Anyone worked with super large images in a Cocoa (Mac) app? Think 300k x 300k pixels, in at least 16 bits per channel.

At very least I need to be able to read individual pixels out of a TIFF file.

Making a whole image buffer in CoreGraphics to store the decompressed file is not really feasible. Any suggestions how else I can read a subset of the image without doing this?

Every major tool that we use for our work now is built using web technology and they're all just awful software to use and interact with.

We as software developers seriously fucked up at some point — we've eschewed great products and services for mediocrity at a scale that's impossible to roll back.

Slack is “good enough”. Notion is "good enough”. Discord is “good enough”. They're all “good enough" to secure funding and deploy the enshittification parachute on their way down.

And there was the very first victim of #september11, Danny Lewin, founder of #akamai and a former #IDF soldier who, on #Flight11, tried to fight the #AlQueda terrorists highjacking the plane who slit his throat…
