Fair enough. Dithering would still be an option though. But if it's not done I agree there can be visible stripes in some cases.
Also I wanted to apologize for the negative wording in my above comment. That was uncalled for, even if I think HDR is totally not worth it at the moment.
You can use other forges, but they have the exact same issues as GitHub. You need to make an account, you need to accept terms of service and if they feel like it (or are forced by a court) they'll ban you and your repository.
git send-email exists. So it's not like you absolutely can't contribute to projects that are hosted on GitHub.
At some point in the future gitlab will get federation, but that's not a solution for now. It'll take a while.
Yes? But that's already explicitly warned about.
At work I had to fill out a form which threats to my health could impact me. Next to chemicals or radiation, working at a desk for more than x hours a day was also listed as a potential source of bodily harm.
I have never seen banding before, the image seems specifically picked to show the effect. I know it's common when converting to less than 256 but color, e.g. if you turn images into svgs for some reason, or gifs (actual gifs, not video)
Also dithering exists.
Anyway, it'll surely be standard at some point in the future, but it's very much a small quality improvement and not something one definitely needs.
The mass market has really pushed solar panel production. I expect the material quality even of the cheap china panels to be better than what anyone was able to produce almost 40 years ago. That's a long time to understand degradation processes and develop countermeasures.
The solar panels I just bought have a manufacturer warranty for 87% power output after 30 years.
Yeah, but PV is dirt cheap nowadays. Also
degrade over a few years.
If by "few" you mean like 30-50 then sure, they degrade. But it certainly beats anything with a spinning turbine. Or anything with moving parts really. PV is purely solid state physics, you can't get more longevity than that.
If the capacitance of the system is not enough to hold the produced power then an electrical failure will occur, so you must also include large commercial and industrial batteries
That's not true. You can also simply turn PV off. The inverters only run when they sense 50 Hz on their output terminals, it's easy to have them turn off when it's 50.2 instead. Basically all big powerplants follow that rule already, ordered by things like shutoff time etc.
a Heliostat (a Collection Tower and Mirror Array) out in the desert
Funny that you specified in the desert. The appeal of PV is not only that it's cheap and easy, it also scales down to small investments and local power generation. If base load actually becomes a problem concentrated solar power will be relevant. But for now, slapping a few solar panels on your roof just makes sense.
Yes? Makes things spin.
when we're really just talking about the average slightly overweight/obese people
Are we though?
I think the discussions here are mostly coming down to what you think you're arguing about. Because there certainly are some crazy claims made by the body positivity movement as well. Even if the core message ("your dignity as a human is not bound to your body shape") is something basically everyone can agree on.
So the big majorities on both sides argue against the other side based on some fringe opinions. And since one rarely explains their position in detail on the Internet neither side is aware that they actually have a lot of common ground.
A basic image is really easy. It's basically just
Dockerfile
FROM debian # start with a minimal Linux system. There are probably better options than debian. Some images are made especially for docker (i.e. very minimal and light weight).
RUN apt install dependencies # do what ever you need to get your app running.
RUN echo "options and stuff" >> /etc/a/config/file # you can also edit system files
COPY . /app # copy your project into the docker container.
EXPOSE 8080 # doesn't actually do anything, but documents where the app will be listening
CMD server-binary run /app/main.php # I have actually no idea how php server stuff works
(Docs https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/)
Then people can run your project with docker.
Edit: checking the readme some small changes would be required. Config.php should read in environment variables and the DB init SQL should be run automatically somehow.
I can't even criticize this comment, because you wouldn't understand why.
So thanks for the effort I guess? But we're not discussing real balloons.
Yes, but how are you gonna accept pull requests? You need a frontend and a frontend needs an account.
Of course, all of these alternative forges (gitea, forgejo, gitlab) can be self hosted on your own private server.
