Gimp development release 2.99.12 includes initial CMYK support
> What if the name of the software was CripplePhoto
Argumentum ad absurdum.
> I mean, no professional uses Gimp for photo editing
Perhaps because the lack of CMYK, the limited architecture for plugin, or the outdated UI have more to do than the name?
If the name was the real bottleneck for adoption, you can be sure that you'd see someone creating a fork with different branding and being widely successful. Oh, wait. It has been tried already! [0]

when your mum calls you by your full name
There is a bunch of folks who forked Gimp because they find the name offensive. Since they still have to refer to it they use euphemisms (such a "upstream") or call it "GNU Imp".

I REALLY want to create TakaMori fanart and post it here.
Glimps is a good one. It has pressure sensitivity support for drawing tablets. If you want something closer to Illustrator, Inkscape is your best shot.

Windows, A Consumer Product.
They're named by committee. No committee would have come up with "GIMP" (also forked as "Glimpse").

Show HN: Roast my SQLite encryption at-rest
> PS: I've got nothing against Turso, or libSQL. In fact I spent the last year perusing their virtual WAL API. The problem is that I found no documentation, nor any useful open source implementations of it. If there any I'd be very interested. So, thus far, I also don't have anything that drives towards libSQL.
Hey, this is v and I am an engineer at Turso. We do have some documentation and an example implementation of Virtual WAL
docs: https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/blob/ef44612/libsql-...
example: https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/blob/ef44612/libsql-...
for an open source implementation, you may check how Bottomless works. Bottomless is another project which does back up like litestream and it internally implements a Virtual WAL.
Bottomless - https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/tree/main/bottomless
I am sure we can improve our docs, make it more discover-able and easy to find. I am open to feedback and suggestions!

"If this one guy got hit by a bus, the software would fall apart."
sqlite already had an active community fork started by Turso called libsql. They are fixing longstanding API gaps the upstream team isn’t interested in supporting. For example, they added a native write-ahead log API, so you can plug directly into the WAL for streaming replication. This is possible-ish with upstream sqlite + LiteFs but litefs has to implement a whole FUSE file system and can’t run on Mac for that reason.
It’s more risky to run libsql because new features mean new bugs, but it seems worth it to me.

Show HN: My Go SQLite driver did poorly on a benchmark, so I fixed it
A bit of a tangent but for those who’d like to use SQLite for a backend, running it as a separate daemon could be an interesting choice, which would also remove there need of Cgo for the build and maybe make things like separate background job processes easier to accomplish. See [1], [2].

SQLite builds for WASI since 3.41.0
https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html
To summarize, instead of using one of the OSS licenses, the copyright holders simply declare the source to be in the public domain. In order to preserve that status they don't accept patches unless you submit some signed document that you agree with that.
To make things more complicated, they also use their a relatively niche version management system instead of git. Which would complicate making contributions (if they accepted them).
There's a popular fork that fixes all of these issues: https://github.com/libsql/libsql It is MIT licensed, on Github, and open for contributions.
Kind of a weird legal situation for a popular project like this that so many people depend on to have. Not judging; but it is odd. Seems like a lot of wasted efforts between users, would be contributors, and the people that forked this thing to address all that.

Get started with libSQL, a next-gen fork of SQLite
For a comprehensive view, check out the issues list for libSQL core and sqld. But mostly, I want libSQL to be a home for all builders who believe there is room to take a lean, mean, and SQLite-compatible embedded database to new heights. I’d love to see your contribution!
