You're being deliberately obtuse. Canvas has many many features. Wikis and discussion boards and quizzes (with some anticheat) and groups and the list goes on and on. Furthermore, while it was never the flashiest thing, it did it better than many of its predecessors. Yes, an individual class may not use all of these features, and yes canvas has suffered feature creep even over my time as a student and yes canvas is not doing anything technically challenging, but there is enough of it that each school rolling their own everything would be a drastic waste of everybody's time and money.

Any sufficiently competent typescript developer can build out an adhoc wrapper (that just inherits the type definition and passes along whatever it is passed after altering it however needed) in under a hour. It doesn't scale in the sense that you don't expose a configuration, but config as code is king.

(Source: have built out much more scuffed variants of this than the one I just described like https://github.com/boehs/ajar)

I guess a LLM can do as well. Although that's not something I'm quite ready to admit.

Does this support Fusion as well? I've done photo editing using a fusion workflow before and while clunky it was the only program that could reasonably accommodate my needs at the time.

No. What they're saying is ISO multiplies brightness, essentially exasperating differences. Roughly, ISO 200 is 2x gain and so on. So if you have one pixel with a brightness value of 1, and the pixel to the left has a brightness of 5, and an ISO of 500, then it becomes brightness 5 and 25 respectively. Oversimplification.

(I am a social democrat, not a libertarian) All models require to some extent the youth working, but not all require a part of the youth's fruits of their labour being taken and put into social security. A libertarian might say that the onus is on the boomers to save enough money to fund their own retirement so that they're not reliant on the social security safety net.

I think what you are referring to is the economical model of growth at all costs (for this I use the term blitzscaling)

I think of hyperscaling as more like growth faster than what the team can manage, for any reason.

Hypergrowth can be natural. Random example but what if you designed a microblogging service and all of the sudden the biggest platform gets bought by a facist and users come flocking? You could start turning users away or you could work as fast as you can to accommodate them and make small mistakes along the way. Both of these are reasonable decisions and neither one is really wrong.

I would just like to point out that Michael Reeves (the poster, no relation to youtuber) is a high schooler who has also found numerous high impact vulnerabilities in Apple software. Immensely talented.
