Oh, yes, very successfully.

Yes, just moving items from one place to another. How dare they make that illegal.

Similar style of argument that was used for piracy back in the day. It's just copying bytes.

Belgium and Estonia, at least. It's part of the national id.

It's included on the national id smartcard in several EU countries.

I suppose it'd be part of DocuSign's job to validate whether the given electronic signatures are legally binding in the relevant legal systems. If they don't, then their service seems useless.

Funny part is, at the end, a lot of people will "Print to PDF" the resulting PDF, which strips electronic signatures (last time I checked).

TL;DR: The document was signed using a signature issued by a country that was not recognized by the other as being a legal electronic signature provider.

Because you signed using your private key.

A digital signature made using a government-issued smartcard is always a legal signature in Europe.

I've tried wikis, markdown documents, cloud docs, etcetera. Eventually I settled on Word documents, shared over Resilio Sync. It's the easiest option to also allow images to be included, and to keep control over my own files. And

I like this idea. Using SVG on websites is quite fun to break the rigidness. Text selection seems very wonky, sadly.

A large portion of the Internet, or perhaps just what Google search somehow ends up optimising towards, seems to fall into the category of celebrity gossip magazines. I do remember that the more technical content, and all the tiny user cre

Math notation feels like a write-only language somehow. I can read and understand undocumented code with relative ease. Reading math notation without any documentation seems pretty much impossible, otoh.

You can get pretty close without expensive calibration gear, using consumer gear that has a reasonable factory sRGB calibration. https://blog.kaetemi.be/2021/02/01/calibrating-an-inkjet-pri...

VR displays. Probably the color of the sun in linear RGB color space for rendering purpose, then converted to the display color space.

The sRGB color #ffffff should never mean "the brightest white on this monitor", unless you're using an average CRT. Just imagine you're using an HDR display, where the brightest white is as bright as the sun.

I get what you mean, but... the color profile of the image is the profile of the display where the image can be displayed without adjustment. Think of it as the display profile of the guy that sent you the image. The magic math transforms t

For correct editing operations, and correct display. Sadly, it's not pedantry, it's reality. The 0.5 value is not half the brightness of 1.0 in sRGB. It merely means half the power output to your CRT. If you want correct editing o

Because your pixels need to transform from the image color profile to the display color profile. By default this all falls back to sRGB, which is not the "ground truth pixel value" you may be assuming it is.

You can completely avoid linking it, if you don't use any C or C++ standard library functionality.

Then they can still use a middleman. The idea is that any data ownership can be transferred. No middleman monopoly or lock-in.

Still using Winamp here. It works, it looks good, and it doesn't take half my screen space.

Yep. Having to look up every API call, versus taking the time to memorise the (relevant parts of the) API, makes the difference if you want to be a 10x coder. Knowing how to look up and apply things is nice. Being able to discern which of t

I learned C# 2.0, when the offline MSDN was still a thing. That language environment I can still work in with ease, from memory, without consulting online resources. Good offline documentation (and good library design) works wonders.

The OO story generally falls apart once you go outside of the module/library, and want to actually treat objects like generic objects, and have new custom behaviour for some types of objects. Either you end up with 'scary' en
