The reports feature of Visual DB seems to have most of what you are looking for: https://visualdb.com/

It has sophisticated filters and you can share reports with your team (as opposed to exporting CSVs).

I do. If it were possible we'd surely see them everywhere. Even if time travel was a one-way trip there's enough future billions of us that there'd be massive numbers with the sort of incurable fascination seth the past that they'd be motivated to travel back and see what it was like. Doesn't really seem any more or less likely than alien intelligence at any rate.

Time traveling humans is more likely for the following reason: It requires only one thing: worm hole or some other yet-to-be-invented mechanism for traveling to the past. For this to be alien intelligence, two things are required: First alien intelligence has to exist, and second, they too need a mechanism for speedy travel, to travel to another galaxy such that they can reach the destination within an individual alien's lifetime.

I find this subject fascinating. As the article states, Navy pilots are on record as eye witnesses for this stuff, along with the various radar feeds, etc. I'm curious what HN thinks of the following:

There are 3 comprehensive possibilities (correct me if you think differently):

1. These crafts are ET origin

2. These crafts are human origin (secrete military tech or similar)

3. This is a psyop

Due to the supposed feeds and eye witness accounts, it seems infeasible there is a 'weather balloon' type explanation

Any of these 3 possibilities is very interesting. I have my own take for what is most likely. But I'd like to hear thoughts of others.

4. Time-traveling humans from the future. Don't discount that possibility!

I guess you're lucky that Apple and Samsungs have laptops that you like.

...and Asus... and Dell.. among others

> If you set it any in-between scale (such as 150% or 300%) then you will have display artifacts, such as horizontal lines appearing to have different widths when they are all in fact set to 1px.

This is only true with the approach macOS takes. When set to 150% on macOS the app renders at 200% and the compositor downscales. On Windows however there is no downscaling: the app renders directly at 150% thus avoiding any artifacts.

Weird... I have only ever seen this artifact on Windows machines, never on a Mac.

Fortunately on Windows and Linux you don't have to scale the same way as Apple does pixel doubling everything. And even Apple has shipped laptops where the default display resolution is not a integer scale of the panel resolution (e.g 12" MacBook).

I have been to BestBuy and tried out laptops with non-integer scaling (150% or even 300%) and observed the display artifact I mentioned previously.

It's ~190ppi and retina is about 200 with laptops. What's the big deal? Also the lower the resolution is the higher fps can be hit in games.

This 16 inch laptop has 2560x1600 resolution. If you set it to 200% then that's the equivalent of 800 pixels which is what you expect in a 13 inch laptop. For a 16 inch laptop there's not enough pixels.

Why set it to 200%? Because as Steve Jobs has explained, the only resolution that looks good after 100% is 200%. Then 400%. If you set it any in-between scale (such as 150% or 300%) then you will have display artifacts, such as horizontal lines appearing to have different widths when they are all in fact set to 1px.

What does "200%" resolution mean?

I prefer displays with a resolution where I don't have to do any scaling honestly.

petilon · 3 years ago
200% means double the resolution of the "previous era" (1990s and 2000s), which was around 96 dpi. Modern applications will not see any scaling artifacts.

Applications from the "previous era" that are not HighDPI-aware will get scaling... each application pixel will occupy 4 physical pixels.
