You could use the pdfium library as an alternative to Ghostscript.

I don't think there is a way to do that with pdfium. I have tried to look at it and failed. Maybe I didn't look hard enough.

I do!

Well, there are signed distance field fonts for one thing.

Where are you? Also, are they IPv6 or IPv4 addresses?

Thank you for the elucidation of the M1. It is odd that chip manufacturers are moving more and more to ASIC approaches again. I do fear they will be less flexible than traditional ISAs. However, GPUs started out as custom silicon, and they have been very useful.

$#17! It seems like I need to switch to Chromium. Le sigh.

Well, there is always bc and dc.

There is some horrible ableism in that post.

When I try to access the site, I get "Error establishing a database connection" Let's indeed demand better from tech!

I'm guessing that eventually, Azure and Google Cloud put enough pressure on AWS that the whole elastic solution situation is affordable enough that people stop skimping on affordable hosting.

At the moment, there's a fair amount of pennywise/poundfoolish behavior because of crazy high cloud egress costs.

There's a huge pricing chasm between, for example, a cheap Digital Ocean non-elastic hosting solution and AWS. Digital Ocean, though, is moving closer to an actual cloud, and the big 3 seem to be starting to compete on price.

Can you share this algorithm?

It was given to me by Kenny Zadeck in the form of an an unpublished chapter of a book that they had been working on.

I was asked not to reshare it because of that, so i haven't.

The book, sadly, still has not been published.
