Temperature feels like 4°C / 39°F Precipitation is not expected Hurricane force winds from the north east, 6259 MPH
Sounds like a good drying day.

Bah - that's nothing! In Yorkshire, we've got 16,281 MPH winds!

I wouldn't hang the washing out today if I was you - it'll end up wetter than when you hung it out...

Many a religious text has predicted the apocalypse, but in the end it was the BBC Weather app who predicted it correctly.
But lo and behold, people laugh and tell you not to worry.

What if Earth suddenly stopped spinning?
The winds predicted by the Beeb are 6-16 times more powerful than the winds described in this video, to say nothing of the temperatures!

‘tis a beautiful summer’s day...
All is well, every bird is singing, and three venerable old gentlemen are gathered in the splendid garden of their retirement home. And, a question pops up:
“What is the fastest thing in Universe?”
“But everybody knows the answer to that! It is light. Nothing can travel faster than light. Einstein even provided mathematical proof.”
“Delusions, delusions! It is thought. My thought can travel from this hammock, to the Andromeda galaxy – millions of light years away – in a blink. That is countless of magnitudes faster.”
“Ah my dearest friends... have you learnt nothing? The fastest thing, in Universe, is crap.”
“Crap?”
“Crap??”
“But yes of course! I can can crap meself, before even thinking at all.”

I'm not sure if this will bear any fruit, but I'm asking on the off chance someone might know what I am going on about below.
I understand alpha-blending (pixels w/ opacity)
I don't understand compositing modes
They are something like these, but in my codebase they are not called this.
Blend modes - Wikipedia[^]
static const composition_function_t composition_solid_table[] = {
composition_solid_source,
composition_solid_source_over,
composition_solid_destination_in,
composition_solid_destination_out,
};
static const composition_function_t composition_table[] = {
composition_source,
composition_source_over,
composition_destination_in,
composition_destination_out,
};
These are the blend/compositing modes as they appear in my codebase.
The implementation of those functions is here, in case anyone's interested
plutovg/source/plutovg-blend.c at main · sammycage/plutovg · GitHub[^]
I need to adapt them so I need to understand them. I've tried following the code, but obviously I'm not doing it right because when I try to adapt it to do read/writes to RGB565 bitmaps some of my colors are coming back wrong.
For the most part I am using "composition_solid_source" and composition_solid_source_over" and the "source over" is what is confusing to me. I don't know what that means.
Any graphics afficionados/nadas be able to explain this to me in high level terms?

I use Photoshop v7 (2002) and only in the simplest of ways really, so I don't think I can help you. Though I will if I can.

I think I grok Photoshop quite well. I think the Wiki does a fine job of explaining the plethora of blend modes.
All PS blend modes produce one resulting RGBA layer, from two RGBA layers in.
It seems to me, after (possibly too) quick glance, that the functions you point to, take one RGBA in.
I assume you know this: The multiplication of R * R is not a direct integer MUL. It is a "normalised" MUL.
i.e. 0x80 * 0x80 is not 0x4000 it must be seen as 0.5 * 0.5 == 0.25
"If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going"

Sorry if this sounds dumb but, how can 0x80 become 0.5 ?

0x80 is 128 which is half of 256, which is a byte.
I have a function called BYTE_MUL() in my code that does multiplication by 1/255 of a value, in which case 0x80 is about half.

That's what I assumed was happening but didn't know for sure - thanks for clarifying
