A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.

Windows XP introduced the systems that contacted Microsoft servers to validate and collect user data, a form of telemetry, as they transmitted system-specific diagnostic and usage data to Microsoft. It also included tracking service "Dr. Watson", enhanced with online reporting. It send technical diagnostics such as memory dumps, user data, stack traces, and system configurations, telemetry data used to sell individual user data and claimed to "improve system stability". XP also had consumer analytics like in modern Windows versions. Specialized telemetry data software existed that was explicitly included in the kernel level with Windows XP for real-time data processing and archival. When users installed updates through Microsoft Update or Windows Update, metadata and user's personal files, about installed software, system locale, OS version, and update history was sent to Microsoft, again, telemetry.

Rendering fonts to PNG? Child's play for Lisp! With its powerful macro system and dynamic typing, Lisp makes this trivial task a breeze. You can write a concise, readable program in seconds. And because Lisp's garbage collector is so efficient, your memory usage will be minimal - no bloated packages needed.

In fact, Lisp's unique nature means many other languages, including those massive 512MB packages, are simply dialects of Lisp or heavily influenced by its brilliance. Python, Ruby, even JavaScript - they all owe a debt to the granddaddy of programming languages, Lisp.

So don't waste time with clumsy, memory-hungry tools when Lisp can do it better, faster, and more elegantly. Once you experience the joy of Lisp, you'll never go back to those cumbersome alternatives again. It's not just a language - it's a revelation. Lisp is the greatest programming language ever created, and there's no debate about it.

it's not about me, it's about the tech literacy (or rather, the lack thereof) of the average /g/eet.
half the comments in this thread are taking about "program sizes", when the half-retarded (that's an achievement here) op started off by sharing a built project size. it's like saying the linux kernel occupies 30-40GiB on your disk, because that's the size required to actually build the kernel (with a distro configuration).
every other topic discussed had equally retarded discourse. for example, the talk about that header-only library and its lack of safety misses a much bigger and practically relevant point, which is that it probably lacks many of the fringe and even bordering-on-bizarre features that many fonts seem to make use of, and that's before we get into variations or advanced shaping shit.
and i did notice that no one, including yourself, responded to the main point in that comment in question.

>and i did notice that no one, including yourself, responded to the main point in that comment in question.
You can't precisely compare the size of two programs unless they link the exact same set of DLLs/shared objects, otherwise you have no way of knowing how much code each one is actually using, since you can load in a DLL without using everything in it (which is by design of course) while on the other hand any good linker will remove dead code when statically linking. You can still make guesstimates, but they are just guesses, and if everyone is guessing all the time then this discussion is pointless. You can also establish upper bounds for each (i.e pick the worst case scenario where the dynamically linked executables uses everything from the DLL), but then that's not a good comparison at all.
For an exact comparison, assuming cosmic-text has the same feature set as freetype and harfbuzz, you have to statically link Freetype and Harfbuzz and stb_image_write with all formats disabled except PNG, or something along those lines.

Almost everyove knows that JPEG files can be encoded to enable several progressive steps of rendering, so that the incomplete file on its early stages of downloading is seen as blurry.

When the information of luminosity comes before the colors, such early image can also be decoded as gray or greenish (see the attached PNG; see also https://cloudinary.com/blog/progressive_jpegs_and_green_martians for the explanation). Modern versions of web browsers actually avoid this weird colours by suppressing decoding until both colour components arrive from the Web.

When a JPEG is not progressive, it is designed to render from top to bottom.

All that makes me think once again about the AVIF files.

There are experiments of making them progressive (you can run “avifenc” with “--progressive”), but by default an AVIF is so much non-progressive that it does not render (even from top to bottom) until fully downloaded.

But what if an incomplete AVIF were, in fact, rendered? What would we see then?

Would the pixels come in the same “from top to bottom” order, but in blocks of different sizes?

Would the pixels come in weird colours because the chroma comes after the luma?

Interpolating frames would be million times heavier and would require external application. Encoded stream is compressed and why it's efficient - it's the same as an archive. If you mess up something in between it'll corrupt.

Didn't see a qtddtot.

I bought a cheap second hand laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560 with a non-functional battery) for my cousin since his parents are fuck ups who pawned their computer for booze money. I've never opened a laptop before but I figured putting a new battery in can't be too hard.

Anyway, this is what it looked like when I popped the back off.
Am I right in assuming all that pinkish-grey stuff between the fans and the (I think) vents from the heatsink is dust that I can safely brush off with a toothbrush or pull away with a pair of tweezers?
Right now my plan is brush away the worst of the dust then just blast the whole thing with a can of compressed air. Is there anything I should know before that? Any parts I should be careful of?
Anything else worth doing before I hand the laptop over to him? There's some brown gunk that's hardened on the inside of the laptop case, maybe thermal paste? Don't know if that's worth replacing.

>>106869100
Others talk about things that break, but obviously there are old programs that still work perfectly 20 or 30 years later and they are also abandoned. I think that people want to believe that there is somebody on "the other side" that is their little slave and making their software work for them, and if it's clear that these "little people" are not there then the software feels dead to them.

we are so back. I never doubted.
