If you have a guarantee for the worst case of generating a pixel (which you indicate by saying that you never drop frames), couldn't you get rid of the framebuffer? Schedule pixel generation so that they complete just in time for when they're needed for output.

This would save up RAM for other things (and be a fun exercice to get right).

Not sure if this app supports it or not, but it would be very useful with a 5 second warning before being thrown into a video call. I could see all kinds of embarrassing moments happening otherwise.

Since propagation of information is limited to one cell per step, it's possible to speed this up by splitting the image into smaller subimages and solving those first, and then solve the borders between such subimages.

This technique can be used to solve multiple steps as well, the only change is that the border between subimages becomes thicker.

Could progressive mode be used to serve thumbnails by just truncating the image at a suitable point, or does the spec (and so, decoders) expect the whole image to eventually arrive?

What are the implications of this?

Surprised by the negativity in the comments. This is an extremely impressive presentation of ability to put together current technologies and get the thing working front start to finish.

A+, would hire.

Would that be legal, or counted as insider trading? Since you're trading on relevant information not available to the public.

Interestingly (or perhaps annoyingly) enough, the placement of the 0 was different in different countries. At least in Sweden the first digit was 0, and not 1 as in this implementation. This was reflected in the emergency number which was 90000 at the time, which is easy to dial without mistakes even in a stressful situation.

Is there a need for localization?

It's disingenuous to compare a single year vs an average like this, without going into what the distribution looks like.

Maybe years are either very calm or have lots of fires? That would result in some years being much worse than the average.

Yes, I think it's frustrating that this is not widely adopted. The upsides are really obvious and the only downside (I guess?) is that it feels a bit awkward to do it before society has gotten used to it.

Another thing with obvious benefits I wish we would adopt from east Asia is wearing a face mask when having a cold to prevent infection those around you.

Aren't these large numbers just the sum of the maximum jail time for each of the charges? How are multiple charges handled in other countries?

Cool! -betterC looks well worth exploring. Also, pure and safe are fantastic features, I just wish the default was the other way around, so you need to specify impure and unsafe.
