A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

  2. Open the console and run the following JavaScript code:
setInterval(() => {
  for (const d of document.querySelectorAll('div[data-testid="unlike"]')) {
    d.click()
 }

Pixel aspect ratios - a potential issue in object detection?

Pixel aspect ratios - a potential issue in object detection?

Updated: Jan 25, 2021

Quick write-up about pixel aspect ratios in video files, and how they might affect performance in an object detection pipeline. I found very little good information about this online, so I decided to write this to summarize my findings.

Tl;dr: scroll down to the "final solution" code, for how to deal with this issue, using Python/OpenCV.
