Do you believe enabling hardware video decoding in Firefox was a trivial effort?

The backlight of an LCD isn't itself polarized. A TN LCD display is made of two orthogonal polarization filters with the liquid crystals in between. In their relaxed (twisted) state, the crystals rotate the polarization of the light so

If I seriously wanted to move object destruction off-thread, I would use at least a dedicated thread with a channel, so I could make sure the dropper is done at some point (before the program terminates, at the latest). It also avoids start

As already mentioned, Rust wasn't copying anything; the `HashMap` is not a `Copy`-able type, so it was just moved around (it's also not very large: all its items are behind a pointer to the heap). All you did was move the drop fro

Can't we do both? Like, the content of the UDP packet is the output of `date -uIs | gpg --sign`.

I want to know more about why automatics can't do this, but Wikipedia only has an unsourced claim that "gliding vehicles equipped with torque converter-based automatic transmissions [causes] damage due lack of lubrication." I

Google for a "reflective diffraction grating". If you shape the surface a certain way - grooves with a size near the visible wavelength, AFAI understand - you can get the reflected light to interfere with itself. The imperfections

The German Wikipedia says that the idea it was being used to humiliate musicians is a later one: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schandfl%C3%B6te Translated by DeepL: A pranger flute was a medieval and early modern pillo

SSE xmm registers might be 128 bits wide, but the precision is still 64 bits. The additional (high) bits are zeroed out. What you're seeing is not excess precision due to wide registers but excess precision due to optimization and cons

Couldn't you have an API with a write() return value that you can await to trigger a drain(), but which you can also leave unused, in which case it acts like the current write()?

In my brief dive into colorspaces I got the impression that CIELAB isn't actually that uniform and there are better spaces available, such as DIN99o (actually DIN 6176). Is this right?

The mainline kernel doesn't have a stable ABI, so you're stuck maintaining a fork, forever.

Yes. If they did this, private commits might even leak into packfiles fetched from GitHub by git.

Don't overestimate the Intel GPUs. My current system uses a 530 which is getting pushed to its limits trying to render the desktop at 60 Hz, either UHD on AC or FHD on battery. Forget UHD on battery, that doesn't even manage to mo

How about requiring all implementations of a patent to be open source? This really should have been a requirement for software patents from the start, given how difficult software is to reverse-engineer.
