If I’m not misunderstanding; Its not a complex project, and allows them bootstrap a recruitment campaign fast to take advantage of Artemis hype. I don’t understand why being vibe coded or reusing/recycling other designs matters?
Nice “well, actually”. I’m sure Lockheed were building this quad-redundant, radiation-hardened PowerPC that costs millions of dollars and communicates via Time-Triggered Ethernet anyway, whether NASA needed one or not.
Same. They’ve recently brought CRV charges into Ireland and almost every supermarket has a machine you can get your refund, so much more convenient. I’ve only noticed one of these near me in the Bay Area, and it’s almost always out of order or has queues of people waiting.
One of the big problems is Oracle decide what does/doesn’t go in. Understandable, but they provide no insight into the decision making process, why patches don’t get merged, or even if/when they take it.
They used to post worklogs for features they were working on which gave some insights, but they’ve stopped doing that now too. Imagine working on a new feature for months, submitting a patch only to find out oracle have went their own route, many people will just say what’s the point.
Last updated work log was in 2021: https://dev.mysql.com/worklog/
Edit: As an example, one of the optimizations called out in this repo was submitted in October 2023. “Thank you for the report and contribution.” and then radio silence ever since.
