AVIF has landed. Back in ancient July I released a video that dug into how lossy and lossless image compression works and how to apply that knowledge to compress a set of different images for the web. Well, that's already out of date because AVIF has arrived. Brilliant. AVIF is a new image format derived from the keyframes of AV1 video. It's a royalty-free format, and it's already supported in Chrome 85 on desktop. What I'm saying is, the time to care about AVIF is now. Also, Squoosh now supports AVIF, which is how I compressed the examples in this post. Let's take a look at how AVIF performs against the image formats we already know and love… F1 photo I picked this image because it's a photo with a mixture of low frequency detail (the road) and high frequency detail (parts of the car livery). Roughly speaking, at an acceptable quality, the WebP is almost half the size of JPEG, and AVIF is under half the size of WebP. Before I compare things further: What is 'acceptable quality'?

Context is key here. Phew!

Scattered throughout the world in locked warehouses are briefcases filled with Cy Yombinator bearer bonds that could be worth billions comma billions of dollars. You will help steal the briefcases. Cy Yombinator has cleverly protected the warehouses with Lockitall electronic lock devices. Lockitall locks are unlockable with an app. We've positioned operatives near each warehouse; each is waiting for you to successfully unlock the warehouse by tricking out the locks. The Lockitall devices work by accepting Bluetooth connections from the Lockitall LockIT Pro app. We've done the hard work for you: we spent $15,000 on a development kit that includes remote controlled locks for you to practice on, and reverse engineered enough of it to build a primitive debugger. Using the debugger, you'll be able to single step the lock code, set breakpoints, and examine memory on your own test instance of the lock.

The main library is libferris.so, graphical support is in libferrisui.so and XSLT support is in libferrisxslt.so. There are optional wrapper libraries allowing Perl, Python and OCaml to access libferris.

The core of libferris is to provide a C++ abstraction over many tree like structures and present the main content of each object in the tree as an IOStream. This core abstraction also provides STL style iterators for a begin() to end() iteration of a directory. Arbitrary metadata for a file is accessable via getStrAttr() and setStrAttr(). Some of the metadata is automatically extracted from files and presented through this same interface, some of the plugins to extract / handle such attributes are listed below.

The following sections describe what things libferris can mount, what sort of metadata is supported and what clients currently exist. ferriscp, a superset of coreutils 'cp' command.

Nishimura, S., Jones, D. 6.4: Protein Synthesis - Biology LibreTexts. Transcription Transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA → RNA. It is the transfer of genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA. Transcription happens in the nucleus of the cell. During transcription, a strand of mRNA is made that is complementary to a strand of DNA called a gene. A gene can easily be identified from the DNA sequence. Steps of Transcription Transcription takes place in three steps, called initiation, elongation, and termination. Initiation is the beginning of transcription. Processing mRNA In eukaryotes, the new mRNA is not yet ready for translation. 5' cap protects mRNA in the cytoplasm and helps in the attachment of mRNA with the ribosome for translation. Translation The translation is the second part of the central dogma of molecular biology: RNA --> Protein. To understand the role of tRNA, you need to know more about its structure.

Iron in the Body The Body as a Chemical System: Chemical Elements that Make Up the Body What are our bodies made of, and how do they work?

Hence, our discussion of the human body as a chemical system begins by answering the question, "What type of atoms does the body contain? " Iron Disorders Protein Structure. Life's First Molecule Was Protein, Not RNA, New Model Suggests. From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). Proteins have generally taken a back seat to RNA molecules in scientists’ speculations about how life on Earth started. Yet a new computational model that describes how early biopolymers could have grown long enough to fold into useful shapes may change that. If it holds up, the model, which is now guiding laboratory experiments for confirmation, could re-establish the reputation of proteins as the original self-replicating biomolecule.

For scientists studying the origin of life, one of the greatest chicken-or-the-egg questions is: Which came first — proteins or nucleic acids like DNA and RNA? Four billion years ago or so, basic chemical building blocks gave rise to longer polymers that had a capacity to self-replicate and to perform functions essential to life: namely, storing information and catalyzing chemical reactions.

For most of life’s history, nucleic acids have handled the former job and proteins the latter one. History of the Radio: A Complete Radio Timeline. In modern society, radios are common technology in the car and in the home. In fact, in today's world one would be hard pressed to find anyone who has not heard of, seen, or used a radio during his or her life, regardless of how old or young they may be.

This was not always the case, however. Before the 19th century, wireless radio communication in everyday life was a thing of fantasy. Even after the development of the radio in the late 1800s, it took many years before radios went mainstream and became a household fixture. The history of the radio is a fascinating one that changed how the world connected and communicated from distances both far and near. While the radio enjoys a long and interesting history, its earliest beginnings are still quite controversial.

Before and During World War I Prior to the 1920s, the radio was primarily used to contact ships that were out at sea. Radio and the 1920s In the 1920s, following the war, civilians began to purchase radios for private use. | Dispatch | Overview of the Japanese Empire.

This paper seeks to establish that interest‑bearing debts were introduced to the Mediterranean lands from the Near East, most likely by Phoenician merchants in the 8th century BC along with their better known innovations such as alphabetic writing. Contrary to what was believed until quite recently, such debts — and for that matter, commercial and agrarian debts even without interest charges — are by no means a spontaneous and universal innovation.

No indications of commercial or agrarian debts have been found in Early Bronze Age Egypt, the Indus valley, or even in Ebla, much less in Mycenaean Greece. They are first documented in a particular part of the world — Sumer — in the third millennium, and can be traced diffusing from southern Mesopotamia upward along the Euphrates and westward into the Levant as part of the Sumerian commercial expansion. The absence of indigenous interest‑bearing debts in Greece and Italy A plausible scenario Final Comments. Papers from the Lost Culture of Array Languages (2011) I read your post, thought 'hmm sort of powershelly with a bit of awk', clicked on your Github project page and saw Powershell was listed as the first 'Software with Similar Goals to Osh'. I've been searching for the 'panacea' of shells (and/or auxilary shell tools/hacks that dup() fd's 0,1,2 to enhance existing shells) that hits that same 'sweet spot' you describe.

As such, over the last ~15 years I've been through a litany of setups, ranging from: - the standard "bash/zsh/fish" approach (where you extend the shell) to - the "scsh/ipython/eshell" approach (where you bring an inferior shell's functionality into a language) to, - the screen/tmux approach (where you take a shell and then layer functionality over it). I'm not sure where I'm going with this other than, I feel your pain and I'd imagine tons of other people do/did as well. . (!)

When we last checked in with the Klapötke lab at Munich, it was to highlight their accomplishments in the field of nitrotetrazole oxides. Never forget, the biggest accomplishment in such work is not blowing out the lab windows. We're talking high-nitrogen compounds here (a specialty of Klapötke's group), and the question is not whether such things are going to be explosive hazards.

(That's been settled by their empirical formulas, which generally look like typographical errors). The question is whether you're going to be able to get a long enough look at the material before it realizes its dream of turning into an expanding cloud of hot nitrogen gas.It's time for another dispatch from the land of spiderweb-cracked blast shields and "Oh well, I never liked that fume hood, anyway". It's a beast, all right. Yep, below the detection limits of a lab that specializes in the nastiest, most energetic stuff they can think up.

The Fed's primary goals are to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and manage long-term interest rates. The Fed also helps to create stability in the financial system, especially during times of recession—or negative economic growth—and financial instability.

The Fed uses various programs and initiatives to accomplish its goals, and the result usually leads to a change in the composition of the Fed's balance sheet. The Fed can increase or decrease the amount and scope of assets or liabilities on its balance sheet, which in turn, increases or decreases the money supply within the economy. However, some critics argue the Fed has gone too far and tried to do too much in response to recessions and crises. Key Takeaways The Balance Sheet of the Federal Reserve Bank Just like any other balance sheet, the Fed's balance sheet consists of assets and liabilities. Loans.
