We had another dithering post a few days ago and nobody answered my question... I'm reposting in case someone who comes here knows the answer:

"Does anyone know of any application/tool that can perform palette dithering? The idea is "here is a n-color palette specified in their RGB values, here is the full-color RGB image, give me the best possible dithered image using the provided palette". The tools that I've used were underwhelming and produced results full of banding and artifacts.

Basically, great dithering in color instead of B/W."

EDIT: Thank you for the answers! I'll check all links.

I’m using this for making some quake inspired textures - it’s a bit clunky but works for me https://captain4lk.itch.io/slk-img2pixel

If you learn how to separate your logic in C++ and your views (GUI) in QML you can achieve the best of both worlds. C++ is fast and I love programming with it. QML is easy and powerful you can create slick looking apps with it with beautiful (and easy!) animations.

I bought the Udemy course of Bryan[1] and learned QML in one day. The next day I already had a prototype for a Kanban[2] that is based on Markdown.

That second link is the the sort of thing I wish I saw more being pushed as an example of QT. Looks great!

This is pretty darn crazy. One file runs on 6 operating systems, with GPU support.

yeah the section on how the GPU support works is wild!

Something that seems to permeate keyboard vs mouse debates is an unsaid assumption that some kind of robotic consistency/purity is the goal.

I don't buy that at all when a human being is involved. There are tons of actions I know perfectly well how to achieve with either the keyboard or the mouse, and which of those I unconsciously choose at a given instant varies based on what else I'm thinking about, precisely how I'm physically positioned, and just how I'm feeling. There no problem with that.

tfinch · 2 years ago
exactly this.

I've realized recently that (for me) mouse interactions come more naturally for more exploratory or creative work. I'm happy with my mouse! and yet for straight coding, or writing, I would rather keep my hands on the keyboard. It's fun to get good with all the tools(toys)!

Can you say more about the impact of SOC2 certifications? We’ve been selling to enterprises for years without any certifications, but with long and intricate security questionnaires needing to be filled out. Does that go away if you have a certification? Our sector isn’t very regulated (video games industry), but the question for SOC2 does come up regularly - however never as a blocker.

cries in post audit

So, they will be happy you have it, but will make you do all the questionnaires anyway.

Came here to say similar. In particular dhall does allow scripting (functions etc.) but is non-Turing-complete as a feature. This seems like a particular sweet spot to me as it allows for more dynamism than data formats like json/yaml while constraining the scope sensibly.

It also has very nice bindings with haskell and nix

also this is probably a nicer intro https://dhall-lang.org/

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else, so another alternative (that I've seen and really like conceptually, but haven't used so far) to all this wildness with YAML and JSON -> https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-lang, and for kubernetes specifically -> https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-kubernetes
