I had the same thought about MSOffice lately. Some things shall not run in a web browser - the name says it all : it is made for browsing. Period.

Copy-pasting...Does anyone remember Ctrl+Insert and Ctrl+Delete and Ctrl+Shift+Insert ? I came very late to the usage of Ctrl+X/C/V.

Shot in the dark for any photoshop users out thereNah, it is like all these MSOffice clones : good, but does not top the real thing. Actually, I am still using Photshop 7 - No online licensing required, and just enough features for me to be able to know most of them.

Yes, because
uint32_t read_col=rgb16_to_vector(dest[i]);

Shot in the dark for any photoshop users out thereIn photoshop, you can superpose different layers, and decide for each how it will "blend" with the layers below. The simplest blend way is to simply superpose the layer content, so you see at first what is on the layer on top, then what is on the layer below it but for what is on the first layer, and so on. Like a pile of cards that are not aligned, you'll see the top card and bits of the cards below it if you look from above. And then you can apply a formula for each layer blending, that can be different for each. For the pile of cards, you can say that you want to merge only the red colors in the final rendering, or the pixels that are above a certain saturation value, or below a certain brightness, and ignore all other, or multiply the pixel values. If you have a pile of blue and red cards, and only merge red, you'll end up with a solid big chunk of merge red cards surrounded by bits of untouched blue cards below (assuming the top card is red). As you pointed out, each of the layers have an opacity value (alpha-blending) which is independent from the blending mode. It is quite easy to grasp if you can get in touch with a photoshop version : simply create a bunch of layers with different geometrical shapes on them, and play with the predefined blending/compistion mode for each layer.

CCC OTDAh okay ! Sorry for the question, I am still trying to understand the subtleness of CCCs, so sometimes need an explanation. I managed to solve only one since DD started with them, so I still hope to up the count.
-
CCC OTDThis part was clear. I understood so far the word "around" as : the word along with it would be cut in syllables which would be put "around" the rest of the clue. So in this case "ring around" = "Circle around" = "Cir - rest of the clue - cle". In this case however, "around" means "sounds like". Which I did not expect. Not only does explaining it break the charm, but it seems that I cannot even bring it to my point. :^) Silly me :) !

Aren't these almost equivalent, at some point ? Thinking in this way : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/879535/what-is-the-difference-between-a-template-class-and-a-class-template[^]
-
CCC OTDThat is a pretty good guess. Does "around" mean "sounds like" ? I thought it was a clue that the text is within the word, like Cir-something-cle.
