> Google Translate or even the built in screen reader of your OS will do an extremely good job given enough context

Google translate does not - I see it get readings wrong on very basic sentences with plenty of context on a daily basis. It doesn't make it useless. The website mentioned the font wouldn't show furigana if the reading was ambiguous so I was basing my judgement on that, obviously if it's just always wrong, that's not useful.

As far as I know, all the automated options out there (wether it's Furiganator, the chrome extension, or Google Translate's pronunciation) are far from 100% accurate. I still find both to be very useful, I just don't rely on them to be the absolute truth; they still help me on a daily basis. The web page for this font mentioned it didn't show any furigana if it was ambiguous (I haven't verified),and someone else here mentioned it was ~80% accurate. I respectfully disagree with the fact that it's useless if not perfect; I've personally found all these tools useful, and have not learned a single "wrong reading" because of them because I don't use them as a tool to learn kanji readings to begin with.

> but it's also a terrible idea that nobody should actually use, because Japanese kanji readings are famously ambiguous and context-dependent

Seems a bit drastic. Don't use it as the main font in a japanese textbook, sure, but use it with the disclaimer that it's not perfect and will get some readings wrong? Why not, still pretty useful. Should people also not use Google Translate? (also, you can stuff an entire llm in a font, it's been done).

I think they might be in the process of re-designing the site and/or moving docs because it all used to work not that long ago, but the site design was completely different last time I checked.

> It seems like you already understand the differences.

Honestly I was about to ask the same questions as the parent comment. Whenever I'm interested in something I usually look at what available tools exists out there already; seeing a new tool mentioned that I've never heard of before, my reflex is to ask "oh neat, what makes it different than the existing tools?". I don't think the question was ill-intended, just genuine curiosity; assuming that you wrote your library because you had no idea build123d existed rather than because you were unsatisfied with it and wanted to tackle the problem differently is a bit of a leap.

Yup, that's very possible; when I do manual color inversion I usually fill a layer with the film base color, and use the "subtract" blend mode to account for it, else I get much "cooler" colors not unlike what is shown in the demo movie.

I use a sous-vide circulator to get the products ~1F above the recommended 102F for the shortest possible development time (3.5min) and never had any problems! The kit I use (cinestill) is a 2-bath process (Developer, and Blix) and not accounting for the time to get the products to 103F, developing a roll of C41 film takes less time than B&W and gives me more consistent results.

Weird, c41 is an extremely standardized process. Developing times, temperatures, results etc. are very consistent. I get the exact same results by developing it at home than when I get it done at a lab. B&W is a lot more subjective and most labs will charge you more to develop it because it has more variables and can't be as easily automated.

Scanning and color reversal is where you'll probably see a difference for color negatives, but development, if done properly, should be very similar.

I think he's referring to the video at the top which is unavailable (for me anyway, in Canada). The rest of the article however is available.

"An appeal to authority is an argument from the fact that a person judged to be an authority affirms a proposition to the claim that the proposition is true."

I don't think the person you replied to was claiming that DEC64 was good or bad because it was written by Crockford? Didn't feel like he was passing any judgement, merely pointing out who the author was...

Agreed. It seems like such a small detail, and yet, playing this web version, I realize how much I depend on it!

One advantage is to instantly stream video files for most torrents. If someone else on put.io downloaded a given torrent before you, it's available for streaming in mp4 immediately (and that's the case for most torrents I've added to put.io)
