sage 🌿<p>treating your servers like they're cattle - petting and treasuring because they're beautiful creatures who deserve to know kindness</p><p>am I doing it right</p>
sage 🌿<p>early microbenchmarks from a user are showing vips-ffm is ~50-70% faster than AWT, and ~10-35% faster than libvips-via-JNI approaches 🎉</p><p>(for tiny ~50x50 files, the overhead of any FFI/FFM takes over, but vips-ffm still improves that overhead by ~10-25%)</p><p><a href="https://github.com/lopcode/vips-ffm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/lopcode/vips-ffm</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

sage 🌿<p>my remarkable paper pro shipped today and it's a joy all the way from the packaging, setup, to actually writing on it 🥰</p>
sage 🌿<p>just shipped a new version of vips-ffm which uses the libvips operation API instead of using raw bindings, meaning all operations get nice inline docs, failures are more graceful, and mismatched lib versions are much less likely to cause segfaults 🎉 </p><p><a href="https://github.com/lopcode/vips-ffm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/lopcode/vips-ffm</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
