Thank you for the amazing work! Do you have any publications or articles describing your findings and the process you developed for mapping the scientific data into perceptually meaningful colour images? Rendering our observatory's ima

Sure, edited.

Maybe, or maybe not. But it will certainly kill the community they've built up, and squander a huge amount of goodwill. Why would anybody who's interested in supporting or using an independent browser (read: techies) choose one th

This seems quite misguided and is sad to see. They have every right to do this, but I was looking forward to continuing testing Ladybird as it improves and contributing in the future. I hope servo stays open to contributions, as it seems li

Looking forward to the blog post. Do you plan to run both the Zig and Rust binaries side-by-side across a wide range of real applications (potentially shadowing in production) to weed out bugs?

At the very least, it's interesting to be a bystander observering as efforts like this progress. The first thing it makes me wonder is how comprehensive/high quality the test suite is to begin with. Not to cast aspersions, but eve

> I imagine this behavior came from ClearType having been a special case, and therefore non-native widget toolkits getting explicitly programmed to render with it on Windows, forgetting that the user should be able to turn it off!! I see

Hate seems a bit strong for an increase in perceived horizontal resolution on low DPI displays, but to each their own. That said, I'm not sure what you mean by it being impossible to turn off. On Windows you can just disable ClearType

Yep, and if you're interested, Rubin doesn't send alerts directly to individuals. The alert stream alone (without full images) is enormous. There are a set of alert brokers who ingest, index, and add metadata before making the str

That's not great, although at least a splash screen is purely cosmetic. More disappointing is that, even in 2026, the move to Wayland still comes with issues like this: > Some popups, such as Search Everywhere and Recent Locations,

I'm glad there's finally some progress in that direction. If they actually implement subpixel RGB anti-aliasing, it would definitely be worth considering as an alternative. It's been surprising to see so many people praise Ze

There is certainly a lot to be said for first-mover advantage, but TradeMe specifically (while still popular) is currently fighting a losing battle. Between rising listing fees, selling fees as a percentage of the product's value, and

If you don't think what Hellwig did obstructed the project, then I guess we fundamentally disagree. Again, the R4L folks could work around this by getting the code pulled in by Linus, but that doesn't stop the fact that a senior m

There are multiple comments that meet the exact definition of sabotage. If this: "You might not like my answer, but I will do everything I can do to stop this." is not intent to sabotage (even if it might not be successful as Linu

I don't entirely disagree with some of your points, however, they are not what the recent discussion has been about. Plainly, a maintainer has unilaterally rejected the addition of rust code to assist with DMA and requested that code b

This is a remarkably disappointing end to Hellwig's original NACK, yet entirely expected based on the recent treatment of R4L devs.

This is a great visualization. I wonder what techniques were used to create it as neither this article nor the original source seem to highlight them.

Looks like it was due to unsafe processing of custom emoji: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1897
