#ScaleFactor
Kurt Rathmann wanted small businesses to get their evenings back. ScaleFactor’s rise and closure reveal how difficult that promise was to keep.

はい! 「AnimatorのBlend Treeを使い、ScaleFactorInverseでArmatureに逆スケールを掛けて頭・手足のサイズを維持し、ScaleFactorで胴を細長くするアニメを動かします」ってウチのAstra氏は言っていたので、もし出来そうだったら試してみて!

ちなみに、openMSXの映像フィルタは
RGBTriplexもお勧めです。
ScaleFactor(倍率)は4
Scanlineは9~100%
Blurは88~98%

Blurは低いほどRGB各要素が分離した(高輝度では青が目立ちつなど)アナログRGBモニタっぽい感じがでます。

Remember ScaleFactor? The AI accounting 'revolution' that raised $100M and promised to save SMBs from financial chaos? What happened? Coming up in next post at 👉 StartupObituary.com

Athena32 features 512KB of sound memory and 24 voices, with a QOA-like compression scheme.

Sample data is divided into 128-bit blocks. Each block is 4bit flags, 4bit scalefactor, and then 40 3bit quantized residuals.

Like-

html += '<span style="max-width:100px">'

vs

html += '<span style="max-width:' + (someCrap * scaleFactor) + 'px">'

I do not understand how this causes the word-wrap behavior on the stuff inside the span to change

wtf, webdev?

Sounds like and excellent #scalefactor task!

Vantage stored the ScaleFactors with the document, as otherwise all the dimensions are relative to your local setting.
1mm = 1814DU *ONLY* when ScaleFactor=400

BTW The reason for the ScaleFactor shenanigans is that in RISC OS:
• Only point sizes are absolute
• OS units, Draw Units etc are relative to ScaleFactor [they are NOT hardwired to 90 or 180dpi, you’ve misread your PRMs]

e.g. this allows us to finely scale the GUI:

if you need me i’ll be over here playing around with an offscreenCanvas(width*scaleFactor, height*scaleFactor).

We bet you've spent more hours than you'd admit getting a row of partner logos to look right.

Our colleague @rosti.no automated it. Pixel density analysis, aspect ratio normalization. Just maths (not AI).

npm install react-logo-soup

i collapsed it into 1 pass over a Uint32Array, downsampled to ~45x45, reused canvases at module level, and added caching so changing baseSize/scaleFactor doesn’t re-scan

content detection: 1.4ms -> 37us per logo (38x)
full mount: 29ms -> 828us for 20 logos (35x)

・Added an empty HeadChop component to the prefab. If an object attached to your head has advanced functions (seats, bone transform animations) add the object to the HeadChop component with the ScaleFactor of 1! Only do this if you are encountering sync issues on objects!

Botkeeper. Bench. ScaleFactor.

Three AI bookkeeping companies. Hundreds of millions raised. All gone.

The pattern is clear: when your business gets real, you need people who get you.

The culprit is Android that changed the scalefactor of the site because the content became a tad too wide.

The workaround I PR’d back then also set the minimum scale factor to 1: github.com/Charca/view-...

I have added your report to the bug.
