> Therein lies the problem. Either someone in the governing body doesn’t understand the fundamental science behind how TVs and displays work, or they just don’t care. The fact is that 8K TVs, by nature of how LCD panels function, consume considerably more power than 4K TVs

And yes, we are talking about saving energy. Everything is said in the introduction. There is nothing scandalous in the choice of this venerable institution.

Sorry, but it didn't inspire me to read the article.

I have read all the article. Just a question arose: do we really need 8k TV?

Because I am not American, I can answer "yes" without reading the text.

Because I'm not a native English speaker, it's too hard to understand what they say.

That, or so the printer could more readily grip the crust while Earth was being fabricated. They usually remove those in post-processing but got lazy with these ones.

You're right. You can see that phenomenon every day with low-price manufactured objects. Even toys!

> Nobility was calling them impure (since not from noble blood)

Did the nobility in any country use to consider the blood of the people they ruled "impure"? Lowborn, sure, but "impure"?

I think it's a Germanic heritage.

Are there any reputable sources for that interpretation? At face value, it seems like a flimsy attempt at sweeping the unfortunate implications of the words "impure blood" under the rug.

But since nationalism was widespread and encouraged in that zeitgeist, and considering the context of a foreign invasion in which the lyrics were written, I am way more inclined to assume that the "impure blood" is that of the "ferocious soldiers" coming for the French.

First, Remember it was written in 1792 for the army of the French revolution. I'm French, I've heard a lot of of explanations about these words since I'm a child. Here's one of them: https://fr.quora.com/La-Marseillaise-contient-Quun-sang-impu.... Sorry for the French text.

This is a question that is sometimes very much discussed in France. Always in French : https://www.uneautremarseillaisepourlafrance.fr/blog/2015/12...

Hi everyone! I'm the lead developer of Zas Editor. I wanted to share some details about the editor you might be interested in.

The text-storage data structure, syntax highlighting and search features are written in Rust, and the UI is written in Swift since we wanted to create a native macOS experience. The Swift and Rust code talk to each other using C FFI, and no, that doesn’t take away the safety features of both languages.

We’re using the Rope data structure for text representation, and the tree-sitter parser for syntax highlighting and some smart features like file outline, local renaming and symbol search. All other language features are powered by LSP servers (rust-analzyer and gopls).

I’d be happy to answer any questions under this comment or anywhere else in this thread.

"Why should I use Zas Editor instead of free XXXX?". I don't know, I have no Mac.
