    The proposal has a section comparing the frequencies for "pregnant-man" and "pregnant-person" with "elephant". It was a criteria back then. https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2020/20190r-…

    Yeah, it is obvious. But word "interpolation" isn't to be found anywhere in the text. IMO, having something like "color interpolation in HSL Cartesian space" would make it crystal …

    Metamerism is not an issue with displays. You can find at the spectral distribution of the tvs and monitors on websites such as rting and hdtvtest. And things such as "viewing cond…

    This is color interpolation. There are others js libraries that does the same thing, but they lack a good interactive tools. But, unlike others tools, this tool exposes the "xyz co…

    There are plenty of evidence that the activation of ipRGC inhibits melatonin production. My question was about the "ratio of yellow photons to blue photons". Fun fact: Blue light c…

    Posit always have more precision than a IEEE floating with same number of bits because it has more bits for the mantissa. Posit would likely enable to better compression with Huffm…
