Add threshold select (magic wand), and I'll agree 100%.

Yes, resizing within Paint preserves pixel-level color. I just resized a single pixel dot to about 14x25 without aliasing.

I don't know why you are so concerned, but it's incredibly easy to test these questions if you really want to know.

Post a thread including the number "42" in the title, and you'll be proven wrong in the first 3 comments.

Waaay back in the day of early WWW, Windows had an unpublicized behavior: if you attempted to select your own choice of default browser, the file search window (Open File form) would filter out firefox.exe from results. You could go to that directory, but that file was hidden. You could add it only by typing it in.

Low-key evil, but still 100% evil.

"Wanted: employees."

You've actually disproven your claim.

> The paygap is just a measure of the number of women having children.

> A woman who has two children, at minimum, works two years less. In a (25 - 65) yr career that's a 10% pay gap she'll experience wrt a male who works the same period.

Your claims are disproven by your own math.

A paygap over that period would be a 3% to 8% drop due to child rearing, not 10%, if we accept your claims.

In reality, in the US women do not usually take 1 year off per child. Paid maternity leave is 12 weeks by federal law. That creates a "motherhood-caused" paygap of only 0.75% to 2%.

Your posts are REALLY focused on "proving" women aren't actually discriminated against in pay. Almost like a vendetta.

The CVE was introduced over a year before that.

The vulnerability predates Copilot. Paint's first vulnerable version (11.0) was released September 2021, Copilot in February 2023.

This is the equivalent of "I don't watch TV" comments about media problems.

Good for you.

Now only <all Windows users>-1 are affected.

If brick and mortar Apple stores are staffed by "Geniuses"...

Citation required for extraordinary claim.

Your phrase "low wavelength light" is odd... I figured out you meant "short wavelength light", which is high energy/frequency, on the blue to UV end.

If I buy a car, I get flushed with ads for cars. Really. Same for an area rug, a vacuum cleaner, and many other things I will never buy two in a row of.

That's just stupid.

Google has no incentive to do so. McDonalds does, but its somewhat costly to scale against ALL the ads they push.

But it's the dirty little secret of most advertising: there's no voluntary feedback to prove (consistently, objectively) how effective your $$ are being spent.

The last thing a marketing company or media provider wants to admit is that any of their services are underperforming, or worse, turning off buyers.

You've made a lot of vague claims, with no real substance.

> massive star ships

LOL.

> There are real, objectively measurable signals that could be used to help moderate a purely perception-based market.

Those are merely your perception of "facts". And, surprise!, you are not the first person to ever determine there are "real, objectively measurable signals that could be used to help moderate". There's an entire legion of workers out there trying to do that.

If you genuinely perceived "real" indicators the market was overlooking, you should implement them and become a billionaire. Go ahead.

"It's hard, so do nothing" is your advice.

Great hindsight! Anything you want to suggest in advance of it happening?

You are describing the difference between Verification (Does this do what we explicitly said it would do?) and Validation (Does this do what we wanted to achieve?). One is about compliance of design promises, and the other covers the issue that the various levels of design documents might have failed to completely capture intent.

This is a zero-value post.

"I decided for myself that X wasn't worth me pursuing as a path for my career." Good for you.

I made the same decision for professional photography and cardiac surgery, but both of those careers still hold value to society.

You are describing my field - Systems Engineering.

We track EVERY requirement to ensure it is met. Maybe it's a safety issue; maybe it's landscaping approvals (I work in Rail). Regardless, it's bigger $ if not caught up front, and if you start grading requirements on perceived risk, you start the slippery slope to not caring. Example: mark all landscaping requirements as "Not Critical". Then scheduled clearing of the right-of-way is missed. Then pedestrians are at risk with blocked line-of-sight, and trees might drop across the rail.

THIS is your answer, leoqa. The business value is the $$ the company can lose if it goes wrong.

If higher-ups have no technical insight, round up and give them two numbers: $$ if a bad thing happens, and $$$$$ if the worst thing happens.

> someone who can help you with info if you need it is baked into the price.

Absolutely, in their heyday.

By the end, I met an employee who very derisively told me I didn't need to connect all three terminals on a transistor for it to work. According to him, the collector was often skipped in circuits.

So, by that single indicator, they were already the Walking Dead. But I could ignore him and still buy what I needed, then.

Wow oh wow. There's a lot of wisdom in this post. Maybe not earthshattering, but a good perspective for me to chew on.

By analogy, my best market moves were when I checked market activity about once a week, irregularly. Once I made a big decision, I stuck with it by not checking the market for a while. Not saying that is right for everyone, or even for me all the time, but I did very well in the 2008 crash.

Just took a look out of curiosity. Zero is an insignificantly reduced version of lcase alphabetic 'o'.

Fonts that don't distinguish between 0 and O/o are abominations before God and all that is good in life.

Thank you! The GP quote sounded completely unLittlePrince-like! I can believe it as a quote from Saint-Exupery.

Yes, and that's as close as we can get.

How exactly would you design a meter of actual reality, in the sense of where capital value is going to go in [delta-time]?

It's how everything always works. If you perceive that you have cancer, based on doctors' gathered and interpreted data, you will act on that perception.
