My understanding is that downscaling basically throws away the effects of font hinting and of any type of algorithm aligning glyph edges to the pixel grid to make them look sharper. So depending on the user's personal tastes, their vis

This is not about Wayland support. It is about "true" fractional scaling support via the protocol mentioned in the article, instead of apps rendering at integer scales and then the compositor scaling them down to achieve a fractio

I don't mind. I will form some opinion after I see the work, and yes, my standards will be different depending on the life circumstances of the OP, especially when it comes to some disability which makes the work more difficult, like b

While it is not strictly necessary in all scenarios, I think you will just not be able to get efficient circuits if you do not have a sense of what type of logic your verilog code snippets map to. I honestly believe that if you do not under

It can infer lots of stuff yes. But sometimes you have to write that part in a somewhat specific way to get synthesis to infer, or you might want the extra control options that the inputs & outputs of a hard block instance offer, or you

The line example is what I thought and then I looked the theorem up in Wikipedia. Thanks for pointing this out.

Higher altitude circular orbits are slower in linear velocity too. Look it up or work it out by equating the centripetal force with the gravitational attraction, which is the condition for a circular orbit.

I can understand switching distros to have a different init system, since doing it manually would be impractical, but you can easily avoid Wayland in any distro... What does Slackware have to do with it?

Or just disabling SMT? SMT can give a good utilization boost and it feels like a shame for it not to be an option, especially since CPUs are not getting faster at the same rate they used to anymore. You can disable it on AMD and Intel x86 c

My question was actually a bit stupid. I wanted to clarify what the parent implied by posting that link, but I guess it was just a citation for the grandparent. Thanks for the interesting info.

There are several threads on r/openSUSE about updates reinstalling packages people had previously uninstalled or unselected during installation, because they were part of an installed pattern. Stuff like small games for example. You ca

Unless we want to be pedantic and take the ambient light reflected off the screen into account. Old CRT monitors, for example, reflected a lot of ambient light and looked grey when turned off in a lit room. And even when operating in a dark

Supposedly every piece of content comes tagged with some color space, so the correct thing to do is to display whatever white #fff maps to in that color space. Allowing the user to override that could be an option.

I find David Smith's former job interesting in relation to the story. I guess that as a print technician he dealt with 2D patterns a lot. This is extremely cool and impressive.

I 'm trying it right now with Gnome in a live session. Getting pretty good vibes, and I have read good things about it. I 've been happy with Arch for years though, but had to try another distro due to a certain large piece of sof

I had to switch from Arch + i3 to Ubuntu 23.04 and gave Gnome a try with the intention to keep using it. I like the look and feel, and the appindicator and tiling assistant extensions are all I would need. The first thing I did (on X11) was

Some symptoms are not OK in an absolute sense. For example, the exhaustion. It can be disabling (along with all the other nice things that go on inside your head) and go on for months without a break.

You can use dconf Editor to search and change all available settings for Gnome, GTK apps and shell extensions. It also shows you the gsettings key so you can easily shove everything into a script if you want.

You would end up with shader engines working for longer on average but with more "dead lanes" then, with no real benefit, right? Sounds like more flexible scheduling would ultimately be needed.

It sounds crappy anyway but, maybe they just did not care? Or the code was a mess and it would be a hassle to implement? I find it really hard to believe that people at freaking Adobe would be unable to comprehend this ...

Two adjacent gray pixels (the star is between two pixels) won't have the same total brightness as a single fully bright one (the star is at the center of a single pixel) if the interpolation is not correct with respect to gamma. So, as

Rigor and mathematical terminology make it simpler and easier, because you can say more things with fewer words and more precision. Mathematicians are not masochists. Compared with truly understanding the theorems and the concepts, the effo
