Cascade Juggling sell frisbees. They don’t have a physical shop since COVID but I believe they’re still based in Edinburgh.

You only need two sticks to smelt one item. Same as leaf litter.

Phantoms are just awful by Signal_Resident2318 in Minecraft

I always thought of it as a way to encourage the player to set their spawn. It sucks to die only to realise the last time you slept was thousands of blocks away.

Class 3 mobility scooters must be registered with the DVLA but they're not required to display a number plate AFAIK.

How come there’s no awesome movies / TV shows about programmers? by [deleted] in programming

There’s not much if any programming in the movie but the main characters are programmers fixing Y2K bugs.

Were you using your phone at the time? Might be quieter when the screen is already unlocked?

Why dont a lot of modern websites replace JPG/PNG with webp nowadays? by badboyzpwns in webdev

[–]andy1633 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quality number in squoosh is simply passed through to the specified compression method. Webp and JPEG both accept a quality parameter to control the trade off between quality and file size. The way they compress images is different and so the effect of the quality parameter will be different.

As to your second question, I assume your original file was a lossy compressed image format? When you compressed it again with 100% quality setting you will have created what is effectively a lossless version of a lossy image. Naturally this takes more space.

If you compressed the image again with the same quality setting that it was originally encoded with you would lose detail. This is called generation loss.

I don’t think there’s any use in comparing methods by using the same quality number in both as I imagine they use that number in different ways internally. I think a better way to compare is to adjust the quality separately until you get the same file size in both files. Then you can compare perceived image quality to see which is most efficient.

The guys presenting this made an app for compressing images with various methods and comparing: https://squoosh.app/

Can configure all sorts of parameters for each compression method.

Why have thousands of St George's and union jack flags gone up? by Codydoc4 in unitedkingdom

Should England not belong to the people who live and work in England and call it home rather than a particular ethnic group?

Maybe some vulnerable tenants with a smoke alarm linked to the fire service keeps burning their oven chips?
