No.

That is just cheap cynicism replacing any real insight. You can do better.

The WCAG contrast formula is really not great, and gives very misleading results in plenty of situations.

Yes.

You'd have to be a pretty wealthy thirteen year old for that to be a realistic choice. Also you'd have to be living a decade or two from now.

Why would it take off, if it is treated as an "unprecedented amount of advertising space"?

"My personal wellbeing is the lowest priority" is supposed to somehow inspire people, apparently.

Did they make the decision to kill those people?

Does it work remarkably well? Are bugs significantly less common in open source software? I do not really see any indication of this in practice.
71.
by user-the-name 5y ago
Not at all, any more than FOSS implies security.

by user-the-name 5y ago
Has there really been "wide reconsideration" of that? Or do we like to pretend there has, and that's all done now, but still treat the subject as taboo and avoid it?

Indeed you didn't. But you jumped immediately very strongly to one question, rather than to another. You have been conditioned all your life to question the decisions of the enemy, but to never, ever question the decisions of your own

I am not necessarily saying the choice was wrong. It was one bad option out of many. However, I am challenging the incredibly strong urge people have to absolve those who made the choice of any kind of responsibility for having made it. Y

by user-the-name 5y ago
Absolutely not. Every person involved made a choice, of their own free will. You do not get to absolve the ones you like of responsibility and instead put it all on those who you do not. Choices were made. They had consequences.

Anything that relies on cheap electricity is not going to actually be very green.
77.
by user-the-name 5y ago
Very. It is a terrible API to talk through a modern GPU to, and I doubt any vendor is supporting it as anything but legacy at this point.

Yelling about "free speech" most definitely is a rightwing agenda. Having any real insight into it is not, however.
79.
by user-the-name 5y ago
Because this is an article for Quillette, which is an outlet for far-right propaganda. That is all. It is not in any way an intellectually honest or rigid argument, it is pushing a rightwing agenda.

Then that means you can not render full white.

> but what you say would effectively mean that there is no other possible color besides RGB It would not at all mean that? I don't know why you would think it means that. All I am saying is that a if you draw a vertical line 7 subpi

7-segment letters look significantly different from regular letters. No curved lines, for one.

by user-the-name 5y ago
No, it is not. It is the physically correct way to do it. 50% more red light is emitted than blue or green. That is a red tint. Your eyes aren't going to see that as anything other than a red-tinted line. That is what you will see. Sub

If your stroke is 7 subpixels wide, it will be, for instance, RGBRGBR. That has three Rs, two Gs, and two Bs. That is 50% more red light than blue or green. That is tinted red, no matter how you look at it. Subpixel antialiasing does dist

That is the redundancy after you completely changed the alphabet, though. It is not the redundancy of the actual alphabet that people use, which is far, far higher.

> My point was that for a given language, the writing system tends to evolve to the point where each glyph contains just enough distinguishing features to not confuse it with any other glyph. This is absolutely not true. If this happened

And how do you know that?
88.
by user-the-name 5y ago
And nothing other than murdering thousands of civilians with an atomic bomb could change that?
89.
by user-the-name 5y ago
Would they?
90.
by user-the-name 5y ago
Why would that be needed for that? "Conditional surrender" doesn't mean there are no conditions the other way.
