Ada_GUI VS qoi

Improvments to Ada GUI and a result change to the Ada-GUI version of Mine Detector

Improvements to Ada GUI

Some changes to the description of the King language. Some improvements and a new component in the PragmAda Reusable Components. Writing a summary of the FOSDEM presentation on [Ada GUI][https://github.com/jrcarter/Ada_GUI) for the Ada User Journal.

(Actually, for a GUI, the solution is to use a portable GUI such as Ada GUI, but for other cases this approach may be needed.)

Added additional dialogs to Ada GUI.

I did some work on Ada GUI and incorporated D. Norte de Moraes' 512- and 1024-bit versions of Threefish into the PragmARCs. I also prepared a presentation on Ada GUI for FOSDEM.

The only things I mentioned in What did You Work On posts are Ada GUI and King.

Improvements to Ada GUI.

My preference is for portability and Ada, so I like Ada GUI.

I'm working towards creating a direct implementation of Ada_GUI. I have something mostly work9ng, but it's rather ugly.

Her request is politely-phrased and reasonable. I don't think there's a legal or ethical issue, but respecting the wishes of others when it costs nothing is just kindness.

However, the way that some have seized on it, and then interacted with others in their communities is ... neither polite nor reasonable.

e.g. https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/issues/35

How do you know it's not a problem for the people who work with computer vision? Let's take this for example - sure, the request itself was presented very unprofessionally, but this is still an example of someone in a computer vision-adjacent field stating in no uncertain terms that they have a problem with the image.

Yes. Without a supporting statement, it's ad hominem. But I provided a supporting statement.

This is the issue I'm taking about: https://mobile.twitter.com/richgel999/status/146443578680850...

Where everyone agrees, yes, the image should be removed. They didn't know about its history. Would he please stop being a gigantic asshole about it.

So if that's not blowing things out of proportion, I don't know what is.

I don't know about CUDA, however I've made an AVX2 based encoder a few months ago : https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/pull/143

I intend to create an AVX2 based decoder but I had absolutely no time to work on side projects in the past three months.

You might also want to take a look at this streaming encoder if you want to encode large files with a tiny memory footprint : https://github.com/MKCG/php-qoi/blob/main/src/FFI/lib/qoi.c

Not only does compression improve this situation today, but using QOI means improvements may continue to come over time. QOI is a very new, open source image format, and that's already proving to be an advantage. By itself, QOI compression is pretty weak, but YoYoGames have forked it and worked in BZ2 compression to surpass the old PNG format. As QOI itself improves and as YoYoGames continues to work on it, it's almost guaranteed that we'll see the compression ratio in GameMaker get better over time.
