It works in Chrome, but most viewers will fix minor corruption in PDFs. qpdf/poppler will tell you if they detect any issues, and they both say it's fine. So I suspect the issue is either your viewer, or the file somehow got corru

I'd be interested if anything open source exists that can do jbig/jpeg2k pdfs (separation + compression) like DjVU. I think archive.org ships PDFs like this, but don't know what they're using to do it (possibly something

This happened to Apple too, while logging API errors (CVE-2014-1317 - in this case it was hex-encoded). Given the frequency that this occurs, I wonder if it'd be a good practice to use a sentinel value for a password during testing and

Any idea what the fat content of cream would have been? I know they’ve got single/double cream in England and light/heavy cream on this side of the pond, but no idea what it actually is if you make it the old fashioned way. (Skim

The original recipe (quoted in the article) called for all cream and only "sugar rosewater" for sweetening (no amount specified), frozen on salted ice for one hour with no churning or mixing. The "updated" recipe was jus

I was a little disappointed at the write up too. They're cutting the cream with milk (typical in modern recipes) without explanation beyond what sounds like "I tossed the recipe and adopted a modern one". There is no discussi

There was once an iOS app called "Baking with Dorie" that had a similar presentation. It caught my attention because I was interested in novel ways to represent recipes. It's no longer in the app store, but there are a few r

I doubt Dropbox gains much from deduping between customers, but I'd love to see some data to the contrary. Last I knew they weren't sharing that, but most of my data is unique to me and anything I'd want to encrypt is unique

On my older High Sierra box, /usr/X11 is a symlink to /opt/X11. Catalina ships with /usr/X11 symlinked to ../private/var/select/X11. So it should still be possible to get X11 to work.

Back when I lived in Las Vegas, I had heard that the monorail didn't go to the airport because of lobbying/complaints from Taxi companies. If true, I suspect a tunnel would meet a similar fate.

Yeah, I really like EDN for configuration. It is a nice sweet spot between JSON (too much syntactic noise to be human friendly) and YAML (human friendly, but much harder to parse).

I've even had an optician replace the lenses in glasses I just purchased with ones made from a different material. (I don't remember the materials involved, but I was getting chromatic aberrations in the first one.)

Yup, it looks like I glossed over the optimization part and latched onto the circuits part.

Have you looked at Propagator Networks? It's a fascinating computation model that I believe was originally proposed by Gerald Sussman. The original use case/example was electrical circuits.

Apple has backup and restore of device files and the keychain. You can explicitly mark files as "don't back up" and mark keychain items as "this device only" (those items will get backed up, but need a key from the

Evernote isn't too bad - all the data is cached locally in xml files with attachments - one directory per document. It is almost xhtml - the top level content wrapped in an en-note tag and the images are en-media tags. I agree that it&
