It's tax deductible for the company to offer employees health care, but individual plans bought by individuals on the exchanges are not. So it's effectively subsidized in one case but not the other.

Did I just upload my private SSL keys to the NSA?

It's not, we developed it from scratch w/o knowledge of the gimp feature. (I'm one of the devs).

Hmmm. That's not ideal. I added some more servers, so hopefully it can at least connect to the worker now. Sounds like I have some JavaScript debugging to do. (I'm one of the devs)

Wow, yeah, that didn't work right. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll take a deeper look tomorrow. (I'm one of the devs)

We probably have a bug. Please try another browser and hopefully I can nail that issue soon. (I'm one of the devs)
278.
by jacobn 13y ago
Yeah, we need to figure out a way to get people to do the first time what you did the second time...

by jacobn 13y ago
Yeah, it actually works really well on vector art. If you're into that sort of thing, check out the sick bg color removal and alpha channel "recovery" by zooming way in on the boundaries. (I'm one of the devs)

Ah. Ooops. Sorry! Will have to think a little about that one. I guess there's a reason it's team red vs team blue... (I'm one of the devs)

by jacobn 13y ago
That's right, we don't handle hair yet. See the bottom of the page. (I'm one of the devs)

Yeah, sometimes the thumbnailing doesn't quite succeed (that's all done client side). Somewhat unclear why. Still some debugging to do...

They lacked some of the HTML5 features we needed in the client :-/ (the detection script should be accurate, so if they add them it should "just work")

Ah. Good point. We recently changed the shift key from "hold to pan" to toggle between pan / erase. Should probably change it to another key now that the operation is different.

Yup, they're pretty sweet ;)

Sorry, that's me being slow scaling out the backend. I've added a couple more boxes. (Haven't added auto-scaling yet)

Undo is sorely needed. Just deployed a smaller brush size (30px instead of 40px when zoomed out). It should get picked up when you reload the page (though default asset caching might hold it for another hour. Well, well)

Thanks!

We only auto-show it during that time. The hope is that it triggers you to click the button if you need it, but lets you ignore it if you already know the drill... (all these wonderful tradeoffs between "first visit" vs "repeat visit" - and

Ah, yes, and some JS for the frontend... ;)
291.
by jacobn 13y ago
Yeah, it should probably be a little smaller (and note what happens when you zoom in)

Image processing backend is java, website is scala + play framework ( http://www.playframework.com/ )

Just re-deployed the backend. It should reconnect automatically, but that's not been tested to 100%. Reloading the page should resolve it if it doesn't auto-recover. (some memory woes on the backend as well, so restarting is having some hic
294.
by jacobn 13y ago
Yeah, we're getting some null pointers in the worker. Not entirely clear why that's happening (it of course wasn't happening an hour ago...). I think I stuck a race condition in there somewhere and it's getting exposed for the first time. P

No ;)

See the bottom of the page (yes, it could be more clear): you need good edges in the image. Ideally also good chromatic separation.
297.
by jacobn 13y ago
Yeah, we need to add both undo and reset/clear. The help should have shown during the upload / init!?

Also, one of our usability headaches is that people draw OUTSIDE of the lines - any pixel marked green WILL BE IN THE RESULT. Now, that's not how people actually use it at first - they "just scribble" (which our example might exacerbate), a

The brush size isn't actually fixed relative to the image - zoom in and you'll see what I mean (zoom with the mouse wheel) (Disclaimer: I'm one of the devs)
