I use Krita if I need CMYK, but I don't do much print work anymore. (Both work great on Linux.)

Maybe on Mac. Works great on Linux at 4k+ with an nvidia.

@dang, just wanted to say thank you for providing related threads, and also thank you for your even-handed moderation even on items you might disagree with; your care really shows on contentious threads and certainly elevates the level of d

Are you talking about a laptop power supply vs an ATX desktop power supply? Even most enthusiast ATX power supplies that I've seen don't use SMT for the main power board, probably because of the weight of the components. For examp

It is absolutely an OS issue, but neither mobile OS has any incentive at all to do anything to make PWA's actually work. In fact, they have every incentive to make sure they don't work. You can see this in their constant regressio

All Apple has to do is change the APIs from version to version and poorly document the changes. Would Apple do such a thing? Of course not. Apple is too noble and good for that -- exactly like how they work with WebRTC right now.

Most people buy pickups currently probably don't really think CO2 emissions are a big deal, but perhaps there's an undiscovered pickup market that Ford's going to tap into; perhaps an urbanite who normally wouldn't consi

Perfect for taking the boat to the lake on the weekend. ... well, unless you actually back it into the lake on the boat ramp! Hmm..

The mercury didn't leak out when you dropped a watch battery on the floor.

Maybe they'll just take 30% of any crypto mined on their card. That seems fair.

Sounds useful for Ebola patients. Dehydration is apparently the thing that kills you the fastest. However, it could be very hazardous to your (very loving) friend.

tl;dr: researchers discovered that pumping liquid perfluorocarbons, which can absorb large amounts of oxygen, directly into the anus of the tested mammals (not humans, yet) can help them survive even in low oxygen (or even completely depriv

In this case, this gas would be injected directly into the rectum, so you could switch back to lungs as soon as the lungs were clear (or run both simultaneously). At least, that's the theory.

Nor can you store gasoline for long unless you stabilize it (and even then), and certainly not safely in most residences. Classic car owners run into this issue, as do the diesel tanks for generators in datacenters (diesel is much more stab

Even though TOTP is provably safer than SMS, it looks like the reason why they want SMS/push as a "primary" is so that they can suck in more phone numbers, since hardware keys have an additional cost that most people won&#x27

Read my comment again. You will see that what I'm actually saying is that McDonalds and other large national chains would actually end up stronger after hiking minimum wage.

by skynet-9000 5y ago
That is true, but it is why I said "nearly". The largest cost in any fast food restaurant is almost certainly labor.

by skynet-9000 5y ago
If the U.S. were to double the minimum wage from $7 to $15, it would make sense to invest in robotics firms, or perhaps the largest fast food chains like McDonald's. Why? Because lower-price restaurants would have a choice: dramaticall

It's a lot more risky for the business though, which means that more marginal areas will not have a McDonald's if they can't do the volume.

I agree, but when compared to Andy Griffith (the country rube sheriff?), and everything just seemed more "wholesome"; perhaps an idealistic tale of days gone by, but also perhaps an aspirational tale for those who might value the

I'm picturing the same, but my guess is that it's using a time-synced serializability graph or MVCC in some way. However, even a "basic" distributed lock system (like a consistently-hashed in-memory DB, sharded across re
