Oh, interesting. So do all neon colors reflect ultraviolet as visible light? Would a neon color that reflects IR as visible be possible? Or is it already figured out, but more expensive than UV neon paint?

You could go a long way by specifying the reflectiveness over the visible light spectrum and then do the same for light sources. That way, you could do GDR style truly monochrome sodium vapor lamps, which makes telling colors apart impossib

Could somebody explain the Coral Pixel font? It makes no sense to me, given that the whole point of sub pixels was to look sharp without looking colorful. It only ever looked like that when you took a screenshot and then zoomed in, which se

I think it depends on the country. In Germany, everything you write is automatically copyrighted, unless you explicitly waive it. In the US, it's the other way around, you have to explicitly state that you want copyright (can somebody

It depends on the language and/or used libraries. E.g. in Go, the problem does not exist, because it uses UTF-32; Rust uses UTF-8, but it makes sure that you can't cut a string between bytes that belong to the same character. Fun

They don't see the letters, so how could they possibly succeed at that? It's like asking a human how many infrared flowers they see.

QR codes store bits, arranged into bytes (A byte is the shape of a 3x3 square with one corner missing), so how more traditional can it get?

The lack of capitalism meant that the holodeck program authors had no need to optimize their programs for user retention to show them more ads. So much fewer people suffer from holodeck addiction in Star Trek than are glued to their screens

Looks easy to parse to me and you could also remove the commas in the array. { foo: "bar" baz: "bak" quux: [a b c d] lol: 9.7E+42 }

You can also remove the commas in the arrays.

Right, but did this mean you had to deal with all the Xcode problems, or did you have more of an IntelliJ like experience?

We did something like that on a private Minecraft server 15 years ago, where everybody was required to have an identi.ca account for this server (status.net, like mastodon today). All messages appeared posted to the walls of a large library
