Woo! I have the same trick in my .bashrc, love to see it spread. If you can, please add a note that if you want to add it to bash you _have_ to use an echo/printf from PROMPT_CMD, if you add it to PS1 bash's (or readline's?)

Adding insult to the injury the thumbnails in the footer are 2800px-wide. The web developer used srcset but every resolution links to the largest image. And they're PNGs not JPEGs, despite the url implying otherwise. Together they weig

Do you have / plan a paper describing butteraugli itself? It seems like that's where most of the magic lies. Also peculiarities of human vision are one of my oddball interests, after compression of course. :)

Maybe use ETag or a similar mechanism? This way we'll need to contact the server, but we save bandwidth that would be spent resending the resource, which is still faster than what we have. Given something like this: <script sr

It's because of these horizontal bars, you can get the same effect with similar graphics: All video interfaces we use transmit data serially, line by line, pixel by pixel. The bars are 16px tall (black + white) so at 60Hz and 1920×1080

The thing that irks me the most is not the practice itself. My problem is with everything else in that post. Note that he has not described it as a morally ambiguous but sometimes unavoidable choice (like you did) but as the most righteous

Do you mean you get '+[m' instead of '+' in front of an added line? If so, this looks suspiciously like ecma formatting escapes (\e[XXXm). Try if calling git diff --no-color, if this helps then something is broken on you

Said reference implementation is written in x86 assembly. 1261 lines, 650 lines sans comments and blanks. To be fair it is extensively commented, but the comments describe what it does, not why. And for fuck's sake, hundreds of lines o

It's not just that. USB nkro keyboards can fail in several interesting ways, so they earned a bad reputation. Paradoxically the hacks that work around the standard (e.g. a keyboard reports as several devices behind a usb hub) are more

This is called application or process checkpointing. There are/were lots of attempts to get it working under linux, some are more some less complete. It was a hot topic several years ago, but the interest sort of fizzled out since then
