I never said it guarantees it. I said that when you discuss entire categories, you use one article in English and another in French, along with examples, and it is applicable to all three interpretations , ergo the distinction is immater

Which itself is completely orthogonal to the point I was making. You can imagine I said “dinosaurs are extinct” and « les dinosaures ont disparu » if that makes you feel better. > That is, at best, a highly informal proposition That’s wh

“Cats meow” is “about” the whole of what makes up the category as opposed to parts of it. I thought it quite clear that that’s what I meant. If I ask you “could you please tell me more about Barack Obama?”, I would expect you to tell me abo

Somehow, that reminds me: when I was younger and started learning programming, I had a phase where I seemed to hate most optional whitespace that wasn’t indentation. So each line would be indented to the proper level, but the rest of the li

Interestingly, when you speak about a category as a whole, in English, you use the null article (“cats meow” or “I like apples”), whereas in French, you would use the definite article (« les chats miaulent », « j’aime les pommes »).

> The first thing that caught me off guard — and honestly, who would’ve expected this to be the memorable part — was IDE support, or the near-total lack of it. I would have completely expected that.

Not as far as I’m aware? They of course require the target app to be compatible with the way they export them, but I don’t think they vet them manually. At the very least, on my phone, the apps it agrees to export to include Chrome and Bi

It’s a bit ironic that Apple is the one that lets you export them.

From your description, I thought “wait, is this going to be Andrew Gelman?” It is. (For context: https://youtu.be/ZmbrsbYwRWw )

Yeah, I set it to “warm: less”, “enthusiastic: less” and “emoji: less” and it was much more bearable than I remembered it being before. Although it does love to “separate” questions when it thinks.

Still better than my Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, which I bought in May 2019 (I guess it was my bad to buy it a full year after release) and which received its last ever update in August 2020. Ditched it for an iPhone SE. Too bad, I did like th

I meant it more in the sense that “you need one or the other” rather than “some cases require one and some other cases require the other”.

How long ago was that? I tried Debian about 15-20 years ago and I don’t recall encountering that issue. (The issue I do remember encountering was random kernel panics that I didn’t have with Ubuntu on the same machine.)

Sure, but mutual recursion might require `goto` for example. Or an explicit state machine.

Well, I said “with djxl”, and Chrome/Firefox use jxl-rs which happens to apparently be currently somewhat slower for that use-case (but libjxl being faster shows it doesn’t have to intrinsically be the case), and Safari uses libjxl but

And you might want the cache to either take up less space or hold more images.

Right, so in that hypothetical scenario where your bandwidth is over ~40MB/s, the bandwidth saving isn’t so relevant. That sounds a bit tautological?

It’s a measurement error: the `hyperfine` command uses `jxl_cli --speedtest` which, by default, does a warmup run that ends up in hyperfine’s measured time.

Do you? I just tried it locally, and decoding a 4.9MB, 6000×4000 JPEG with djpeg took about 400ms; decoding its losslessly-recompressed JXL (4.15MB) single-threaded with djxl took 300ms.

Thanks. My workaround was to use Chrome’s inspector to disable the CSS rule that made the text grey.

Could we please not make text light grey on white? It’s just barely AA compliant when bolded. https://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html#fg=96...
