Let's not kid ourselves, if there was such cryptocurrency the sanctions would have been drafted differently and the end result would have been the same.

There has been a response in another ticket that they're harmless markers that have been around for a while, but it's hard to tell if they actually went through the data to confirm it. https://support.google.com/ma

An average user would download "Eurovision GP" expecting the voting functionality everyone and their dog knows is a major part of the experience and instead they get a gallery app. OP's highly rated app was more than likely l

This needs more detail, what is the body of the mail supposed to show? Did you run an experiment? How was it run? Is this between protonmail addresses?

Surely you know by now that Elon/SpaceX will get its fuel no matter what, even if it means trucking the fuel there, seems to me your best case scenario will increase net emissions. Protecting the environment is not the point of this s

Doesn't USB4 also introduce its own optional PCIe tunneling spec which isn't exactly the same as Thunderbolt?

It makes sense to treat it as an error but the ISO standard is too vague on this and the libpng developers never "fixed" this[1], it issues a warning but otherwise just masks off the high bits. Firefox has a workaround[2][3], Chro

> bKGD overflow, tRNS overflow This is one of those awkward parts of the standard, the samples always take up 16 bits and decoders are expected to mask off the extra high bits, any 16-bit value was supposed to be considered valid. In the

Moral rights are part of the Berne Convention, it's not limited to Europe. This is only an issue when someone 1. is very negligent with redistribution 2. has enough negative implications for the author to take issue with it. NixOS is a

Moral rights are unalienable in Europe, I'm not gonna quote a full paragraph from Wikipedia[1] here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights

Not a lawyer, but I _highly_ doubt the MIT license makes any difference when it comes to the author's demands in this situation, he has moral rights (legal term) to the software. You can't just make a mess of packaging someone&#x2

The RPi 400 only has 4GB but the board is integrated into a keyboard with a power button and a big heatsink, if you go for a (m)SATA SSD + USB3 adapter you still have a second USB3 port, those things can easily push 300MB/s with UASP,

Writing a naive PNG parser is easy, but handling all the corner cases is harder than it should be, e.g. text chunk fields can be variable- and even zero-length: 1. https://github.com/randy408/libspng/blob/3439

I'm using 1.6.36, the most obvious speedups should come from RGBA 8-bit PNG's, that codepath doesn't rely on compiler optimizations.

A 3-byte layout can be worse for performance, I think the simplest solution would be to add a special format that always matches the PNG's format, that way you always get RGB from RGB images, grayscale from grayscale images, etc. This

This is what I use for benchmarking: https://github.com/libspng/spngt , my platform is Debian 10, GCC 8.3.0 with -O3 on an i5-4670. I use -SPNG_SSE=2 because that targets SSE2 instead of SSSE3, this matches the Debian b
