Firefox already feeling more responsive.

LiteStep introduced these in much more interesting ways than explorer ever accomplished. First released in 98, but worked fine in 95 as well.

You could have them in the wharf(preferred IMO) or more standard widget styles.


Into Windows, as it is based on AfterStep and WindowMaker.


Yea, it was based on afterstep. But for Windows. I first used it in Windows 95. Cuz explorer was an unstable piece of junk.


In the spirit of floating points, I'd say posits offer an excellent insight into the trade-offs between precision and accuracy, while being meaningfully representative of a number system rather than some arbitrary functions.


Failure is treated as success. Simple.


Oh come on fanboy, Apple doesn't have meaningfully better hardware, consumer trust, or app selection (for most people the opposite is true!)

Oof, Apple adopting core 'Android' features... Yea, finally? Increasing iOS market share? Where? Not most places

I think it's weird you come at this from an antitrust angle when I would totally make the argument the other way.

If there's pressure to remove this feature, then it's from companies that make apps that anyone can pull up in Revanced and they can patch it and can be running a version of a piece of software that shouldn't exist with "premium" features enabled. I don't think there's an argument against it really besides that. At least not an honest, intelligent argument....

Ultimately, I doubt many would jump to Apple. Inertia would insist: People just won't upgrade. Which is already occurring, people are keeping their devices longer, especially Apple users. And they wonder why their battery stops working... Oy vey!


My first, last and only Abit was the KR7a-RAID. Along with a phenomenal Athlon XP and that sweet DDR.

Good memories.


Many washers will pause if the lid is open.


Most washers outside of Asia are horizontal, not vertical, so there is no lid to open. And the ancient tech ones in North America that load from the top don't have any electronics and are already immune.


The top load washers in the US all have lid locks and safety switches with anti-tamper devices to prevent you from disabling the lock mechanism.


We really don't anymore.

Back in the late 90s maybe. Gifs and other paletted image formats were popular.

I even experimented with them. I designed various formats for The Palace. The most popular was 20-bit (6,6,6,2:RGBA, also 5,5,5,5; but the lack of color was intense, 15 bits versus 18 is quite a difference). This allowed fairly high color with anti-aliasing -edges that were semi transparent.


We absolutely still need dithering; 24-bit sRGB is not nearly enough for a large monochromatic gradient to not have visible banding without dithering.

Your screen likely uses dithering to produce 1-2 LSBs of each color channel of this piece of graphics right now.


GPS works on triangulation. You need inputs from multiple satellites. Yes, clearly you can just ignore those signals.


Yup. Those paths are cached bidirectional.
