The anti-aliasing there indicates the O and Q are the full pixel in height and the F, T are a half pixel in height.

If I wear boots, sneakers, sandals, hiking shoes sometimes I wonder if it will be enough to throw it off? How distinctly will it be able to tell from millions of gait patterns? Sure it may work foolproof for a set of 100 even intentionally trying to vary things, but how similar will the gait of Roberto Ramirez be to himself the next week or to the hundreds of thousands of people going past an area over a year?

I can help answer this for you. Yes you have power tripping mods on a small handful of servers or communities, but this is where the solution comes in. If you feel it’s not justified, you can join another server that fits your vibe better, or create a community on another server. !risa@startrek.website to !tenforward@lemmy.world is one of the biggest examples of a mass community migration.

Jerboa is my choice, but what you settle on depends on what features you want.

Repeating lossy compression on a dataset produces lossier data, which seems pretty intuitive, glad it is spelled out in a paper.

In fact, Harris once identified herself as wearing a blue dress at a disability conference to assist blind and sight impaired people. That’s totally weird, and helping people absolutely disqualifies her for holding office in the Republican Party.

Yeah the latest news I heard about the Russian economy was about falling out of a window. Sure sounds like things are looking up for them…

Whoops, it all went to a couple special pensioners.

I’ve kept having to make this point repeatedly every time someone writes “It’s not a Microsoft/closed source problem, it happened to Linux too”.

He’s from the UK. Like me in Canada, we get to live in relative bliss in not needing to worry about living in the current US reality…

You’ve already made your determination not to vote, and no candidate seems to please you. So what are you going on about? What do you want?

The bug seems to have only affected certain Linux kernels and versions. Of course no one cared, because it didn’t simultaneously take out hospital systems and airline systems worldwide to an extent that you’d only think you’d see in movies.

Linux has comparitive advantages for being so diverse. Since there are so many different update channels it would be hard to pull off such a large outage, intentionally or unintentionally. Yet, if we imagine a totally equivalent scenario of a CrowdStrike update causing kernel panics in most Linux distribitions, this is what could be done:

• Ubuntu, Redhat, and other organizations who make money from supporting and ensuring reliability of their customers’ systems, would be on the case to find a working configuration, as soon as they find out it’s not an isolated incident or user error.
• If one finds a solution, it will likely quickly be shared to other organizations and adapted.
• The error logs, and inner workings of the kernel and where it fails are clearly available to admins, customer support personnel and tech nerds, so they aren’t fully at the mercy of the maintainers of the proprietary blobs (both Microsoft and Crowdstrike, for Windows, but only Crowdstrike for Linux) to determine the cause and potential solutions that would be available.
• The Linux internet-facing component updates can be rolled back and inspected/installed separately to the Crowdstrike updates. The buggy update to Microsoft Azure and from Crowdstrike happening together on the same day muddied the waters as to what exactly went wrong in the first several hours of the outage.
• There’s more flexibility to adjust the behaviour of the kernel itself, even in a scenario CrowdStrike was dragging its feet. Emergency kernel patches could just set to ignore panics caused by the faulty configuration files identified, at least as a potential temporary fix.
