Re:Image file formats that didn’t make it

I worked on a library that had to process PDFs and grabbed a bunch of PDFs from archive.org and other open sources for testing, and as I recall, about 2% of them had at least one JPEG2000 image. So if you're in the PDF space it's probably still worth considering.

How long are you giving it for sleep to actually turn off? "Hybrid sleep", which is on by default now, can look like this - the monitor and peripherals will turn off first and then it can take another minute or so while the machine writes out its RAM for the hibernate portion.

Aviation isn't about unions though, it's a safety feature. There were a bunch of different roles at the company I worked for:
- High-level requirements author
- Low-level requirements author
- Coder
- Test author
- Test runner
and then each of those had a reviewer, for high-level requirements, low-level requirements, code review, test case review, test process and results review.
The FAA technically only requires that the author and reviewer for each step in the process are different, but the company tried to avoid having the same person write the requirements, code, and tests as well.

Wasn't the DAO supposed to be the first real app, and it failed so badly they had to hard-fork to fix it?

There's not a lot of corporate jets with that kind of range. It's more Gulfstream ($60MM+) than Embraer, Lear, or Cessna (~$20MM).

Are 1Password's files not encrypted? Store it publicly on your web site, email it to your friends, print it out in base64 in a machine-readable font and keep copies pinned on the wall of your cube. You still have to remember one password but at least you're depending on crypto instead of Dropbox's security.
