We actually worked on a demo WAV compressor a while back. We are currently missing codecs to run the types of predictors that FLAC runs. We expect to add this kind of functionality in the future, in a generic way that isn't specific to audio, and can be used across a variety of domains.
But, generally we wouldn't expect to generally beat FLAC. But, be able to offer specialized compressors for many types of data that previously weren't important enough to spawn a whole field of specialized compressors, by significantly lowering the bar for entry.
Instead of click-to-copy, you could do click-to-highlight, so that "right-click > Copy" highlights the text on right-click if it's not initially selected. There is some subtlety in the logic, because it shouldn't interfere when the user manually selects a substring.
I'm aware of that gesture, but I think it shows the point that it requires extra intention from the user to do select+copy on an input-looking field with copy button attached, instead of being part if the default ctc button experience.
Not that I am searching, but I wonder if there's already tog/nielson/other ux research on this specific interaction.
Evaporative cooling effectively "uses up" the water. It's possible to run chillers instead, but that consumes more electricity, and some power plants also use evaporative cooling.
Some water usage has highly questionable counting methodologies.
Like using if a datacenter is using hydroelectric power you count the evaporation from the dam reservoir as "used water".
I'm not an expert but imo correct accounting should really only consider direct consumption. It's very silly when we play games like having petro states have very high carbon footprints even if they don't actually burn the fuel.
If you have a circuit rated for 15 amps, and plug in 12 amps of solar, then the breaker won't trip until the circuit load exceeds 27 amps, which seems bad.
Hmm, if you have an appliance (like a clothes dryer) with a dedicated circuit, it seems like you could solve this by connecting there. If you have the balcony solar device plug into the wall and the appliance plug into the balcony solar device, then you can easily put an additional circuit breaker where it's needed.
So OpenZL is significantly better than zstd, but worse than flac.
