While I agree that government is an overlooked market, I would not start with the federal government. Massive bureaucracy aside, they are the largest, slowest and most difficult government entity to deal with. And there are literally tens of thousands of other government entities in the USA alone - schools, towns, counties, states, water and fire districts, libraries, etc.

This is true! Supabase db after all is "just" Postgres. In fact it's one of our product principles to adopt existing open source projects before writing our own.

You're also correct on the second bit, everything in the stack is MIT, apache2, postgres licensed so it would have been ok to run a closed fork if we'd have been that way inclined.
Which is a problem of their own making. If they use two sockets, which would be needed if all three programs were on different machines, then it would work exactly the same as the pipe example.

The problem is that they saw TCP sockets are two-way and then thought to optimize the TCP connection/state overhead by using it for double-duty without applying appropriate abstractions to transparently use a two-way channel as two one-way channels.
This makes me curious. What about Agile is it that you don’t like?

I can, in principle, take someone from a group of uncontacted peoples, put them into New York and let them figure out how to drive and they likely will be able to do it after not too much time. We are not even close to any technology that could figure out driving having never been built for it.

I did not think the other replies were very adequate so adding my thoughts.

There are a lot of chinese ICE manufacturers. Even before that, there were a number of Euro/American brands that were manufacturering in China for the domestic market. In the beginning these brands were not seen as high quality or reliable. You would pay a premium for a vehicle that was not manufactured domestically, regardless if it was a domestic or foreign brand. Things have changes significantly over the last 10 years. Quality has greatly improved and there is a significant sense of national pride for these brands, which I think only helps if further the desire for these brands to build better products.

The timing of quality improvements and the new global market demand for EV makes it a great time to expand. If they were to expand into the US market with an ICE platform, they would have had to fight the long uphill battle like Hyundai did to make a name for themselves.

Title needs "(2008)". And the very first para suggests that the author is not-so-competent at foretelling the future:

> IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed.
> Slow network: why is this a negative thing? If something is designed for a slow network then it should perform well in a fast network.

Designing for resource-constrained systems usually means you're making tradeoffs. If the resource constraint is removed, you're no longer getting the benefit of that tradeoff but are paying the costs.

For example, TCP was designed for slow and unreliable networks. When networks got faster, the design decisions that made sense for slow networks (e.g. 32 bit sequence numbers, 16 bit window sizes) became untenable, and they had to spend effort on retrofitting the protocol to work around these restrictions (TCP timestamps, window scaling).
RU is ~5% of PRC car exports. IIRC West pulling out of RU removed 500k imports from market over multiple years. PRC exported 2M more cars in 23 than 22.

> Domains are a rare and expensive resource,

Compared to what? IPv4 addresses are more rare and more expensive, for comparison.

Besides, public keys are great for uniqueness, and that they're relatively cheap, but that also means they're hard to remember (compared to domains) and they're easy for spammers to get.

Basically, neither domains nor keys solve Zooko's Triangle by themselves, and probably the ideal solution uses both and more to enable something that is decentralized, easy to remember and also secure.

Disagree on “host your own”. Use a business cloud instead of a consumer one if you’re worried about reliability of backups.

I’ll use Microsoft as an example since that’s what I’m familiar with:

- Users store personal files in OneDrive (stored on their device, automatically synchronized)

- Shared files in Sharepoint or Azure File Share

- Enable Azure backup of the file share, or use a cloud service that runs Veeam for you (iLand, etc) to backup your Office 365 environment (including Sharepoint and OneDrive)

The founder is the “IT person” usually, and they don’t need to worry about running backups. That’s a recipe for “hey I need this file restored” followed by “oops our backups haven’t run for 9 months” (seen this first hand, far too often).

I was always under the impression it was less about red tape and more about safety standards. Most foreign cars do not meet the safety standards required in the US/EU. My favorite example is in Mexico, Toyota had a model that was more or less the same style of an early 90s Toyota. You could still buy them new in ~2016, they had no upgrades to safety etc, you would never be able to sell them in the US.

"The GitHub.com repository is almost 13 GB on disk; simply cloning the repository takes 20 minutes."

Moving 13GB inside your own cloud should take seconds at most. The problem is the way Git works, it clones your entire repository into the container with your cloud environment, using a slow network protocol. With Diversion it takes a few seconds.
Barcodes use the last digit as a checksum. The checksum is some adding up the numbers and multiplying or something, then % 10 (only 0-9 possible values). As you can see with this math, the error checking has a 1/10 of a chance of coincidentally showing a correct checksum in cases where the data is incorrect. Either way, that last digit on barcodes is insignificant to the actual product's unique barcode ID.

Fun story: The barcode was ripped and the checksum # was frayed off of an item I was returning to Home Depot. I frantically tried to do the math quicker that the checker could manually look it up. But they won and I'll never forget it.

>But, if everything means something, nothing means anything.

Stated without argument, and, as far as I can see, simply false. I know this pattern from "if everything is bold, nothing is bold" (typography), where I'd agree with it (if all text is bold no single piece of text can stand out from the rest, which was originally the function of bolding text), I just don't see how it transposes to meaning. If 'meaning' is a perceived relation from 'A' to 'B', then adding another perceived relation from 'C' to 'D' does not change that in any way.

Perhaps the author's point is that when only a few things meant something, it was easier to fall into the illusion that this meaning was more than just a relation between things which are meaningless in isolation, that there was some wellspring of meaning that goes above and beyond mere relationships, into a different metaphysical plane of existence, and one could even be in communion with it in ones daily life ("actual fulfilment") by attending to a few common myths or stories or what-have-you. Alas, I would say this is just an illusion and while it might be legitimate to lament the loss of a comfortable state, you would just be fooling yourself by closing your eyes and going back to it at this point.

By the way, what is meant by "meaning" anyway? The phrase "X means Y" is clear enough, but then the things the author really seems to want to say hinge on a non-relational use of the word, e.g. "X is meaningful", "there is meaning", "signifiers of meaning", "meaning that is meaningful". I know there's a colloquial use of "meaningful" but AFAICT "X is meaningful" then means little more than "X makes me happy (and less afraid of death)". It's certainly not a unique fault of this article but it would be nice if someone were to define their key terms, for once.

> For five flights, the airline would have a problem swapping out the planes because there's likely only one plane on hand at that airport at that time.

This is disingenuous at best.

Assuming you're talking about flights where an aircraft operates an outbound flight from its base to airport XXX and then an inbound flight back "home" again.

If the airline decides to swap on outbound (base-XXX) flight, you'll get exactly that aircraft on the inbound (XXX-base) flight. It won't be completely last minute, because as soon as the outbound flight is swapped you know you'll be flying that aircraft on the inbound leg, but still, unless you change your flight to another, you'll be flying the swapped aircraft nevertheless. You just get a few more hours' notice.

FWIW, exactly this happened to my wife on Friday (Lufthansa transatlantic flight scheduled as A350, operated by an A340 due to disruption in Germany earlier last week due to freezing rain). For her that was the second late aircraft swap of 4 flights in the last 14 days.

> I often wondered why Git is so difficult to learn, compared to other tools.

Yes! This is something many people wonder -- other than those who love git :) I used to love Mercurial and I still mourn its mostly-loss. So I welcome a new DVCS system that is friendlier than git.

> Diversion’s code is managed on Diversion!

This is a good sign.

> can synchronize with existing Git repositories (each new commit in Diversion goes into Git, and vice versa)

Can you expand on what this means please? Does it simply mirror, or is it feature-for-feature compatible? Is it a backup capability?

> still using legacy tools like SVN and Perforce

I won't argue re SVN, but Perforce? It's used in the game industry primarily for its excellent handling of binaries / large binaries. How well does Diversion handle that kind of thing -- multigigabyte data sets, frequently changing?

The site says large files are fine, but that's too vague for games, IMO. Large, frequently changing, binary-not-text hard-to-diff files?

Edit: one final question: why cloud only? Why not software that can be locally hosted, or hosted by (other) service providers? What if I love Diversion and want to run a Diversion setup on my own Linux box in a cupboard?

> Delay slots only make sense when you don't have a branch predictor.

Agreed.

I'll go even further: lots of other RISC ideas only really matter when you don't have a branch predictor (and your transistor and design budgets are tiny).

Single-length instructions, for example. Even x86 instructions aren't much of a problem when you can afford to throw more pipeline stages at the problem -- which you can with a branch predictor.

I don't think anybody in the mid-80's understood how good branch predictors can be. Most people probably still didn't really understand it in the early 90's.

> "Another big reason is the lack of value types in languages like Java. Modern languages with a GC tend to have those, and where it makes sense to use them they help, a lot."

Might be interpreted as older languages with GC did not had value types, which is bluntly false, going back to 1970's.

My remark was to make clear this isn't something new and modern, rather a design mistake in languages like Java, that is now trying really hard to fix it, while others designed after it (like C#), thankfully didn't follow the same trap.

How modern a 2001 language (C#), using ideas from Mesa/Cedar (1985), is an exercise in the semantics of "modern".
