Unless your encoding has a special value that, by definition, is euler’s constant :p
Honnestly those razor-blades are a scam and I spend a lot less money since I switched to safety razors. A bit more technical to use but totally worth it I think


SEO breaks the web, writer was a hero :)
I guess there are two kinds of magic. There is the magic of Fourrier which is lossy with funny math. But it is understandable that one can get higher compression ratios when it’s lossy. But I find it even more magic that we can still find better ways to encode images losslessly. I would have thought we had already long found the optimal way
