They bought Java (not javascript)

They bought Sun, which “owned” Java and JavaScript.

The trademark was originally issued to Sun Microsystems on 6 May 1997, and was transferred to Oracle when they acquired Sun in 2009.

I didn’t add a star at the end for the word search, so at least for that example, the sarcastic ones were all ‘amazingly’ and consequently not counted, and the ‘amazing’ at the end seems literal. I haven’t looked at any other cases, though.

A Python-specific question is better suited to the [email protected] community instead of the general programming one.

Glad you’re so appreciative and worked through it! I gladly share, discuss, and respond.

I’ll have to read up on palette filters. :) I do semi-regularly use ffmpeg, but palette filters are not something I have heard or used before.

I assume in this case it’s a downsampling into fewer colors, evading the issues of almost-same-colors?

Especially given the last square/check pattern makes me thing of codecs splitting into square blocks and then encoding those. It could make sense that this division leads to different results for one reason or another, which then produces a check pattern without it being there before.

For comparison, “amazing” occurs six times.

Only one of them barely reaching 200. For the size of the Linux kernel I find these numbers surprisingly low.

I don’t see a sharp drop as a sign of corporate oversight at all.

Stuff may be tackled en-batch. Or individuals can care. Or it can be an organic team decision or effort.

1, 2, 4, 5, 6 all look fine resized in the post and full size

3 looks fine full size but has slight visual artifacts resized in the post (check/square pattern)

I can barely see it on my monitor. So on worse monitors it may not even be visible. #272a31 vs #262b31

animated webp may also be an option

The screenshot is from my desktop with wide enough screen on Lemmy web (programming.dev).

The issue is one of scaling.

When I open the image without being resized into the website layout, it has the following visual pattern:

When I zoom out to 50% it looks (almost?) fine

Did you scale the source with ffmpeg? Do you have a visual pattern in your console background? The simplest solution would be to have a solid color as background. The second best to render a small enough size that it does not get resized in the browser.

At 1920x1038, it’s very big right now. I’m surprised the font is big enough to be readable. I assume you scaled it up or have a high dpi display resulting in this.

I’ll use a gif with each frame being a different country flag. Then I can access them by frame index.

That visual pattern compression though

Marketing-speak, not saying much at all. Not even a hint in what they “discovered”, what they plan to change, or plan to do. No acknowledgement of previous issues, making me doubt the “working with the incredible global community” as pure marketing-speak.

Can you be more specific? What in what they present is bad use of AI?

What makes you think anyone blindly trusted it?

They pointed out how it was almost correct, and the two places they had to correct. Obviously, they verified it.

There and at other times, they talked about similar approaches of generating a starting point rather than “blindly trusting” or anything like that.

Blazor allows JavaScript like interactions, allows the developer to write in C# but gets rendered serverside

Blazor can compile .NET to Webassembly and run that in the web-browser.

Probably because it’s much simpler to integrate than Jenkins.

Their own CI system ‘Actions’ is in open alpha.

Honestly, I’m glad they didn’t use Jenkins. Managing it is a convoluted mess. (I don’t have experience with Woodpecker CI nor with Forgejo Actions in particular, though.)

Metapad is a small, fast and completely free text editor for Windows (95/98/NT/XP/Vista/7) with similar features to Microsoft Notepad but with many extra (and rather useful) features. It was designed to completely replace Notepad since it includes all of Notepad’s features and much, much more.

Oh, that’s cool, in only 200 kB! It’s a GUI app, though.

and use CRLF (on Windows) for newlines with at most a setting to configure it in the editor for that session

How would you handle text files with LF newlines being opened on Windows? Recognize and use LF too? Write CRLF on newly added lines? Save everything as CRLF, effectively transforming all LF?
