What is your complaint here exactly?

Title is fine. The key is the plural, smartwatche s . From the actual article: > No geodetic station is involved in this study, as one of the smartwatches serves as the base station.

There are like at least half dozen open source terminal emulators that have decent performance text rendering if you want to look into how it is really done. It is not simple, but at this point I feel it is a largely solved problem.

> But I'm unaware of rendering engines that do alpha blending in something other than linear or SRGB. Well, spectral rendering is a thing, kinda bypasses the problem of color blending for rendering in some cases.

Kingbright recently released 01005 (0.45mm x 0.25mm x 0.2mm) sized LEDs, which afaik are one of the smallest ones easily available. One neat idea would be to pack those on DIP14 sized pcb, making tiny neat character display. I guess somethi

Those look like normal 2.5-3mm LEDs, that is big difference to 1mm² LEDs. The circle disc from OPs link has 2.5x higher LED density, and they could be probably packed even more densely in a grid.

Elastic II is very neat by preserving drainage basins. But Antarctica looks really distorted, in a way that doesn't seem necessary? Could that be fixed somehow?

for blending oklab almost always works better than srgb (linear or gamma).

Doesn't nvme have lot of log capabilities, like telemetry log etc?

Personally I think these problems are a sign that posix fs/io apis are just not that good. Or rather they have been stretched and extended way past their original intent/design. Stuff like zenfs give interesting glimpse of what co

The difference is that Windows 11 was released 4 years ago, and Windows 10 just reached EOL. And we havent heard anything yet about Windows 12, and MS still seems very intent on doubling down on their chosen path. In contrast Windows 7 was

Windows 11 has significantly worse adoption rates than 10 or 7, more comparable to the notoriously poor Vista. It is not just few HNers complaining here. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/10/windows-11s-ado

I have been using forgejo for a very small sideproject of mine and so far I have enjoyed it, but admittedly I use probably like 10% of the features. But sometimes that is all you need, and forgejo is quite nice and simple to configure and

Penny pinching. Afaik asymmetric PON is the cheapest possible network tech at scale.

by zokier 1y ago
Aren't most residential fiber deployments PONs which generally do not offer symmetric bandwidth? E.g. 10G-PON has 10G down / 2.5G up.

In lot of contexts scaling down is far more important than scaling up. In that sense scalability is cost-optimization; instead of provisioning fixed capacity that is enough for (predicted) peak loads, you can scale based on actual demand an

Incoming calls should be subject to acls and default-deny policy should be practical. This means that - caller identity should not be spoofable - identities should form hierarchies and groups so you can allow whole organizations instead of

I feel the fundamental problem is the idea of phone number being secret or private in the first place. It is just very weak form of access control, I believe we can do much better these days.

Isn't the software (licensing) situation for second-hand enterprise switches bit iffy?

It is remarkable that this is accomplished with relatively modest setup and effort, and the results are already great. Makes me wonder what you could get with high-end gear (e.g. 61mp sony a7rv and the new 100mm 1.4x macro) and capturing mo

Not necessarily sqlite, but rocksdb is looking like promising option for foundational storage system. You have things like zenfs which runs rocksdb directly on nvme storage, and then you have lot of higher level systems on top of it like Ce
