I had someone steal my MIT open source software (that I sell for $5) and they are selling it for $11 or more. My software is 8+ years old; they are lying to the customers that they have been developing theirs for years. Very frustrating.

JPEG XL is a superior replacement for JPEG. It is better in basically every way to JPEG.

TIL: JPEG XS - an image and video codec that offers both visually and mathematically lossless quality for low latency implementations.

Additionally, JPEG XS compressed content is indistinguishable from the original uncompressed content.

Got delayed on my 8th anniversary release of Video Hub App - hoping to get it out in March / April. I have some bug fixes and new features in my app for browsing and organizing video files across local and network drives.

Sortition may be what you're looking for: "sortition is the selection of public officials or jurors at random, i.e. by lottery, in order to obtain a representative sample". No one can amass power because it's short term and random.

REQUEST to include the 4DWW (Four Day Work Week) tag & text in the description to provide a clear signal to companies that workers are yearning for it.

Never read the first two, love Accelerando, unsure what I was missing; feels like a well-written self-contained story.

I once commented on HN how my favorite Sci Fi novel is Accelerando and the author, Charles Stross, replied to it suggesting I try his The Rapture of the Nerds he co-wrote with Cory Doctorow; I loved it when I read it too.

I love HN - it's basically the only website I visit these days (aside checking mail, watching YouTube, and gardening my GitHub repositories).

Thank you for all the suggestions! I like them and will try to implement at least a few in the coming year (I end up spending more time towards other exciting projects like writing a sci-fi novel and DIY remodeling my house).
