That is damned odd; I wrote the post on my phone (Android ‘WordPress’ app), but nothing _should_ have been underlined. Seems to be full of spans for some reason.

(You already know about the formatting/underlining weirdness in this post, right?)

Thanks especially for publicizing the San Francisco hackathon and for the patch review.

Comment on Automatic photo orientation in MediaWiki 1.18 by brion

Generic — but in the vast majority of cases you’re already scaling down, so by rotating before recompression you haven’t lost anything — you only would on a full-size image, which will very rarely be viewed for digital camera-sized images.

Is the rotation performed by generic image-processing functions (e.g. ImageMagick or PHP GD), or by lossless JPEG editors (e.g. exiftran, jpegtran)?

Rotating JPEGs without using a lossless editor is subject to potential quality losses. While most editors might not mind, there are cases where the quality differences could matter (digital watermark, images demonstrating steganography, images with very high frequency components, etc.). Thus, I’m wondering if the rotation is performed losslessly.

License info is ad-hoc textual data in the description; currently this is bundled with the “File” section.

Linking can be made to work — I’ll make a note to poke that.

Where does the license info go? In the “File” section?

Also, linking to specific sections (:File:Example.jpg#filelinks) doesn’t work with this.

Comment on Top Ten Good Things About Taking Off Your Glasses by Aryeh Gregor

Sadly, most of those don’t work for those of us who can’t see the nose in front of our face without our glasses. For me to be able to read normal-sized text on my computer screen without my glasses, I have to be so close my eyes can’t focus. Zooming in as much as Chrome will allow, I still can’t read even headings from a normal viewing distance without squinting.
