Project mention: Sharp Bilinear Filters: Big Clean Pixels for Pixel Art | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-16
> that to the display resolution using bilinear
On that topic, Pillow so-called binilnear isn't actually bilinear interpolation [1][2], same with Magick IIRC (but Magick at least gives you -define filter:blur= to counteract this)

Project mention: What I Learned Comparing Zilliz Cloud and Deep Lake for Scalable Vector Search | dev.to | 2025-06-09As I scaled up a semantic search engine for multi-modal content, I found myself at a fork in the road. Should I lean into a purpose-built vector database like Zilliz Cloud, or embrace a more flexible data lake approach with Deep Lake? These tools promise vector search at scale—but they come from fundamentally different architectural philosophies.
