It's not an extreme form of paranoia. I see it as a cost-analysis. It's cheaper to defend any copyright infringement criticism or lawsuit when using a pure clean room design.

We know that modified derived software can be sufficiently distinct from its base that the original copyright no longer applies. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design :

> In NEC Corp. v Intel Corp. (1990), NEC sought declaratory judgment against Intel's charges that NEC's engineers simply copied the microcode of the 8086 processor in their NEC V20 clone. A US judge ruled that while the early, internal revisions of NEC's microcode were indeed a copyright violation, the later one, which actually went into NEC's product, although derived from the former, were sufficiently different from the Intel microcode it could be considered free of copyright violations.

However, such a lawsuit will be much harder and therefore more expensive to deal with.

It's much cheaper to make the argument that none of the developers had access to the original source or reversed-engineered design, so any similarities must be result of functional constraints or general knowledge.

If you're a local US government, you probably have trouble keeping the lights on, let alone justifying CapEx on more buses.

King County in Seattle recently costed a transition to all-electric: the conclusion was that it would cost 41% more than sticking with the current hybrids, and would be equivalent to reducing service by 237,000 hours annually. https://seattletransitblog.com/2020/11/02/metros-fleet-all-e...
A small fraction of the cost of electricity is fuel cost. A much larger fraction is staffing, maintenance, and capital costs amortization. Distribution and maintenance fees are largely covered by per kWh price. The turbine I mentioned to do that generation costs $xx,xxx,xxx and is generally only cost effective to run as a peaker so that cost has to be amortized over fewer hours per day. Unlike natural gas hot water heaters etc, the turbines can't be built by the tens of thousands using cheap manufacturing techniques.

> Instead of actually providing a real technical support team

You sound like someone who has exactly zero dealings with AWS support. They set the bar in this industry. The first thing I do when I join a new employer is reach out to our Account Manager or Technical Account Manager at AWS to set up bi-weekly cadence meetings and ask for specific criticism from their Solutions Architects on whatever I'm thinking of implementing. They will ask my team for feedback on next features they're thinking to implement.

They have been the finest design partners I have ever encountered. I consider my last AM a friend.

I feel like it's kinda missing the point of the article to say that you "need" 500sqft for canning. That is a want, plain and simple. Wants can be expensive. Indulging wants like this is something that rich people can afford to do, and if you are rich that is good for you! But indulging this want is far from economically efficient, especially in a high cost of living real estate market. It's basically the exact opposite of the point of the article.

Every sentence in the article is dripping with skepticism, those quips just put it over the top unnecessarily. The tone puts attention on the author, when the story is profound enough and makes a better focal point.
IMO the case for all electric buses is a bit weakened by two things:

* for an electric hybrid bus with regenerative braking, the city bus is pretty much running on batteries most of the time anyways, because it never goes above 30MPH and there's so much stopping and starting to repower the batteries.

* in practice, BEB fleets need to be bigger than their diesel equivalent fleets because of the range anxiety. In particular, BEBs and their higher weight perform worse on elevation rises, where they are spending more energy to lug the heavier weight around, and in winter. Winter is interesting, because the way current bus heating works is that they take the waste heat from the ICE and dump that inside. Electrically heating a bus takes additional energy, and on top of that batteries perform worse in cold weather. The problem is severe enough that so far the most successful cold-weather BEBs maintain a fossil fuel system just to keep the bus warm.

> In this example you provided, if Foreign Keys are to be used by their defined name, why would we need to specify which table we're going to join here?

I see, you're right; we don't need to! Thanks for great improvement!
I don't think using "USING" is a wise choice though, as that's already a different way of joining. But I agree WITH isn't very nice either. How about "KEY"? I also think we should avoid reusing "." since that will is used to refer to columns, and the FK is not a column. I think we need a separate token, "->", or something else.

With your idea of leaving out the redundant referenced table alias, and using "KEY" instead of "WITH", the FROM clause becomes:

FROM permission p
LEFT JOIN role r KEY p->permission_role_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN team_role tr KEY tr->team_role_role_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN team t KEY tr->team_role_team_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN user_role ur KEY ur->user_role_role_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN "user" u KEY ur->user_role_user_id_fkey
WHERE p.id = 1;

To comment on your other two comments:

> 1) Now when I'm writing queries I have to go look up the foreign key names. This isn't something that I'm often innately familiar with (unless there's a reliable naming convention; spoiler: there never seems to be). Contrasted with field names, I could easily construct half a dozen quick queries against any DB I regularly use by knowing which tables or fields are there.

Very valid point. For this idea to be convenient, one would also need to make the default name for newly created foreign keys user-definable. Simply using the referenced table name as the name would work fine in PostgreSQL, where constraint names are only required to be unique per table, and not per namespace as the SQL standard dictates (for really no good reason). E.g. "permission_role_id_fkey" would simply be named "role".

But then one might ask: What happens if you create two foreign keys referencing the same table? In PostgreSQL, a number starting at 1 is automatically appended to the name, e.g. if creating another FK on "permissions" referencing "rule", it would be named "permission_role_id_fkey1".

> 2) The example you provide are actually less clear than explicitly stating the joined fields. If I have to come in and troubleshoot something down the line, I then have to spend additional time after viewing the query going in search of what the heck fields are involved in team_role_role_id_fkey, rather than just seeing that it's role.id and team_role.role_id.

I think this complaint is related to the first one you made. If you do have a simple naming convention, you will see what table is referenced. The actual values of the foreign key column(s) is not very interesting, since they are just referring some foreign row's primary/unique column(s). Why would you ever need to "troubleshoot" the actual values? Since having FKs on such column(s), they will always be correct when set, so if something is to be troubleshooted it ought to be some actual data in the referenced table, which you could manually join-in and inspect, also by manually joining using the FKs, to avoid having to key in the values of the FK column(s).

I don't buy this story as written.

Chris Dixon is dishonestly pumping Web3 as if it exists today. He has a huge financial incentive to do so because of A16Z putting $2B into a crypto mandated fund.

"Web3" as it is being proposed now is essentially an unregistered securities offering. The SEC is asleep at the wheel and A16Z is taking full advantage of it, as is their capitalistic right. This is the 2017 ICO craze rebranded.

> * Extensive refactoring tools. Not just things like "extract method", but also linter-driven ones like removing an unused function argument, or fixing an identifier's spelling (updates all uses).

The latter is "Rename symbol", which VSCode supports for anything it has language support for, and which works across files where the language support includes that. The former is often suggested as a quick fix with VSCodes linter support. Neither is foreign to VSCode.

> Git support is tons better, including things like "Compare with..." allowing instant diffing against a branch or revision.

This is very much available for VSCode. Yes, it takes a plugin (GitLens and GitGraph are the two I use, the latter for history/branch visualizations and conducting operations from the visualization.)

> Diff view is much nicer. It's also "live", like many things in IDEA; if you compare two files, the diff view updates when the files are change.

Again, there's a plugin for that. (The one I use is just called "Diff", but the array of different Diff plugins for different preferences available for VSCode is...enormous.)

> GitHub integration where you can, for example, create, view, comment on, etc. pull requests within the IDE.

VSCode has this. I mean, sure, like almost everything else it is via plugins (the official GitHub Repositories plugin and the official GitHub Pull Requests and Issues plugin.)

> I don't like that it's not open source. But IDEA is a classic case of commercial software being vastly more mature than open source counterparts.

From your description, it seems mostly to be a classic case of an IDE having a better OOB experience for the set of functions it is intended to support than an extensible editor before considering plugins for the latter, rather than being "vastly more mature".

Please don't attribute superhuman skills to any particular team member.

For modern products valuable enough to be worth building deliberately, nobody knows what the market wants.

Also, the use of the word "effective" in the quoted sentence is a setup for a No True Scotsman.
LibreOffice also runs a Stack Exchange clone, actually a fork of the older open-source SE codebase I believe. It's horrible - no real experts frequent the forums. But the lack of some SE features highlight them. For one, I don't ever see if anyone replied to my questions or left a comment on my answers. I do get an email, but that is easily missed and destroys the ability to have a conversation. Because I'm always checking some site on the SE network for other things, I always see notifications there.

Another missing SE feature is the Hot Network Questions. I used to hate that feature, it would distract me to no end. But now I see how it attracts people to new SE sites that they might have expertise in but otherwise not know about. I do see the need that it fill now.

Parallels forums does not approve comments when suggesting alternate software
Screenshot https://ibb.co/3sfWRfQ

They have a product manager blog showing AOE 2: DE working just fine on M1 Mac's running Windows for ARM (https://www.parallels.com/blogs/mac-age-of-empires/). However, multiplayer mode is not mentioned.

When I started the thread about multiplayer mode not working, and later suggested an alternate product, my response never gets approved to be posted. This has happened twice. And there's still no response from Parallels on actually fixing multiplayer. Or making a note that MP does not work on their blog.

Instead, they just don't approve comments that link to other software vendors. Or, I guess the "I let my Parallels subscription lapse" was too tongue in cheek. This is dirty behavior either way.
To truly think that the rule of law in America and China are even remotely close, and that the average citizen is equally treated by the law in each country, is so absurd that you must be living in some sort of politics bubble, or simply have zero idea of how these country’s legal and political systems operate.
The 4004 had to go fast enough to run a calculator at 0.75 MHz though. A modern chip typically runs at 100 MHz and can run at 4 GHz. If you could fab it in indium phosphide (which wouldn't be CMOS!) you could maybe run it at 400 GHz and use an optical fiber as a delay-line memory, 1 bit per millimeter. This sort of thing might enable you to use less transistors than a 4004.

I got down about that low with a bit-serial design whose only arithmetic instruction was a subtract, but I haven't simulated it at even the RTL level, just done a gate-level design on paper and a couple of software instruction-level sims.
