That is the EXACT process I automated the non-redacting parts of using cron jobs and task folders at a past job. Flatten everything to a set of just images. Have normal human staff draw black boxes over anything to be redacted. Compose a ne

This is a terrible era for it, but IMO Wayland is a portion of the software stack that at least _in part_ really needs funding provided by educational grants. Fund professors and such to maintain it, with some students (probably earning bo

It might help to think of it as two IPC 'servers' written in rust that happen to have the C ABI interfaces as their communication protocol.

I detest auto-play videos and in fact am usually happy when some random news site I'm reading an article on gets blocked by not having DRM.

Intuitively I knew this class of problem was theoretical only BS when it came up in college... I hadn't considered that sort of strange effect though! Makes me feel not so bad for 'never really getting it' because I just cou

It would be nice if --help reports the (program) default as the default value for an option. A different option might dump a fully evaluated configuration. While a third might exit without doing anything.

Is there a standard python library that does annotate if an argument is user provided or instead (just) the default value? This is extremely important for configuration priority. Program defaults (generally) should be the lowest priority l

Most of us (myself included) are not medical doctors specialized in this field. Could you please expand your acronyms? I only know of CFS (if it's the same one) because a cousin has it.

They'd play it for free* but how many would pay? Would that number go down if DRM were involved? Personally, Steam's about where I draw the line. They've given me enough value as an ecosystem and their native 'DRM&#x27

The most vulnerable, at least among those who have a job at least, often have the most draconian restrictions on when and what they can do. Believe they are being treated like robots. Maybe even literally like gears rented by the hour, not

Explicitly clear, but otherwise not overly specific, medication instructions would be best. Say exactly what matters. E.G. 'Take once a day at a similar time.' VS overly specific but not required 'take in the morning /

My point was to reserve the generic term for something that's really intelligent, and thus deserving of rights an intelligent being should have, rather than what things really are. 'Machine Learning', 'Neural Nets'

How about: We can call it 'AI' when it should have the same rights as any other intelligence. Human, or otherwise?

Reminds me of a GPU's general workflow. (like the sibling comment, 'isn't that the obvious way this is done'? Different drawing areas being hit by 'firmware' / 'software' renderers?)

A safer process here would be 'fail open', require those with a vested interest to prove they require that the public NOT have those abilities rather than the present default of owners (buyer's / end users) rights being

They want to call it anything other than a tax. It's a specific tax, on a particular class of better educated workers in specific jobs.

Valve, could we please get a Ryzen 390-ish Steamdeck platform refresh? Or maybe if Intel wants game devs to test on their GPUs they'd cut a small deal to make an Intel Xe refresh.

Correct, what you state is implicit in my meaning of a moment, rather than a specification for a potential moment.

Sad for me... https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.ht... Moments that are fixed in time: store the event in UTC and record the rest in a string. A description of a moment should instead by sto

Due to the tilt of the earth the length of a solar day is not constant (unless you're very near the equator along a specific, probably wobbly, line). Even now, obtaining solar noon is comparatively easy. Then add half of an earth&#x27

Most of that's pretty good. Compression: For anything that ends up large it's probably desired. Though consider both algorithm and 'strength' based on the use case carefully. Even a simple algorithm might make things f

I suspect you're correct about basic / true research and discovery of 'the new'. Also probably about that US Gov funding. I've heard it's more about knowing how to write a grant than it is about being worthy o

Period might be the best word. Contemporary is also a contender I thought of first, before disqualifying it for implying 'modern'.
