Currently requires a login, did that change since you posted it? Credit limits too.

I was attempting to generate an image of an OSHA violation and got an error.


It'd be nice to see the 'terahertz gap' closed finally.

Not for a practical reason, but it's been on my mind since I randomly found a wikipedia article about it.


Interestingly reading the terahertz radiation wikipedia article they mention peeling adhesive tape generates 2THz and 18THz peaks

That was after they had new releases for a while.

Do you have some special setup?

Chromium is in the hundred and something MB range on mine last I looked. Might expand to more on install.


I just checked Google Chrome Framework on my Mac, it was a little over 400 MB. Although now that I think about it it's probably a universal binary so you can cut that in half?

Yea looks like Chrome ships a universal binary with both x86_64 and arm64.

makes sense, chromium on my Fedora system takes up 234MB.

A few ps3 games I've seen had 4GB or more binaries.

This was a problem because code signing meant it needed to be completely replaced by updates.


> A few ps3 games I've seen had 4GB or more binaries.

Is this because they are embedding assets into the binary? I find it hard to believe anyone was carrying around enough code to fill 4GB in the PS3 era...


I assume so, there were rarely any other files on the disc in this case.

It varied between games, one of the battlefields (3 or bad company 2) was what I was thinking of. It generally improved with later releases.

The 4GB file size was significant, since it meant I couldn't run them from a backup on a fat32 usb drive. There are workarounds for many games nowadays.


Each standardised on a different gallon. Prior to that, gallons depended on that you were measuring.

One, a beer gallon, the other a wine gallon. The US still also has 'dry gallons' for things like pints of blueberries.


Compared to an average jpeg encoder, or something like mozjpeg?


I did this the first time git asked me, because getting asked every time would get annoying.

Glad it's going back to having a default and not asking.


This makes great business sense, since you can fit-test any part and know you're getting the right one before ordering.

IIRC, there's even plugins for some CAD programs to grab models by part number.


Yes, that's exactly how I use it. I've also had use cases where I needed something now and didn't mind a plastic part for actual use because I knew the load would be light.


Would work nicely as one of the tools called by the hollywood program.
