Even the most complex distributed systems can be understood with the context windows we have. Short of 1M+ loc, and even then you could use documentation to get a more succinct view of the whole thing.
The price of the carried inventory is still significant; the scale they mention reaching towards is thousands per day. That's not including the backlog of components they would have onsite to ensure production uptime.
My point is that we really don't know what "plausible" is anymore with these storms. That much is clear in the data. It seems silly to be so close to a flood zone with your very expensive DUV/EUV machines. There are probably other places they could have placed this facility.
Helene survivor here. What's wild to me is that, regardless of the small scale of this facility, it's only a few hundred meters from a 1% flood zone: https://msc.fema.gov/portal/search
The address I found for the facility is 9101 Windmill Park Lane Hudson, TX 77064
This seems ill advised given recent events like Hurricane Harvey
How would this product compare to a PostgREST based approach (this is the cool tech behind the original supabase) with load balancing at the HTTP level?
True, and they do indeed offer an additional layer of protection (but with some nontrivial costs). All (non-business killing) avenues should be used in pursuit of defense in depth when it comes to sandboxing. You could even throw a flatpak or firejail in, but that starts to degrade performance in noticeable ways (though I've found it's nice to strive for this in your CI).
Nowadays, it's fairly simple to ask for a unit file and accompanying bash script/tests for correctness. I think the barrier in that sense has practically vanished.
I've found it interesting that systemd and Linux user permissions/groups never come into the sandboxing discussions. They're both quite robust, offer a good deal of customization in concert,and by their nature, are fairly low cost.
Make sure you install it via FDroid. Also grab Termux:API to be able to write little apps with bash scripts. Here's one I did which gives a notification based interface to Pandora: https://github.com/ijustlovemath/pbr
And if you want a supabase-like functionality, I'm a huge fan of PostgREST (which is actually how supabase works/worked under the hood). Make a view for your application and boom, you have a GET only REST API. Add a plpgsql function, and now you can POST. It uses JWT for auth, but usually I have application on the same VLAN as DB so it's not as rife for abuse.
Is this the same NIOS that runs on FPGA? We wrote some code for it during digital design in university, and even an a.out was terribly slow, can't imagine running a full kernel. Though that could have been the fault of the hardware or IP we were using.
Medical device developer here: this is precisely the kind of work we need in highly regulated industries. We use an internal version of something with a similar API to manage our critical threads/processes. Keep it up!
Not to mention one of my favorite tools for adding a postgres db to your backend service: PostgREST. Insanely powerful DB introspection and automatic REST endpoint. Pretty good performance too!
Usually there's a separate document that has the requirements, and from that document you have a "software detailed design" which has the specifications for how to build the software such that it upholds the requirements. Subtle but important difference.
Set up a node! Bare boards that work with the app are like $50 and take a few clicks to flash and setup. The basic antenna with no amp makes contacts up to 50mi away if the conditions are right. I have one in a window and one in a backpack at all times.
I would think there's some amount you could capture inductively or magnetically, but perhaps it's too small to be useful. Still, feels like fundamental enough science to look into.
I could envision significant energy production for this technology near glaciers or ice sheets with lots of melt activity. Admittedly not really a market, but worth exploring for future applications (eg on icy moons)
the open network aspect is extremely cool, but it's hard to take seriously considering how difficult it seems to be to set up an alternate host. I do love the idea that you can just build an entirely new UX and bring the social graph for free!
