Noted dragging edit handles was creating edits in the plugins since the razor tool came.  It was previously optimizing contiguous plugins.  This must have been taken out.  

 It got a new dedicated optimizer just for dragging edit handles.

Started pondering the idea of replacing all the time values in the EDL with double precision seconds.  Previous ideas were replacing them with nanoseconds.  It's not possible to replace the time units in the plugins.  Just doing it in the EDL seems viable.  That would lock audio & video edits together. 

 Playback would convert all the floating point times to frames & samples.

Helas, it's not clear if this would solve the problem of synchronized editing without a locking function.  It's continued to be rough going, even with the expansion of the alignment functions.

There's still a pulse audio migration on the TODO list & smarter default window positions for a new install.  It's all coming across as a lot less valuable than it did 25 years ago.  Bringing up a new Ubunt is similarly not moving the needle. It's really bloated, slow, & not the simplistic, portable UNIX lions got inspired by.  There has to be more motivation than engagement & click revenue.   There has to be a technical appeal to something.

 Lions got what they wanted from C64 development.  The juice was really just exploring bitmap techniques lions couldn't figure out at age 10.  It's unlikely even having original hardware would be very valuable.  It's unlikely the lion kingdom's disk spooled graphics would ever really work.  They would quickly wear out the disks.

The starship game died because there are zillions of starship games.  They all get 1 like & no-one plays them.

tube.py needs an option to address the end of lower resolution downloads.

The whole affair got lions pondering what their retirement should look like.  There might not be enough remaneing value in building robots & software, but doing nothing isn't appealing either.  Going out for food after thunderstorm time & watching late night talkshows while playing quake was where the happy time ended. 

It may end with daily drives into town for food, property manetenance & gardening.

Everything went up on Jan 1.  That's traditionally the stuff which offsets housing.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a sou...

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they ...
