The keywords you're missing are color spaces and gamma curves. For a given bandwidth, we want to efficiently allocate color encoding as well as brightness (logarithmically to capture the huge dynamic range of perceptible light). sRGB i

Just out of curiosity - would you describe companies that are commonly in the spotlight as more mercenary than average?

I used to always remove affiliate codes from links, but after hearing about just how much revenue creators make from Amazon affiliate, I started clicking them if it’s a creator that I support (especially smaller creators). With Amazon, appa

Ahh, gotcha, thanks for the tip. Yeah, systemd is easy to reach for, but it certainly has plenty of footguns.

I just did `ExecStart` with `multi-user.target`. That implies the unit is `simple`, so it very well could be sequencing incorrectly at boot and failing. That's a good point; I'll have to keep that in mind!

Wow, thanks for this tip! I've been dealing with suspend issues with an X570 Aorus Master as well. Running `echo GPP0 >> /proc/acpi/wakeup` into a systemd unit at boot solved the issue for me... except the first sl

I've often heard people say that "true" perfect pitch can only be accomplished with synesthesia, but I have no idea if it's true. Back when I played clarinet, I had decent relative pitch and I could ballpark a B-flat tun

While I didn’t switch majors, I had a similar experience with my intro EE class. My theory was that it was intentionally a weeder class to push students towards the other engineering concentrations. Intro EE is kinda brutal in that there’s

That’s kinda the whole point, isn’t it? I’m just a layman, but my understanding is that the incompatibilities of GR and QM point to a need for a proper theory of gravity. Looking at the dark matter problem from a purely GR-perspective will

Gotcha, thanks! I'm not in the Apple Developer Program, but I'm tempted to do it just to be able to experiment with sideloading all sorts of LÖVE programs.

Carousel looks neat! I haven’t played around with Lua or LÖVE much, but this reminds me of Processing, except with more of a focus on creating useful mini-apps instead of visual art. It also reminds me SmileBASIC for the Nintendo 3DS. What

Computing and the Internet have matured and become so much more central to daily life. For better or worse, that's going to put limits on the quirks something like a smartphone can have. If your photo library, banking, social media, or

It’s very neat that ThreadX and friends are MIT licensed now. I used ThreadX and NetX a bunch before the acquisition and open sourcing, and generally enjoyed using them. TX has a tight API / system design and implementation that makes

I haven’t seen any incredible outcomes from them, but I think they can be nice if they’re low key with no real expectation of productization. Definitely shouldn’t be any “prizes”. The best uses of hackathons I’ve seen are for experimenting

I’m not much of a watch guy, but I got a “rep” moonswatch for under $20 as my first watch. It’s actually fairly convincing from a distance, but some of the dials were not zeroed properly and the cheap crystal made it hard to actually read.

Agreed. I’m honestly not familiar with how they’re structured for hardware contracts like this. I was imagining some sort of cost plus structure. No point in speculating on the details of a contract dispute where we don’t have the contract,

I get that you’re worried, but I think your kid is probably fine. They’re still a young kid in college at the end of the day. Figuring out how to deal with stuff like this is half of what college is all about. I went to one of the EECS prog

Reading EE and DEFCON’s statements, I’m inclined to think whoever was managing this on DEFCON’s side was not on top of things and blinked at the last minute. I’m sure there were delays and issues on EE’s end, as it always goes with hardware

My pet peeve with RasPi for these types of handheld projects is that they don't support suspend, and don't have a true poweroff state. Even in poweroff, they sit there consuming a bunch of current. Beepy is a similar project that

As an embedded C developer who has since branched out to Rust and C++, I’m definitely curious about Zig. Reading about this, I’m a bit split. Losing some of the C interop “magic” sucks, but the proposal to use the Zig build system seems pre
