OSX scaling is implemented such that non-int scaling makes pixel-perfect rendering literally impossible. (Hello moire!) Windows has pretty perfect handing for non-int scaling, though it's on apps to do the right thing. Modern browsers

You know what "decimate" meant , but what it means in modern English is different. It's less the "real" meaning than the "original" meaning, but age doesn't make it more correct. "axing a ques

Takeoff is done at max power as best practice, not because it's physically strictly required power for lift-off. Yes you'd need to reduce weight tables and friends, but a certified detuning is totally possible, even if an in-the-f

I keep seeing "EdDSA is faster than RSA" but is it ever usefully faster? I imagine it's maybe milliseconds of difference per secure connection initialization, and so it feels deceptive to market it as (usefully) faster.

It is because everyone else is being responsible that you have been able to enjoy your irresponsibilities without consequence so far.

This is one of the few things it's critical to have a defense force for, but it's not what police are primarily used for. I would love less counter-protest action in general, but it feels pretty reasonable to demand equal counter-

There's a lot going on in the space, but it's still frustrating when fans get such large blind spots for cars not made by their favorite manufacturer. It's a tale as old as time, though.

The employer can't modify the specifics of the resignation by "moving it up", since that's not what the conditional resignation offered. They can fire her, sure, but they can't call it "resignation". You c

The emphasis of "generally" is poorly placed, but more importantly they also imply that you can tell if something halts by running it, which is only true if you run it long enough for it to halt! (Which is the real crux of the hal

Fudging do numbers illicitly is already a huge no-no in the US.

Is this a problem big enough to be worth solving? There are places in the US where people live in no-income-tax states but shop across the border on no-sales-tax states. This is obviously an abuse, but it's never been enough of a probl

Six figures is only low income for certain areas (not the whole bay area), and only for households with enough children . For households, two 50k parents is an easy 100k. I do not believe six figures entry level jobs are common outside t

Sound recording, reproduction, and even instrument resonance are usually not a perfectly flat EQ also, so transposing up or down can hit different frequency-dependent distortions.

Your example is a case where piracy had no profit impact, but it's not the general case. The books are priced in part based on assumptions about how many people can read them over time. A book at a library can probably only be read by

It's not intentional, but The Market doesn't care if it is: They optimize for Chrome by virtue of optimizing in their choice of browser, usually Chrome. High usage of Chrome causes Chrome to be even more preferable.

The separate primaries make it a wildly different game. True run-off (common primary) is used in some states, such as California. In the case where one party wins both run-off slots, the system naturally selects the moderate. Great! However

The title doesn't say that it's open source, though. (nor its license) It's specifically advertising itself based on its language, not its qualities.

These points are badly oversold. Power is out for hours every few years for most people. Anyone who doesn't have AC is choosing not to pay for a portable unit. Drinking water is absolutely not at risk in the bay area. Air quality is ba

I work on Firefox and I cannot believe how seriously people are discussing this. At its core, people outrageously under-estimate how complex browsers are. Nevermind "how fast the web is moving", but even Servo cannot reliably rend

I do not assume all people want to rent, merely that there exist renters who would prefer to buy but do not. People do rent for many reasons, but in my cohort the primary reason is "cannot afford to buy", and I don't think th
