Kind of, but JPEG converts image data to its own internal 3 came channel colour space before applying DCT. It is not compressing the R, G and B channels of most images. So a multichannel compression is not just compressing each channel separately.

JPEG 2000 supports lossless mode.

It’s also a very good introduction to programming, and just a good read. Probably the best book about programming I’ve ever read.

I’m no expert, but as I understand it, there are several things that can go wrong just by clicking. This depends somewhat on your browser settings and how you use it.

Visiting a compromised site may allow the attacker to access data from other tabs and windows in the same browser session. Some sites warn you to close the whole browser when logging out because of this.

Sometimes bugs in a browser can allow a site to run arbitrary code on your machine. These hopefully get patched quickly.

I can’t comment on the others, but PDF to JPEG should be easy enough. ImageMagick, which another commenter suggested, is possible but not user friendly. However you can just open the PDF in many applications and export it as an image. Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop can do it. GIMP probably too.

I’m a last ditch effort you can even just open the file and screenshot it.

Pre-commit code reviews, preferably in person or at least live, are a great way to learn and teach. They explain what they did and why, you suggest alternatives.

Doing it pre commit is best because it it’s done later, they’ve already moved on.

And the learning goes both ways.

The canine revolution has started. They’ve been playing us for fools, making us think it’s the feline population we had to fear, all the while planning this.

The question is very reasonable - and the answer far from obvious as evident from the wrong one being uprooted in this thread. To be clear: I don’t know the answer either, only that you’re right about the curve going the wrong way.

What’s more worrying is the CEO of a global logistics company asking it - and on a public forum rather than of his employees.

It’s akin to a school director standing in the schoolyard during recess and asking why his teachers aren’t in the classroom teaching at that moment.

I see, thanks!

A virtual credit card? Is that something your bank offers, or how would one go about getting it?

The reason I originally got PayPal is because many sites don’t accept debet cards so I often had no way to pay at all.

You could also try ecosia. I’ve been using them for years, and since a few months Vivaldi has a deal with them too.
