big corps want products with global impact. When a product is new, it's evaluated for its potential. When it's been around for a while, it's evaluated on how well its growth is

It's also true when learning languages. If you speak a language a tiny bit, locals act politely impressed. If you speak it kind of good but aren't a native speaker, at least in some countries that lands much worse than speaking th

Looks like Cat Allman was let go in the big layoffs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Allman I'm guessing that's the reason for this. I wonder what this means for Summer of Code.

I'm neither credible nor reputable, but I'm in favor of a weak version of this. When reading older books to my young child, I replace language that suggests that women are supposed to stay at home and men are supposed to go to wor

Do you know the difference between the T5 and the T7? From what I can tell, the T7 has faster transfer speeds, but is noticeably cheaper online. What's up with that?

> fast enough to run all of the above at 60 frames per second at 4K. Does anyone know if it supports variable refresh rate? Apple's marketing term for it is "ProMotion", which is hard to search for.
