John wasn't kidding.

Getting fonts to render correctly is a difficult task. Compositing in linear color space is the visually correct way to blend colors. But in practice no platform renders and composites fonts in linear color space, and each has opinionated approaches to how fonts should be rendered. Font designers can design a font with a specific platform in mind, that on another platform looks terrible. And people who spend all day working with a terminal can be very picky about how they want text to look. The latest release of Kitty provides tooling to allow tweaking the compositing settings so that any font in any color, can render as desired on any platform.

Sooo... How is the loudness management feature not just a reimplementation of "mp3 replay gain" that was introduced over 20 years ago?

I have noticed that most people with negative reviews seem to be trying to use distros derived from Ubuntu. Mint, Neon, or Ubuntu itself, it never ends well. I've played with Ubuntu a couple times and have never been impressed.

I've used KDE desktops for years in Arch and Gentoo distros without any serious issue. Seriously, if you are interested in KDE, give Arch a try.

You keep using that word "standard". I do not think it means what you think it means.

This video is nothing but confirmation bias narrated over stock video clips. By the same logic used in this video:

- Bicyclist in traffic accidents are much more likely to die than those in SUVs. Also, because the physical size is so much smaller, it's much easier to miss seeing them, which increases risk of accidents. Therefor to ensure safety we should all drive SUVs.

- Bicyclist are much slower than SUVs, causing traffic congestion which wastes time and reduces fuel economy. Furthermore, the slow speed results in significantly extended commute times resulting in poor time-management. Therefor we should all drive SUVs to increase efficiency.

- Transporting 3 kids to soccer practice with a bicycle is dangerous for both physical and mental health of the kids due to factors mentioned above. Furthermore the mom will loose her ever-loving mind if there is no video playing in the back seat to distract the 3 year-old from asking "are we there yet" every 2 minutes. Therefor, for the sake of mental health, we should all drive SUVs.

The total in TULIP's "total depravity" is not a measure of sinfulness. It is not meant to imply that we are naturally as evil as possible in every context. The "total" is speaking in terms of the extent of depravity. That is to say, sin touches and influences every aspect of our existence. So that even in good works with the best of intentions humanly possible, there still exists an element of self exalting corruption.

The methodology backing this report is garbage.

There was no such thing as Protestant when the canon was formalized, and the reformation had nothing to do with canon.

You have no clue what you're talking about. Jesus spoke more regarding the topic of hell than everybody else in the bible _combined_.

gentoo's kmscon package is sourced from that fork

Serve up a text file to connections from India that just has a wildcard entry that causes everything to be blocked. Those crappy browsers will very quickly loose their popularity.

Suicide cable joins two 120v (from different phases) to a 208v. Most high powered lighting fixtures require 208. Super illegal, but often facilities do not have the correct electrical setup and people use this to get around it. I almost got cooked but one of those when a stagehand unplugged it without waiting till power was shut off. Contacted and electrified the whole truss.

> Anyway, interesting approach using a secret like this. Is this approach used elsewhere?

yes, fwknop https://github.com/mrash/fwknop

I will often provide the email address postmaster@hashbang.com for people insisting they need an email address who have no legitimate reason doing so. (hashbang.com resolves to localhost. Thanks twocows...)

Isn't this just a variant of what is already being done with molten salt solar towers?

Has nothing to do with tractor emissions. They are being forced to forgo using nitrogen based fertilizer for crops, and cull their cattle herds to reduce ammonia. Both are going to severely cut into their income for an industry with very thin margins, and put a lot of them out of business. Their government even conceded that fact very early on and still pushed it through. The farmers are pissed and rightly so.

You are insufferably dense. This has nothing to do with economy, inclusivity or any other BS from the POTUS website. Energy production has to be ramped up and down to match utilization in order to keep the grid stable. That is much more difficult to do with renewables. You can't just turn up the wind speed to make turbines spin faster. I know this may be surprising, but when the grid voltage drops too much and fries everybody's electronics, people tend to get very pissed (in a very universally inclusive manner).

No we don't. In criminal law the burden of proof is "beyond reasonable doubt". The bar is set much lower in civil law with the plaintiff only needing to demonstrate a "preponderance of evidence".

Can't speak for St. Jo but Joplin and Pittsburgh are growing from proximity to the Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers metropolitan area just exploding in growth. The interstate was finished up that now puts them only an hour drive away, and they have been benefiting greatly from that.

In KDE: - Double Click PDF, Opens it in PDF viewer "Okular" - Select "Stamp" Annotation Tool - Draw region to place stamp - View stamp properties and click to select image source - Select SVG file I always use that has my signature that I created using my wacom tablet. - Adjust placement if needed - Save file

Takes all of ~15 seconds. Don't see how that equates to moving mountains.

Can't decide if I think he's trying to start a cult, or the next wework.

Seriously? I can understand people having trouble adapting to a different layering model, but cropping? If over 10 years you haven't been able to figure out

Image -> Crop to selection

then either it's a real accomplishment they you can cloth yourself in the morning, or this is just willful ignorance.

When they ask for email address, I give them postmaster@hashbang.com

Depends largely on how it's implemented. There is a big difference between the quality of a well implemented convolution engine and a crappy biquad filter.

Yeah, reflective paint isn't obstacle to be overcome here, it's the almighty HOA.
