I did not check the source code but scanning UI and outcome is exactly the same as native iOS scanner.

...and system font HN uses (Verdana) have glyph design for it, so it works.

m, M, w, W, %, @ and i, l, ! (and so on) are the letters that create a challenge (or a room for creativity/individuality) ad they are so wide or so narrow. Wide letters often get cramped as they need to share se witdh as narrower letters. iA thought they could just modify those “extreme” glyphs to increase legibility (and readability)

It is more legible than your average "font-family: sans-serif” (aka Arial, Roboto, Helvetica) but it’s not that much of an “original idea”. For example Frutiger by Adrian Frutiger, a type family that a lot of airports use as it’s designed with legibility at long distances, or even the Verdana by Matthew Carter, ubiquitous web font that powers this and a lot of other websites’ typography that has specifically designed for legibility on low resolution screens, aren’t that less legible than this font. Still, I like the idea that some people on Braille Institute has decided to commission a typeface with a “free” license.

Care to elaborate?

Aegean sea has seen a lot of military exercises with both Greece and Turkey, I remember the Medusa-10 exercise with Greece, France, Egypt and UAE (and yeah, these are the sides which clash against Turkey-backed official government in Libya) NATO Allied Land Command (in Izmir) tweeted the exercise with hashtags: #WEARENATO and #StrongerTogether. I would normally say such a weird timeline we live in but it has been like this for decades.

Traditional RAW* wouldn’t be a black-and-white mosaic. It just would be data. RAW’s need to be demosaiced to be seen visually, which makes it dependent on software (or algorithm).

* I don’t know about Apple’s ProRAW.

Reminds me of North Korea’s very own Red Star OS’ watermarking of the files.

Starts at 34:55 https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7174-lifting_the_fog_on_red_star...

TLDW: Operating system appends hash everytime the file is copied, making it possible to track the original source of file without requiring another tracking mechanism (ie. internet)

It is also found at German eszett ß, which essentially is a ligature of “ſs”.

Also that index finger is actually a unicode character ( U+261A)
