Sometimes some programs and some downloads have weird slowdowns like this when my VPN is on, even though others remain completely unaffected

There's no treason in sabotaging an unjust war

The treason was starting the war. In the first place

I wouldn't have been able to tell any of that was loli porn from just the pictures if you hadn't told me to be honest

Factorio is priced appropriately

It's less that it never goes on sale, more like it is always on sale

That's a big one, generating thumbnails client-side rather than running an imagemagick instance on the server to re-size pictures on upload

I used it to generate hashes of the pictures as well, once.

Adding watermarks too. There are virtuous watermarks as well, I remember having to code up a transparents watermark over people's IDs to make sure that when they submitted their renters dossier (it was a real estate renting service), it couldn't be used to commit identity theft by the homeowner later down the line or re-used for something else.

Ah nah Canvas is used for so much stuff and it's sometimes way under your radar in stuff you wouldn't at all expect

For instance

• one-loop.github.io, opensource reddit front-end that allows you to look at reddit, but it looks like you're reading outlook from a distance
• For people's avatars, it sources images from thispersondoesnotexist.com
• You can't just "download" a picture from another website, because that violates "CORS": If it were allowed, you could just download their face from facebook.com, scan if they have something hosted on localhost, ...
• You can use an

  <img>

  tag which fetches the image, but your javascript cannot access the image's data. It doesn't belong to your page

I'll let you look at the comments to see how they circumvented this

 js

    
async function generateFacePic(commentData: SnooComment, ppBuffer: HTMLImageElement[], displaySize: number = 50): Promise<HTMLCanvasElement> {
    const imageSeed = /* a random number */
    const imageElement: HTMLImageElement = /* someone's avatar */

    // Purpose of copying: A single <img> tag cannot be in multiple spots at the same time
    // I did not find a way to duplicate the reference to an img tag 
    // If you use Element.appendChild with the same reference multiple times, the method will move the element around
    // Creating a new <img> tag and copying the attributes would work, but it would fetch the src again
    // The image at thispersondoesnotexist changes every second so the src points to a new picture now
    // Since the URL has a parameter and hasn't changed, then most likely, querying the URL again would
    //     hit the browser's cache. but we can't know that.
    // Solution: make a canvas and give it the single <img> reference. It makes a new one every time. It doesn't query the src.
    const canv = copyImage2Canvas(imageElement, displaySize);

    canv.classList.add(`human-${imageSeed}`);
    return canv;
}

  

I've seen canvas being used for github-like random avatars, graphs, logos, to create dynamic previews of images on the page in online shops, ...

What I enjoy as well is that while women rate men lower, they still message them

Also least attractive users all message the 10s way less, but with women the curve dips hard and they do it as well for 9s and 8s

I think there's more rigorous studies but done on smaller numbers of participants, but sci-hub's captchas are broken today so that's where that ends.

I know of other data blog posts going in the same general vibe from tinder hinge etc but no serious study has asked >1000 people to "rate" other people

https://techcrunch.com/2009/11/18/okcupid-inbox-attractive/

Men do a regular kind of bell looking curve around the middle value for women

Careful with that study because it is often misused or wrongly associated to a paretto distribution

An okcupid research had shown that most (80%) men were considered below average by women

Since it's so rare to be an attractive man I could imagine if you did a study like that, depending on how you chose and rate participants, you could be comparing men's 2 first deciles with women's 5+ first deciles

It looks a lot like win95. I don't think anything you brought up is relevant

How's the atlantic anything like the pacific?

• smaller
• not in the same spot
• doesn't get the same amount of sun
• different countries in it
• doesn't help you go to the same places by boat

Truly nothing in common. Might as well be comparing an apple to caulking a window

Are those vbucks?

Toilets do a really important job and it is one that I would not enjoy doing myself.

If it's got a poop fetish then fuck it, I'll host parties and take suggestions on what too feed guests!

It's even hornier. Sorry.

The guy who made it has a YouTube channel called Dave's Garage

Communist != tankie

Tankies are always communists, communists aren't always tankies
