Every time you open anything in office applications you get these small pop-ups

  • See what changes others did?
  • We added a new feature, do you want to see it?

There used to be boxed ice cream with blueberry and egg yolk flavor. Loved it as a kid, got discontinued by the ice cream truck that had it. No replacement found. I probably won't even like it since I have forgotten the taste at this point.

It would kinda go along to "do not go gentle into the good night" like it was presented in Interstellar.

I made do with my IDE, even after getting a developer job. Outside shenanigans involving a committed password, and the occasional empty commit to trigger a build job on GitHub without requiring a new review to be approved, I still don't use the commandline a lot.

But it's true, if you managed to commit and push, you are OK. Even the IDE will make fixing most merges simple.

I got a Peugeot 208. It's small, and ok in all aspects except the software. Typical bad car UI. It works with cabled Android Auto, so for long drives that's more than fine. But touch screen is still old, and the app/site hasn't let me log in for a few weeks now... So I can't remote start heating.

But it's a great car that I bought used, for driving to and from work. Looks good, yellow color, parking sensors and rear camera for my blind ass. But is also probably not available in America for all I know, I live in Europe.

Already been explained a few times, but GPU encoders are hardware with fixed options, with some leeway in presets and such. They are specialized to handle a set of profiles.

They use methods which work well in the specialized hardware. They do not have the memory that a software encoder can use for example to comb through a large amount of frames, but they can specialize the encoding flow and hardware to the calculations. Hardware encoded can not do everything software encoders do, nor can they be as thorough because of constraints.

Even the decoders are like that, for example my player will crash trying to hardware decode AV1 encoded with super resolution frames, frames that have a lower resolution that are supposed to be upscale by the decoder. (a feature in AV1, that hardware decoder profiles do not support, afaik.)

Our company did a thing like this, focusing on the manager and above. They got password and authenticator codes out of them and admin access to the slack...

Good method to have users learn about critical thinking.

I don't know what's required for KLWP support in a launcher, but KLWP is a live wallpaper with touch interaction. Don't know if stock support that on my phone. But some cool setup like media player functionality, time and such, in the font and size I want. And some other disguised shortcuts.

But for me in actual Nova, it being able to style app icons individually, swipe actions on app icons, and the dock at the bottom being able to slide to have more apps. And pretty standard now, but swipe up for app drawer and down for notifications. It works especially well with OnePlus gestures that I'm still holding on to.

It's just the sum. Monitors have 8bit per color, making for 24bit per pixel, giving the millions mentioned. 16bit is actually 4bit per color and then another 4 for a single of those colors. But this has downsides as explained in the article when going form higher bit depth to lower.

HDR is 10bit per color, and upwards for extreme uses. So it's sorta true they are 24 or 30 bit, but usually this isn't how they are described. They normally talk about the bit depth of the individual color.

Well. Assuming the cost of splitting water is lower than the energy produced from the same amount of hydrogen.

After using it, coming to python and not having a super easy way to work with dates is a pain.

But DateTime in dotNet have horrible timezone support. It's essentially either local timezone, not timezone or utc. And the utc part is somewhat rough. There's some datetimeoffset and the like, but they too just don't let working with timezones be easy.

We avoid that, because just at a glance you might not see the function flow change when returns are at the end of lines. It's a minor thing of course.
