that... is the point of the joke

edit: ok, i did not realize that. so the image is linked directly from xkcd.com. but here is the cleaner version. is that some randall's meta joke?

so...

As an easter egg, the high-resolution (pixel-doubled) version of the comic is merely the comic resized to 50% and then to 400%, making it an image of poorer quality rather than a higher resolution image as for other comics, demonstrating how repeated image scaling can also introduce artifacts into images. There appears to be another easter egg in which between 21 November 2016 and 10 December 2016 (both Internet Archive pages), the original hi-res image was replaced by the pixel-doubled image. However, the image URL below the comic still links to the hi-res image.

The img-tag also includes the pixel-doubled version as a srcset-attribute: srcset="//imgs.xkcd.com/comics/digital_data_2x.png 2x" This causes browsers on high-resolution displays (pixel density ratio 2) to show the low-quality version of the image instead of the standard-quality one and leads to people re-visiting the comic on modern displays to experience degradation compared to the remembered version.

I remember when my dad was skeptical that I copied a game from my friend's computer onto ours via floppy disk. "A game is too big nowadays to fit on a floppy," he said. "Just you wait," I said.

I had copied the shortcut from the desktop.

Oh how excited you must have been when you copied the shortcut onto your computer's desktop and saw that it transferred over just fine.

And then how disappointed once you tried clicking on that shortcut...

Buddahriffic 5 points 17 days ago

There's a chance it didn't copy over fine because it might have grabbed the icon from the shortcut target rather than save it with the shortcut file. So the transfer might have ended with a sinking feeling seeing that blank icon that was confirmed when it was double clicked (maybe with a brief moment of hope upon seeing that it wasn't just an OK error box but had a browse button to find the correct target, before realizing that they didn't have the files).

I remember reading a thread on Swedish computer forum.

There was a guy who had "compressed" his whole media livrary and saved it to a floppy disk, reinstalled his computer and now wanted to restor the media files....

Yeah, what he had done was to misunderstand what an MD5 hash was, he thought it was an extremely efficient compression algorithm....

And this is one of the many reasons I tell people that "an untested backup does not exist"

So all you have to do now is go through all the combinations of bits for a file, flag the ones with the same MD5, and manually look through those to see which one it is.

AI isn't replacing those jobs. Those jobs were lost to fund speculation. AI isn't doing their jobs, their former coworkers are doing more work. It's an important distinction. Those salaries are funding things that don't exist yet, so the workers couldn't have been replaced by them.
