The art is great on its own, but knowing the constraints it runs under and how one image can look so different, or even animated, based solely on the palette, elevates the art to a whole new level.

Any enterprise install I've ever used has the annoying stuff removed. Small businesses are most likely the ones suffering though.

Some (not all) of your questions may be answered by the linked article near the top of the submitted article, which goes into more detail about how much is lost quantizing to 1 bit (and 1 byte): https://huggingface.co/blog&#

I have a similar habit. I usually do "echo rm ..." or "echo destructive command ..." first, check the output (so wildcards are expanded, etc), and if I'm happy I bring the command back in the history and edit out th

The box isn't the only justification for the higher price. It's just an example. If apple cares that much about the box, imagine the effort they put into the rest of the hardware, software, and experience. I'm not an apple us

For me the realization that the top thread's loop goes AROUND the bottom thread's entire spool is what made it click for me originally.

I should have been more specific. I didn't mind that part as a teaching aid in general, but I thought it was contrived as a possible explanation for what the question authors expected students to visualize when they made the correct an

I'm not convinced that the intended meaning was to consider a rotating reference frame. I think it was simply an oversight that the straight-line answer and the around-a-circle answer aren't the same. A rotating reference frame is

I actually didn't think that part belonged in there. Considering a rotating point of view seemed contrived to me.

The video does go further - it contains some interesting content around how this concept relates to the earth's orbit around the sun, the discrepancy between the duration of an earth day and a 360 degree rotation about the earth's

I've downloaded just the command-line tools before and used 'sdkmanager' to list and download sdk versions and virtual machines, so it is definitely doable without Android Studio, although it isn't obvious (or at least i

select() ought to just fail with EINVAL if nfds is too large. There's probably an argument for the macros as well to fail by default if the file descriptor given is too large.

Lots of replies kind of missed my point (my fault, probably) - I think there are cases where 'int' is the correct type to use, and cases where it is not. I think using 'int' everywhere is probably a mistake, and using &

The best advice I can give is: go for it, and if you get stuck or feel like something in Rust is more difficult than it should be, reach out for help. Once in a while you may really be hitting an unpolished piece of the language, but in mos

I wear two hats when I develop in go. One is for robust long-lived systems and for those I don't mind verbose error handling. The other is small quick scripts and for those I really wish I had a non-verbose option.
