Me, but it doesn’t really matter if I can find the library or not

@nikitonsky You do know that the original Sin City was made in color just to crush everything into black&white in post, right?

iliazeus

@nikitonsky it seems they've brought back the playstation 3 era color grading

Colin

@nikitonsky It is crazy. The more modern a film is, the more I have to crank the brightness just to see what’s going on. There are some shows now where I peg it to the max

Has anyone watched a Fourier series? How many good seasons are in there?

Suppose I want to buy a monitor.

To do that, I want to search all available models that theoretically exist.

I want to filter by hard specs: diagonal, horisontal resolution, vertical resolution, ppi, etc.

I also want to specify ranges: 27-30", 200-240ppi, etc

Sounds like this should be _exactly_ what computers are good at, right?

So how do I do it? Which site to use?

What’s the idea here? You found names of 7 companies in an article. What’s the next step? Why is it useful?

Ben

@nikitonsky I assume they want people to subscribe to news about certain companies but this one really baffles me

Not a day goes by without some new control being invented

@nikitonsky Thanks for the link, when I watched the film I was interested to know what VFX were used

@nikitonsky "But of course as a director I find today's films use too much CGI"...

jannehimanka

@nikitonsky There's also the delighftul adjective „penile“ that sees little use.

Checkboxes/radiobuttons, round or square? How about BOTH?

Zaͩnͦsͤt̀́rͤa̅̆̈

@nikitonsky It is possible to actually make multiple squares red, like with checkboxes. But in that case your vote doesn't count anymore…

Tom Nijhof-Verhees

@nikitonsky I have seen this form so many times that I stopped thinking about it. For some reason checkboxes and radio buttons only exist for me on a screen and not outside 😅

Unicode Emoji committee, please, for your consideration. We need these

CSS is hard, console edition (of course it’s a frontend project)

Niki Tonsky

Notion “static site” export. Selection doesn’t work somehow (only in Firefox, but still), and if I disable JS to fix selection, empty page is displayed. Not even spinner.

What happened? Frontend happened

Since Android icons are already round, should they try more optimal packing?

Ildar Karymov

@nikitonsky since Android icons are already round, smartphones on Android should look like this

Yesterday I finally got a chance to use my monitor to its full power

Alex Trine

@nikitonsky not enough terminals in the bottom. I still see unused space

Raphael

@nikitonsky I use "mental model" instead of "theory", but yeah: this.

That's also why documentation is important and code does not replace it. 🙊
(And yes, documentation does not replace humans, either, for similar reasons.)

Lu wilson

@nikitonsky the only theory i have is that I don't respect podcasts as an information delivery system

Is there anything in programming as disgusting as double-encoded json?

gzip + base64 _after_ is a close second

double base64 is somewhere in there, too

@nikitonsky non-utf-8 text files. extra points for byte order mark

Valera Pesternikov

@nikitonsky and then add this json as field to another json... and then double encode it again 😁

Thomas Karpiniec

@nikitonsky Binary as a JSON number array with elements in the range -128 to 127 is good for the old blood pressure
