I never said that idea of using single number is bad in itself, what is bad is forcing this single number and it's calculation on everyone else like it is some biblical revelation instead of calculating it ad-hoc (and modifying calculation as need requires), I can only hope c-suites can add and multiply

as for if you can compare multidimensional quantities - of course you can do it and it is done every day with engineering and medical data, it's just tad more complicated than adding and multiplying so it's a no-go for c-suite

you cannot expect people earning six figures to understand actual math, can you?

it's hard to argue that "occasional accent rendering issue" is better than "occasional zero-click issue", but rewriting code of any actual complexity is hard in practice... and we are talking about only one library here, with thousands libraries and utils to go

surprising info, I thought this was supposed to be the part about "display controller taking care of any additional issues", thanks for link with details, will read it with interest

I stand corrected, thank you for follow up

It already is replaced by HarfBuzz https://harfbuzz.github.io

Yes, all those well paid C-level managers cannot handle multiple units so they require everyone to use one “easy to understand unit so that everything is easy to compare and micromanage”

For me, being old time user, (ab)using any subpixel layouts for text rendering and antialiasing is counterproductive and (especially with current pixel densities, but also in general) introduces much more issues that it actually ever solved

“Whole pixel/grayscale antialiasing” should be enough and then specialized display controller would handle the rest

The real issue is the effort required to rewrite everything without introducing new bugs resulting from a misunderstanding of the original code

Web browser is something I would pay subscription in a heartbeat, and I mean it, it is my actual OS now

No sane person can

-173C is just twice your typical winter in Yakutia

Four years ago there was demo of exactly that in GTA5 https://www.ign.com/articles/experimental-ai-tool-makes-gta-...

Every iOS and android device supports mouse and keyboard at this point

Google is in the process of making chrome os just another android device

why? yt as standalone service does not need specific browser to exist... or at least it should not need one, just good business plan

official company statement says that null characters were not cause of the problem

It's like premium currency in games that don't want you to realize how much real money you are spending and premium currency packets are always constructed so that you overspend because you cannot get exact amount needed

then you don't need to get more from underground, just cycle what is already there

insert meme: that's the neat part, you don't

wait, wasn't automated image stitching solved like decades ago? hugin, autopano, microsoft ICE...

infinity engine games - baldurs gate, torment, icewind dale

but most uses of osm are leaving default scheme, like public transport, embeded maps etc and defaulr osm scheme is bad to say the least

I stopped using yt app on iOS and instead use browser (safari) with addons

There are different versions of base85, it is in general perfect for dense passwords https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii85

Was this suicide by jumping out of window, like all of high profile suicides in russia?

Doom can run on anything...

Wait, can't web assembly use workers? It would be the same kind of architecture like with workload shared over a range of devices and receiving responses in random order, but in this case from worker threads

Bloclchain is still an answer to question no one knows

Like all the companies that realized that quietly selling highly targetable user data is more profitable than their actual services? See all the "DNA analysis" companies selling data left and right
