> Accept that the 0.0..01% case of absurdly popular works will end up making less money

For books and music maybe the difference is not quite that big, but for games and movies these 0.0..01% cost so much more to make that they would definitely not get made if they made significantly less money.

In this analogy I think it would be more appropriate to call them a lockmaker, and a lot of gates have been using this lock. Finding and fixing every lock is where the effort comes from, and some locks may not be found for years to come.

I understand that, what I am saying is, that the upper bound can never be useful because the lower bound is already so high that we cannot run U+1 steps, ever.

Hm, I'm not sure I would say that knowing an upper bound would be any help in solving these open problems, unless the way to prove that upper bound would involve a collatz type problem. We already know from the lower bound of BB(6) that we cannot iterate that far in this universe.

Given USD is in the list, I am a little bit surprised that alembic (.abc) isn't.

Blender is a tool that gives you a lot of options and some of those would be "wrong", so it is partly up to the user to know what is correct. The defaults have been "correct" for a long time already though, at least regarding linear vs gamma space.

Given that today is 6th Oct, I am gonna guess 06-10-2021 means today, and not the 10th of June. More often than not American dates would use a 06/10/2021 format, I think?

This seems to be missing a return in the NULL check for handle in the match_file function. This leads to fgets being called with a NULL pointer, which I don't know what it does, it may be OK.

I would argue that this is why a "better C" can be useful, it's the kind of error that would be much harder to make in rust.

I hate Photoshop. ;)

It's a jumbled mess of features added over the years with no coherent UI workflow between them. It hides way too much of the complexity of image editing in one-click-effect solutions, that often don't compose well.

I don't know of any good competitors in its price range though. I would recommend Nuke if it wasn't that expensive.
