Is there an article with more details about the decision and the implementation?
I’m curious if the lights are off completely, or are they dimmed and/or motion activated. Also curious about how it affects the costs (and is there a financial motivation as well).
Personally I’d argue that light pollution is a climate issue. I’m not a scientist though so maybe there’s a more precise definition here that I’m overlooking?
But regardless, energy savings was also one of the cited reasons. So to answer your question: both.
Because light is an environmental property to a region and one that can affect the habitat of organisms which live there.
It’s not really any difference to other traditional climate concerns like wind nor rain aside from light being a non-tactile property. But then neither is heat.
I will concede that my interpretation of the term “climate” here might not be correct. I’m not an expert in this field so it’s entirely possible I’ve stretched the definition
Germany is pretty strict about "light pollution". You can have lights at night, but they can't spill onto other people's property or shine up into the sky. Personally I think this should be the case in USA as well - you're welcome to light your own lawn, but I should be the decider of whether my own is lit or not. Let alone security lights that shine directly into neighbors' windows...
When I told them the movie came out before they were born, yet depict their life damn near exactly as they were living it, their enlightenment lit the room anew hah.
- I released this initially as an iPhone only app. Someone ran it on an iPad via compatibility mode, they were disappointed that the app doesn't use the full screen and they left a 1 star review. I wish iPad reviews only counted for universal iOS apps - otherwise the user is also reviewing the iPad's compatibility mode (and its black bars). Still, I like that the user left some feedback, I now added iPad support and I hope for some more positive reviews in future.
- I tested using AI to colorize the 1-bit pixel art - I got bad results. The colors were not great, plus the AI ignored instructions to leave empty spaces unchanged, which is unacceptable in this context. The images were encoded as text, which may have been a factor. Still, I remember being very specific and it didn't help. To those familiar with The Good Place, I felt like Michael asking for Eleanor's file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BDtrzYNutY . As of now all puzzles are built by hand.
In theory yes. In practice, only when the interests of the sole maintainer are aligned with the interests of the users; since these can change, it’s best to avoid a monopoly.
Case in point, recent manifest v2 deprecation is generally disliked by the community and no long term blink based alternative exists (that I know of).
It is disliked by a vocal minority, and of that minority even fewer actually have their own opinion based off the current version of mv3 as opposed to mindlessly parroting others. If it was a true issue then others would be maintaining mv2 support long term. In regards to monopolies in terms of control what is important is the product, browser, market share itself as opposed to that of the browser engine.
Note that these are not just concepts but shipped projects. E.g. the description often says “An ornamental design depicting (name of the actual device)”.
Mostly. It was noted that the split/ergonomic keyboard was never shipped by IBM. (Though it mentioned that the patent is cited by Kinesis, presumably because the 1968 patent had expired and was being used as prior art?)
I guess that’s the problem - search being only a component.
Is the possible search traffic worth having your content become part of an LLM’s training set and possibly used elsewhere?
I guess the answer depends on the content and the website’s business model.
