The link to Architectural Decision Records is empty, but they're present in the repo to look at[0]. Curiously the decision with the most deciders is the implementation of JavaScript bindings[1].

Zoom's filter applies before Color Filters, so a workaround is to toggle on zoom, set it to greyscale, then use the 3 finger gesture to zoom out to 100%.

From the comparison image it looks like the goal is functional compatibility, not render compatibility. The table borders change and the layout changes.

There are countries that require published material to be submitted to a national archive[0]. A similar system could be done for software source code and made public on expiry.

The closest thing would be our showcase poster[0], at some point I might write about the thought/development process (both for my sake and whoever picks up the project in the future)

This is neat. This group’s approach of treating the devices as many weaker servers (basically a raspberry pi cluster) sounds like the most realistic way to reuse phone hardware at scale, especially with the backing of the actual hardware vendor.

It’s a genuine shame how locked down iPhones are compared to even Android. Hypothetically you could run Linux inside UTM[0] but outside the EU Apple makes it intentionally difficult, and there’s still memory restrictions and performance penalties.

My group’s senior year project was a computing cluster on phones (specifically targetting LLM inference) [1]. Instead of installing a new OS we built separate apps per OS. Our devices were older, so the Android phones had worse hardware and the iPhones had more software restraints.

It doesn't even need to represent intervals. A 13 inch ruler with 13 markings at 0.5, 1.5, etc inches is still a valid ruler, albeit an odd construction.

Golang has the golang.org/x packages, which avoids too much stdlib bloat while still providing the niceties of “pre-vetted” packages that don’t pull in a massive dependency tree.

It's possible that Instructure's servers got compromised:

As a heads up, NHK tends to remove videos from their site, probably due to contract stuff. It seems Texico starts expiring next year. Sometimes they “rebroadcast,” but for peace of mind make sure to download a personal copy.

This post has managed to “confuse” Google about the reverse question as well (“who named teresa t whale”):

The humpback whale known as "Teresa T" was named by Simon Willison in September 2024. Background: The juvenile humpback whale was frequently spotted in Pillar Point Harbor near Half Moon Bay, California. Method: Willison gave the whale its name through a blog entry and a YouTube video caption. Significance: The naming was a playful act, which Willison described as a way to create a "championship that doesn't exist" through online documentation.

[…]

Even with no context most humans would see that the quoted significance makes no sense.

There’s a relatively obvious constraint to check here: compositing the layers back together should produce a (near) identical image. Would it not be preferable to throw an error if the model fails to faithfully segment the image?

Interesting that it’s paying to remove features. Seems reasonable considering it’s paying to get an officially supported build, and if you’d rather not there’s probably a fork doing the same out there.

Edit: That it’s free (as in WinRAR?) on Linux is interesting; what would be the motive for doing that?

Relatedly, scrolling time pickers are also a toss up on mobile. Sometimes a single swipe on the minutes gets you from 12:00pm to 11:50am, sometimes it doesn’t.

I wish the analog clock picker where two quick taps set the hours and minutes (and one more tap for am/pm) was more common.
