Reminds me of this little map I created some time ago: https://ibb.co/TPVMCR3 My intent was to simplify the shapes of state borders as much as possible while retaining the topological (?) relationship between states. But th

or you could use 3-digit octal (so 000-777) for a 512 color palette, which arguably would be even more simple. as a bonus you can use it to color file permissions :)

Yea, I think avoiding sorting is kinda the whole point here

That is very rose-tinted view of the era. In reality in early 00s lots of software had their own wacky UI toolkits. MS Office is of course the most notable example, but also iirc all of Adobe/Macromedia or every 3d modeling (Lightwave,

fyi zyxel has some reasonably priced 2.5G/10G base-t switches with or without poe++. I got myself XS1930-12HP when I updated my home network to wifi6 and 10G. The biggest annoyance was that some features are gated behind "advanced

2009 was right at the cusp of "cattle not pets" mindset, and many ways a transitional time from physical servers to virtual servers to disposable single-app VMs.

I thought dosbox had its own x86 emulation layer so it should work fine on any arch?

The HP LX series (95LX, 100LX, 200LX) is one of my favorites. It also fits the description "smaller than VHS casette" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_95LX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H

It's not that forgotten, for example int10h font collection (which probably is the biggest bitmap font resource) prominently shows aspect-ratio corrections for the fonts https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/

The problem with checked exceptions afaik was far more in the execution than in the idea itself. And also late 90s-early 00s was different time in general.

I don't think effects alone solve function coloring problem, in worst case they make it worse because every library can have its own colors

I think the downsides of option 2 are overstated here. In lots of cases you don't care about the "value of async", you just want code that works well enough and option 2 does accomplish that in anything that is not perf criti

I thought it was pretty well known that everything related to strings in C stdlib (including all str... functions) is bad. You just need to bring in your own string library.

Other way of looking at the question is if you could make focus stacking better by using the full multi-view dataset? Afaik focus stacking essentially does depth estimation so it seems like multiple views would help with that. Another way w

My intuition is that in theory focus stacking should not be necessary as preprocessing step for 3dgs (or photogrammetry). Does anyone know if there is any recent developments in this regard? Focus stacking generally is not perfect process a

That seems very outdated? Doesn't `shutdown` resolve the problem here?
