IIRC Most of them run using the EXTn FS. BTRFS's raid support isn't considered officially production ready yet; and AIUI licensing incompatibilities make shipping a product with the Linux kernel and ZFS both pre-installed problematic. I covered why they don't just port their base platform to BSD a bit earlier over on the insider forum[^].
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thanks: I get a great deal of pleasure from these images and get a chance to learn something. Time well spent, I would say!

The explanation there says "digitally reprocessed".
Just wondering the steps in that digital reprocessing ...
... remove noise ... sharpen ... pseudo-color ... what all, and in what order?
|
|
|
|
|
Virtually all of them are re-processed in some way: for me, does not lessen the beauty or the lesson.
|
|
|
|
|
Agree. No lessening of the beauty or magnificence. Makes one feel sooooooooo very insignificant on both the time and size scales.
Just curious as to what image processing they do on the raw images.

I searched for troll on Google maps and it took me to Global Advisors[^]. I find it funny.

So, feeling a tiny bit less pressure to code all the time, I have turned to finding silly little games for my Android phone. I only have two so far, but I'm hoping someone here can suggest some more. The two I can suggest, as very simple and easy time wasters are, Snood[^], and Dots[^].

How are things in Jo'burg? I heard on news that foreigners have closed their shops and are leaving. Is it safe, as foreigner, for me to go to Maboneng Precinct?

I actually don't know, beside isolated news reports. The most troubled city is Durban, a cool 500km from Joburg. Then, most of the violence is targeting African immigrants, so I doubt you would be a direct target, but, bare in mind, those prone to the xenophobia are largely uneduacted, thus active without reason.

I was in Durban a week before this started so I guess I was lucky. I really haven't been to Maboneng in a while and was really hoping to be there. Next time I guess then.
On news they said people have closed down shops in CBD. I was in Rosebank this afternoon and did not find any discomfort there.

Can someone enlighten me? Of course my country's well renowned toiletnews papers told nothing about...

Oh, this about xenophobic attacks going on in South Africa. Not a big deal I believe for many. Check this[^] out.

Of the 8 games that I have installed, I mostly play Farkle, 7 Little Words, and Trivia Crack.

7 Little Words and Red Herring are good.

There's Snood for Android?!
That game used to drive me crazy, on the PC!

Also drove me crazy - together with several colleagues. It was a huge office craze circa 2001/2.

"Simon Tatham's Puzzles" is basically the only Android game I play these days.
|
|
|
|
|
I second this. I have it on Android and iPad.
|
|

|

Oh. I forgot to add suggestions.
Dink Smallwood[^] is a laugh.
4096[^] is the latest "classic" puzzle.
Other than that, I mostly use emulators (e.g. ePSXe[^] and My Boy![^]
