One of about 2 to 4 plugin formats (CLAP, VST 3, VST 2 which is obsolete, Audio Unit only on Macintosh, LV2 and DSSI only on Linux), not many.

For most uses, SQL databases are easy to use and general enough to allow practically unlimited growth, "stringy queries" usually need less "wrangling" than accessing bare files correctly, and designing and implementing file formats is a luxury (usually done because optimizing for file size and compression is traditional).

The article is strangely supportive of Adobe, far beyond a normal person's sense of ridicule.

Software development is about revenue, but specifically Adobe's revenue:

  >  Automated or semi-automated cloning to steal revenue away from developers

Pay us, don't innovate:

  >  They’re spending minimum $2K to vibe code a Photoshop competitor when Affinity Photo is free and Photoshop costs $200 a year. Not very smart economics.

  >  Commercial apps innovate and lead. Open source apps like Blender follow the lead. Innovation costs a lot of money.

  >  Instead of hurling hate speech and bile at thousands of software engineers who lead innovation at large companies (Adobe, Autodesk, Maxxon, Celsys, and others), show them some gratitude for their efforts. They are the engineers who innovate and everyone else follows. Just because they work at a big company doesn't mean they are committing human rights abuses. We have a generation brainwashed by envy and hate instead of urging everyone to be greater and bigger.

Why do people hate Adobe more than other companies? What's the difference? Only sensitive insiders would pretend to ignore decades of enshittification.

  > Clip Paint Studio, Maya, 3ds Max and Cinema 4D, btw, are all subscription applications. But because those apps aren’t in demand by pirates Autodesk has not experienced the hate and bullying campaigns that Adobe has received.

People noticed the "underage children", but defending Adobe customer support is even more ridiculous:

  > And when it comes to customer support things become even sadder looking. One or two guys in a Discord chatroom cannot support a global user base, especially when those two guys are hunting for underage children to speak to on Discord (yes, I have seen what vibe coders do).

Not too many years ago, you had significant open source C++ libraries. You cared about them as much as you cared for customers.

Not fun enough.

And possibly too slow to be safe from space weapons from escort satellites protecting balloons, or too slow and clumsy for combat missions of any kind.

" It has a lift capacity of about 50% more than the Falcon Heavy, but one SLS launch costs as much as 40 Falcon Heavy launches"

I don't think they can make do with reduced capacity by splitting a lunar lander between 2 Falcon Heavy launches and assembling it in space.

Eolix has issues with issues, they don't exist any more in the Github project.

Persistent problems with increased hash lengths seem unlikely: if bad git clients have erroneous truncations or buffer overflows, they can either fix them instantly, problem solved (they have had many years to implement and test SHA-256), or fail to fix them and be written off as obsolete and incompatible: problem equally solved.

In the middle of vacuous complaints about slightly late tools and debatable threat models, I see one legitimate-looking concern in this article: submodules require either hashing algorithm and therefore force inconvenient upgrades.

Is it true? Where exactly the parent repository references hashes from the submodule repositories, and how could these links be generalized for compatibility?

The weight corresponds to a significant amount of fuel or missiles etc., or significantly better radars or other systems.

I don't think the Blackbird has the sort of engine that likes being "modulated".

There might be a side dish of catching foreign spies by waving a carefully prepared objective in front of them, not only confusing them.

A less generic strategic possibility: hiding something new and useful in the middle of crazy engineering, supply chains and training for the useless SR-71 restoration.

It must be appealing to people who want to get high, and heroin seems vastly superior in the same general category.

Public healthcare is keeping illegal Fentanyl out of Italy: there's no incentive to obtain contraband painkillers, which are not considered fun drugs.

You go to the hospital, you get the medications you need (and no more) for as long as you need them, and then you stop (or you deal with chronic conditions under medical control).

"... it’s not the committee’s fault. XML is what they had at the time, and it’s what people used. JSON was “discovered” in 2001 ..."

The committee had, at the very least, ASN.1. Not text, but any digital signature scheme has to be machine readable, not human readable.
