Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-22 13:31:22

Resizing images in Rust, now with EXIF orientation support Resizing an image is one of those programming tasks that seems simple, but has some rough edges. One common mistake is forgetting to handle the EXIF orientation, which can make resized images look very different from the original. Last year I wrote a create_thumbnail tool to resize images, and today I released a small update. Now it’s aware of EXIF orientation, and it no longer mangles these images. This is possible thanks to a new ver

First 'perovskite camera' can see inside the human body

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-23 05:49:08

Physicians rely on nuclear medicine scans, like SPECT scans, to watch the heart pump, track blood flow and detect diseases hidden deep inside the body. But today’s scanners depend on expensive detectors that are difficult to make. Now, scientists led by Northwestern University and Soochow University in China have built the first perovskite-based detector that can capture individual gamma rays for SPECT imaging with record-breaking precision.

Take a Trip to the Final Frontier With This Year’s Best Astronomy Photography

When a comet meets solar winds, its nuclear coma—a bright cloud of gas around its core—reacts vibrantly to our Sun’s solar maximum, leaving a trail of stellar gas and dust across the solar system. Miraculously, the sky above June Lake, California, cleared up for a full 13 minutes for photographer Dan Bartlett to image the comet clearly enough for his photograph, “Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks Taking a Final Bow.” With incredible technological advances, the continuous flow of space photos can sometimes

By way of the nonprofit Israel365, the Israeli government funneled at least $70,000 to 15 MAGA creators to bring them to Gaza’s humanitarian sites, the Western Wall, and the Golan Heights, among other areas. “It sits here to spoil and be stolen,” Xaviaer DuRousseau captioned a

How can England possibly be running out of water?

news.ycombinator.com Helena Horton 2025-10-03 05:22:35

During the drought of 2022, London came perilously close to running out of water. Water companies and the government prayed desperately for rain as reservoirs ran low and the groundwater was slowly drained off. Contingency plans were drafted to ban businesses from using water; hotel swimming pools would have been drained, ponds allowed to dry up, offices to go uncleaned. If the lack of rainfall had continued for another year, it was possible that taps could have run dry. That, however, was jus

I’ve spent my fair share of time with it, and the new Anker Nano Power Bank is honestly everything you’d want out of a MagSafe battery bank.
