null | tkannelid | null | So, I do like SQLite as an application file format in general. It might be not too bad for git. The rest of the examples, though? Let's take a look.
MSOffice and OpenDocument documents tend to feature a lot of stuff that needs to be blobs (recursive nested structures in a SQL database are nasty). Epub likewise.
I'm the most familiar with epub, so let's take a look at how that would be implemented. It should be reasonably representative.
The first advantage we have: the content type file. Epubs are required to contain, as the first member in the zip archive, a file named `mimetype`, with uncompressed content `application/epub+zip`, with no extra fields. I've found zip libraries that don't let you order archive members, libraries that don't let you store data uncompressed, and libraries that automatically insert extra fields. I didn't succeed at finding a zip library that would let me create the member as the epub standard requires and ended up using one that inserts extra fields. (Granted, I only tried five.)
So this is arguably an advantage. If it's a sqlite file and has `.epub` as an extension, we'll consider it an epub file. If we want to check more thoroughly, we can look inside for a table named `mimetype` containing the appropriate value. Which is probably more work than the `file(1)` command will do.
The main content of an epub is a series of xhtml documents. These might reference other files -- primarily images and stylesheets. So we'll start off with the pile-of-files recommendation. ID, path, blob of data.
Next we have content.opf and toc.ncx. There's some overlap. They tell us what to put in the table of contents, some book metadata, and an ID and path for each file in the archive. The order for items in the main content. We can add most of that to the `files` table, the rest to a book metadata table. There's also a `type` field that's used for the cover, maybe some other stuff. The ID of the cover is probably better on the book metadata table.
So we've got about three tables.
A good chunk of the improvement was just not sprinkling data around in more places than necessary. Some more gains were from the fact that we can directly associate metadata with the relevant file. Then the single-value tables caused a bit of awkwardness.

This is part of the problem, but another aspect of the problem is cultural. Software engineers tend to make up their own ad-hoc abstractions for things rather than relying on decades of mathematical research into creating reusable abstractions (group theory, order theory, ring theory, set theory, category theory). These abstractions enable us to equationally reason about our code's correctness and have a better methodology for proving it correct. Also, these abstractions allows the construction of more principled specifications, which is where human error would come into play once it is eliminated from programs.

People always tote their $160k jobs in the Bay Area, but only to realize their $8k/mo net pay is decimated by high sales and income taxes, high rent, higher food and transportation costs, etc. Every dollar this baseline pay goes up, the tolerances for increases in base CoL proportionally increase.
In real economic terms in the big tech hubs, salaries haven't increased by much. You are better off making $80k in a midwest city because your comparative real wages put you in a higher effective income bracket (likely the 80th percentile).

null | bleed_air_blimp | null | >Another problem is that the visas are distributed by lottery.
They're not supposed to be. The law on H1Bs have always intended for the visa to be given to prospective foreign national employees who can demonstrate some special skill that the employer cannot easily procure locally. It's explicitly written into the governing legislation. In fact the law doesn't just stop at the qualifications. It also requires H1B recipients to be paid the prevailing market wage.
The problem with H1Bs is not the way the law is written. It's actually a pretty well designed piece of legislation that addresses all of the concerns we have with it today.
The problem with H1Bs is purely enforcement. The State Department does not have the manpower to monitor wages effectively, or to individually vet the qualifications of each applicant. That's why they hand out the H1B visas through a lottery, which is brutally gamed by a handful of IT outsourcing companies who flood the system with applications at every annual deadline. Frankly it's almost like a DDoS attack.
Ironically, the current administration that endlessly complains about H1Bs is also the same administration who has instituted a federal hiring freeze *and* is gutting the State Department budget. So the department that was already overwhelmed by the applications and couldn't evaluate them as the law intended is now being put in an even worse position. Consequently the H1B situation is not going to improve regardless of this new added requirements for "computer programmers".
