How's Svelte doing compared to the hoard of other JavaScript frameworks?
Nothing else seems to have come out since then which is really any improvement over the old.
All the frontend devs are dying on the hill of WASM and stuff.

Somebody told me that digitization will let us preserve things forever, but I feel like it's the opposite because of how complicated accessing digital data is and how fast technological systems evolve. Old formats get superseded by updated ones and niche platform-specific ones get abandoned when that platform does. We can look at a wall relief from 5000 years ago and work out an approximation of what it was saying just by looking at it, but how would you get any data out of a floppy filled with files for a program that hasn't been updated in 100 years?

Eventually the effort of maintaining compatibility with old things is going to cause data to be effectively lost, but some formats will obviously last longer than others. Personally, I think the humble .txt file will outlast most others because its simple, yet vitally important to many basic computing tasks so you can't easily get rid of it and there's not much incentive to improve the format. That said, I could also see a specialized format that is used for something like .nes which is used pretty much just to preserve old data being maintained by enthusiasts while more general-purpose formats get killed off to force people to adopt newer ones. Which ones do you think will pass the test of time and which will be be the quickest to die out?

The are multiple aspects to this, which have to separated.

First: If you have a byte array, how do you interpret the data to make sense of it? This is what you mean. I don't worry about it. As you say, .txt (ASCII) is very simple. Even if knowledge about very common file formats like PNG gets lost, descriptions of these formats exist in .txt form. This would make it relatively simple to recover. Before you get to the files, you need to know how filesystems work, which is part of the problem. Also some formats may virtually unrecoverable, like DRM protected shit, which most non-pirated commercial audio and video media will be in the near future.

Second: The robustness of physical storage. This is a huge problem. Floppy discs become unreadable after a very short time. When I still used them, this could be as little as weeks. Hard discs demagnetize. Optical discs rot. Flash storage loses electrical charge. None of that shit will survive. People who deal with archiving seem to have some ideas how to solve this. Also, digital media can be copied without loss. But that might not help. It requires someone to keep the media "alive" by copying it and backing it up all the time. Who says there won't be data centers, which burn down to the ground, which had the last copy of certain data?

Third: How to read digital media. Before you analyze a byte stream or a filesystem, you need to know how to get these bytes from a media. If you were given a hard disk but no computer with SATA ports, how the fuck would you read it? You could try to re-implement the SATA protocol. You could try to read the platters directly using some incredibly complicated method, then reverse engineer the proprietary, unknown layout the HDD vendor used, with yet unknown codes used to encode bits. Good luck with that. Better hope that this archeological data with 3000 year old furry porn is something you found on a forgotten cloud.

APNG is actually just PNG with more than one image. PNG is extremely simple. It's just raw image data in its simplest form compressed with one of the oldest and most widespread compression algorithms. Which someone in the thread called complicated, which is ironic.

do you really NEED those extra frames?
2 posts omitted. Click reply to view.

 No.327

This is stupid, you have two eyes so what you see are two frames _all_ the time.

 No.2872

I've played counter strike competitively for most of my life and cs players care a lot about frames and I've researched it a lot personally. My understanding of the facts is that the purely visual aspect of refresh rate (independent of frame rate) has diminishing returns past 240hz or for some people 360hz. I play at 240hz and can only see a slight difference between 144hz and 240hz, but 60hz is atrocious, suggesting a non linear falloff at least for my eyes.

The relationship between frame rate and refresh rate and how this affects the look/feel of a game can be confusing. The status quo used to be to never cap your frames and always get the highest frame rate possible and just ignore screen tearing, the advantage of this was that the game felt more responsive, although in some games the physics can break down after a certain point. In csgo I've had this happen at around 1000fps in 1v1 servers since the maps there can be comically small.

The problem with uncapped frames however is that, as someone just said, it stresses your hardware, and that can actually increase input delay. It can also mean your frames vary wildly from moment to moment which, for cs players, makes aiming feel inconsistent. Another related issue is poor 1% lows and frame time variance.

The new status quo is to always cap your frames slightly below the minimum that your pc can produce so it's always stable and doesn't incur input lag. Ideally using an external program like nvidia control panel or rtss, special k, etc. In CS your only option is nvidia control panel though.

However, adaptive sync entered the picture and changed things slightly. If you have gsync (nvidia) or freesync (amd) then you can sort of get 'the best of both worlds' meaning you can get the smoothness of vsync without the input delay. Personally I can still feel some delay with gsync, but CS2 for whatever reason is almost unplayable without it, looks like an episode of robot chicken all choppy and shit.

But there's more... the behavior of gsync is such that when the frames exceed its sync range it behaves like normal vsync and you get input lag again. So if you want an optimal experience you have to cap your frames below your refresh rate and force vsync off in nvidia control panel, but turn gsync on in-game, or whatever the amd equivalent would be.

>THE AI SAID SO SO IT HAS TO BE TRUE

 No.2975

For me it kinda doesn't matter as long as it's above 30 though I have played some games at 25 and it was fine-ish. 60 is the sweet spot for what feels smooth and anything above that while nice cost disproportionally to what you're gaining. Same goes for resolution. 4K is nice but honestly 1080p is enough.

 No.2976

i remember playing tfc and cs beta and seeing people discuss graphics settings. it seemed the consensus was you wanted around 90-100 fps. Its noteworthy because before native resolution people were more free to tweak resolution as just another video setting, so people felt that hitting 100 fps was worth lower resolutions, but that more than that was not worth lowering your resolution. This was how i always did it and when LCDs became capable of displaying higher refresh rates it held true. 100 definitely feels a lot more 'present' than 60, but i dont notice 140 over 100 so much.
For slower paced games ive always felt anything above 30 is good, the slideshow effect kicks in somewhere in the 20s

In light of the hack I had a thoght in the shower that imageboards should be hashing information such as IP addresses, emails and so on.

But instead of a one way hash where the information is never retrievable, it's a 2way hash that does not hold the key on a server. Instead people who need to see the information would be give a userscript containing the key which would decrypt information on a need to know basis.

That means that a hack would have to break through two levels of security to obtain any useful information.

My biggest concern is performance. But maybe WASM can get around that or mods would use a dedicated desktop app with more processing power available.

Public key encryption is cheap especially when TLS uses it so even web browsers already have that function and there is a Web Crypto API. Why would it be expensive?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Crypto_API
The only issue is making sure the user is not dumb and actually has the private key on demand. Good luck ensuring that. And because of that, I don't think it works.
I think doing a one way encryption with well known advanced algorithms is enough. Consider that PBKDF2 based on SHA2-256 is well known and used in the aforementioned Web Crypto API.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/deriveKey#pbkdf2
Just using basic principles to reason using thermodynamics means you have to use more energy than a supernova from an average sized star to brute force SHA2-256 has stood the test of time for 20+ years. Unless we get quantum computers worth something other than being able to generate citations in research papers, I expect it to keep standing the test of time.

I doubt it will work on static mosaics. There'd need to be some sort of pattern to follow for process of elimination to occur.

Hello /maho/, do you like keyboards? They're your main method of interfacing with your computer and the Internet at large, most of you probably spend the majority of your day behind one, so let's talk about them!

Here is a keyboard I picked up recently, it's a Focus FK-2001 made in the year 1995. This is around the start of the proliferation of cheap personal computers, which obviously necessitated cutting costs. Keyboards are a major area where manufacturers cut costs, and thus, the late 90s and the early 2000s saw a deluge of cheap, nasty rubber dome over membrane keyboards.

This one is still a mechanical keyboard, however, just not a very good one. It eschews the nice switches made by Alps Electric found in older keyboards in favor of cheap clones which don't feel or sound nearly as good. The case is light and creaky and is held together by clips which snap off easily. The dust cover is pretty cool though, and I do really like the look of the keyboard, particularly the keycaps, the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt legends are red, green, and blue respectively, which was supposed to help users of WordPerfect, I believe.

All in all, a pretty mediocre old board, I'll just be taking the keycaps and putting them on a custom keyboard build, and that's about it.

I'm not a keyboard enthusiast, but I do enjoy a nice mechanical keyboard. I currently have a Das Keyboard 4 Professional with CherryMX Blue switches. Practically, I've had it for years. I used to have the same exact keyboard, but through my own misfortune spilled a glass of water all over the keyboard and it never worked properly again... Just recently, as in a few months ago, I was browsing a local thrift store and managed to come across the same model I had previously in perfectly working condition.

Definitely not my style, but the K70 is undeniably a modern classic. There must be a way to turn off the backlighting, check your manual.

>>2880
Yes and no. There used to be a great variety in mechanical keyboards with many different types of switches. Nowadays, the vast, vast majority of them come with Cherry MX mechanical switches (or clones thereof), which survived the proliferation of cheap personal computers by being relatively robust so they clung on in industrial and point of sale applications.

The difference between a cheap and an expensive OEM keyboard which uses Cherry MX-type switches is mostly just build quality, you can get the best of the best for like 120 bucks unless you go for one with a machined aluminium chassis, which just isn't worth it for most people.

>>2881

I'm trying to figure out how the youtube algorithm works when logged out.

When I visit the site from a new private window and look something up, the results seem to be pretty consistent across different browsers and sessions. But if I visit the same content as linked by a website, I get completely different (much worse) stuff, and it confuses me. Does it really put that much stock into that initial search?

I also just kind of wonder what youtube looks like to people just getting into it now. I made my account over a decade ago, so I have no clue where things are at with that kind of thing.

 No.2866

I really don't know how it works, but I haven't been logged into youtube for at least a decade. Sometimes it recommends some neat things, but it likes to throw curveballs at me sometimes. Sometimes I'm watching it in bed and I fall asleep and wake up to conspiracy theory stuff because I was watching history. Kind of annoying.
Opening youtube in a private tab to see the base experience is about what you'd expect- just normal people stuff like MrBeast or world news and sometimes surface-level 2D stuff like whatever the big anime of the moment happens to be. The good news is that at least at the beginning it doesn't feed you outrage content, but maybe that's it being purposely deceptive.

 No.2874

I think if they can place a backlink from where you came from and then have identifying traits of people coming from that backlink then they can knbow what to recommend to you from there. Which would explain your results.
