Yep, my logic is faulty there. And even if we assume that it's 24bpp color, that's still a factor of 2 out.

I would guess 3 colour channels at 16bit (i.e. 2 bytes)

(2^32)÷(1920×1080×4×3×2) = 86

Re:The tragedy of running an old Node project on Tuesday November 19, 2024 @10:31AM (#42184562)
My first step now when trying to resurrect old projects is to create a Docker container for it - that way I can install any old versions of anything (like node or PHP) I need without having to worry about it polluting anything else on the system.
He did two pairs of books, White Warlord/Black Baron and Scarlet Sorcerer/Emerald Enchanter. All were printed 1986.

They were interesting because they contained both a single-player game (one in each book) and two-player game (which required both books).

Probably subjective to your particular set up - I just got the opposite results on my mac:

184 ± 5.0 - Firefox

171 ± 2.6 - Safari

It wouldn't be suitable for any application where you care about GDPR (i.e. you store personal information and have users in the EU)

The "right to be forgotten" is not compatible with immutable data. You can't simply need to mark data as deleted, you need to 'purge' it from your system (and possible backups, depending on how long you keep historic backups) - that isn't possible in a system with immutable data.

Probably to prevent confusion with "1"

It has a maximum, not a minimum: The higher of 4% turnover OR €20m. That means even with 0 revenue, your fine can be up to €20m (It won't, because if you're not making money your small fry to them, but still, the fine can be greater than 0)

That should stop any runaway backtracking?
