Always really enjoyed him on TechTV and This Week In Tech. Good chemistry with Leo Laporte- made for some very fun shows.

That said, Affinity is quite fair fast even on huge files. You can bring over like 80% of your Photoshop muscle memory.
Honorable mentions depending on your needs: Figma, Penpot, Krita
Be really careful who you give your projects keys to, folks!
"Information should be free", sure, but lets not kid ourselves, these massive new AI companies are making themselves new gatekeepers with new artificial moats for themselves. Information is not federated / distributed anymore.
We need "GPL for AI" that restricts AI scrapers from performing content theft/repackaging.
I'm fairly convinced these are bot / LLM generated; the content is nonsensical garbage.
PS: If an LLM needs a whole seperate fork to understand your content, the LLM is failing at it's job.
PS PS: I want to highlight that the PR itself also seems to be an excuse to get the library quantizor made pulled in as a new dependency. Nasty.
Now I'm curious how sharding/routing is handled- which seems like the final piece of the puzzle for scaling writes.
Not convinced the language would actually be useful, but I like the ideas for portability.
The annual scheduled vists are for older people / seniors.
I doubt Rebecca ever got that chance. Sure, surprise late stage cancer happens, but it's often caught when you get semi-annual checkups.
MT = Machine Translation
In this context.

I legit cannot buy anything on Amazon. Reddit and Epic Games are also broken.
Moved to Dev-C++
Nowadays just any editor and using GCC directly
Eternally greatful for open source, Microsoft charged thousands for Visual C++ back then.
Amazon gets far too greedy- particularly bad when you need egress.
Also an "amazon core" is like 1/8th of a physical cpu core.
It's always a small vocal fraction or they'd be using a different language.
IMHO this is already over-engineered as the frameworks being critisised; no simplification happening here.
It's not only just about separation of concerns, but also separation of crashes/bugs/issues. FastCGI servers can run for years without restarts.
Thread creation/teardown/sleeping has gotten a lot faster as well in linux.
https://php-fpm.org/about/ it may be old but PHP-FPM is still one of the best FastCGI servers from a pragmatic point of view... ex: the ability to gracefully hot reload code, stop and start workers without losing any queries... all in production.
Before that you had... Sprite Animation Toolkit by Ingemar Ragnemalm which powered Escape Velocity, etc.
Probably not entirely, but straight from the author.
