This doesn't use hinting. Some reasons why are listed at: https://github.com/jimparis/qr-font/blob/master/design.md#wh...

Just glancing I would say it seems a bit different.

I haven't tried on macos, but yeah, the biggest problem right now seems to be implementation differences with how embedded spaces are handled. Earlier, the biggest cross-browser is…

Some details of how it works are in https://github.com/jimparis/qr-font/blob/master/design.md Fair warning though: this was designed and implemented by an LLM, as an experiment to …

Yes. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48703200

1bpp's comment suggesting this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48682460

In the "Libre Barcode Project" discussion yesterday, 1bpp asked: "Is anyone willing to sacrifice their sanity for the sake of implementing a QR renderer as TTF hinting code?" Yes. …

It is not a tricky problem because it has a simple and obvious solution: do not filter or block usage just because the input includes a word like "gun".

My dad wears smart glasses because he's nearly deaf and the classes show captions for the person he's talking to. They're great. He doesn't use or care at all about the camera. Hav…

It's not enclosed in the final product. It is used during manufacturing. For example, you mechanically compress helium to get liquid helium, then when it depressurizes back to ambi…

Yeah, everyone learns differently, but for me this is a perfect way to better understand how GPTs work.

200mg/day is not a "very very small dose". FDA recommended maximum safe amount is 400mg/day.

I was curious what the protein picture was showing: "Figure 1 Example predictions of SimpleFold on targets ... with ground truth shown in light aqua and prediction in deep teal." a…

Zuck owns 13% of Meta shares and 61% of the voting power Jensen Huang owns 3.8% of Nvidia and 3.8% of the voting power Tim Cook owns 0.021% of Apple and 0.021% of the voting power …

I don't know (and don't need you to elaborate on) exactly what you're referring to in that last sentence, but I suspect you are confusing Eric W. Weisstein with Eric Weisstein.

Lazy, or more efficient? If you type a time and hit start, you're not microwaving until you're done with all the buttons. If you hit "QS" a bunch to reach the duration instead, the…

Relative to the handedness, one bolt is always moving with it, one bolt is always moving against it. Switching direction doesn't change that. So switching direction can't change wh…

Switching the direction that you're twiddling the bolts would have to change the direction of any movement. But by symmetry, clockwise and counterclockwise twiddling are identical …

some math because I'm curious: If you draw down and replace 50% of the water every day, each molecule has a 1/2 chance of sticking around. After 3 months that's 1/(2^90). A 5 gallo…

They were screwed from the start... The Xbox came out when the PS2 did. When it came time for the next generation, Sony went with the obvious PS3. Microsoft of course couldn't comp…

If the earth were a point mass than almost any trajectory at all would be orbital.
