After the very cool #qoi #quiteokayimage #format , #phoboslab has created the #qoa #quiteokayaudio #format https://phoboslab.org/log/2023/02/qoa-ti.. Very good, I am struggling to hear the difference in #wav and #qoa https://phoboslab.org/files/qoa-samples/ The killer #application of this is for sure #wireless #devices and #earbuds !
Interesting little #gif #format #decoder for #embedded #devices https://hackaday.com/2022/12/21/squeezin..
Bloody hell, a #cd and #dvd can be a really #longlife #format https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation-in..
Interesting, #bigfat appears to be a way to #extend the #old #fat 32 #format to address larger than 4GB of #files https://www.segger.com/products/file-sys.. Would like to see if this also works with FAT12!
Nice little #embedded #image #format named #pif https://hackaday.com/2022/05/08/creating.. As one of the #hackaday #comments suggests, #lvgl could benefit from using the format over #png !
The #quiteokimage #format is really nice #lossless #image #compression https://qoiformat.org/ Definitely worth checking out, I hope it sees more wide #adoption !
Interesting speedy #image #format #qoi https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi Could be interesting to use it on a #backend for a #server that collects #images !
Interesting #article about dropping #support for #iso #images in an #os #release https://bkhome.org/news/202112/why-iso-w.. I never realised the #iso #format is so insane. Still, not having an #iso file is quite #inconvenient !
Interesting, now I am wondering whether #deadsocial should have a #relational #database such as #sql or a non-relational database such as #nosql https://lowendbox.com/blog/sql-vs-nosql-.. Given that currently everything is in #json #format - the transition to #nosql would likely be far easier! #deadsocial was specifically #designed with this #datastructure in mind!
Nice work by #google on a new #jpeg #format named #jpegxl https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/0.. One of the really interesting parts is in initially displaying something for the end user to see whilst the rest of the data is loaded. One of the things that can be done is displaying #polygon #svg #approximations of the image: https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/poly..
This is exactly my thinking regarding the call to retire the #csv #format - did they not think that the original authors of the format didn't think of the issue of #metadata - and that it cannot be trivially resolved? https://gist.github.com/seece/97d02d6518.. I will say this thought: I have personally been bitten by a program *I wrote* that output CSV data and had #variablelength columns...
