I was using WebP-lossless for quite a few years, for the subset of images I had that fit within WebP's limitations (being the 16383×16383 dimensions and 32 bpp color depth). I've recently converted everything to JPEG XL. Old JPEGs

It's worth remembering that Raku originated as "Perl 6" and a lot of design philosophies are derived from Perlisms in the first place. The author seems to be unfamiliar with both Perl and Raku's history, given that he im

I've been pretty happy with it, myself. All the base OS libraries support JPEG XL so it's nearly pain-free, excepting lack of web browser support. Combined with GNU parallel, I did this: find -type f -iname \*.jpg -print0 |

Dreadful where? In this day and age, WebP is supported by every browser, I can browse them comfortably in my file manager and basically every image-related program can open and edit them (I'm running GNOME on Arch). Where is it lacking

JPEG2000 is a different format, just as JPEG XL isn't the same as original JPEG.

You can also do C-x C-e in bash and it'll open your current prompt input in $EDITOR. You can even start doing multi-line input the easy way through this method.

I must be in my wrong mind then. :) Just because it's a 128-bit number doesn't mean it should be difficult to remember, the standard notation goes a long way toward that. 2001:db8::cafe:f00d and fc00:bad:beef::1 aren't what I

At least it still performs well at the "Home Depot stuff hauler" part. A sedan is absolutely impossible to work for that use case. (Ok: I'm a bit defensive. There's a concerted Internet effort over the past year to paint

This is a great program and I use it almost every day. A+ For my local units file, I've also defined a “floppyMB” for retro computing purposes. The old “1.2 MB”, “1.44 MB”, “2.88 MB” measures were based on the idea that “1 MB = 1000 Ki

Perhaps they aren't. TeXmacs is also from the 1990s and from your brief description, no compelling reason was offered to prefer them. :p

TeXmacs isn't a derivative of LaTeX. It has an unfortunate name. It is a WYSIWYG editor that produces comparable output. It does support some subset of (La)TeX backslash commands as convenience, but requires none of them. Basically you

English rules for using "a" or "an" depend on sounds used in the next word, not particular letters. "A unit" and "An hour" are easy examples that might trip people up when focused on the letters used

The disadvantage of Word is that it has absolutely terrible output and quite a lot of use cases are hard or impossible to use in it. Don't let the name fool you. TeXmacs won't make you write (La)TeX. You'll get tables that wo

The problem is that if the operating system allows sequences that are not valid UTF-16, then you cannot just state "it uses UTF-16": anything that is expecting UTF-16 and only UTF-16 is going to break on valid file names. "Th
