They are so entrenched on gerrit, it's so uniquely terrible. Should have bought Gitlab when there was the moment

Yes, but the schema def is still in protobuf

The first issue is that protobufs arent a standard. That inherently limits anything built on top of them to not be a standard either, and that limits their applicability

Also depending on the environment you run in, can code size bloat vs alternatives can matter

Give me something that isn't based on protobufs at wire / request level. CBOR with CDDL for a fully standards based approach that can work at any size of the stack

That's the whole point, source tars when properly versioned don't change. And you can get unchanged versions from any mirror in the world. sha256 of linux-2.6.10 release is 404e33da7c1bf271e0791cd771d065e19a2b1401ef8ebb481a60ce8ddc73e131, it wont change

That norm still exists, and it's offered by Github in form of Github Releases feature as well.

It's the downstream tooling ( i.e. all the builds and package managers ) that need to clean their act up.

This is a false choice. "Vendoring" is much more of a mess than this is, and second, there's no reason to rely on these on the fly tarballs for anything, when proper versioned software releases exist.

Github has pretty much a one-click ( or one API call ) workflow to create properly versioned and archived tarballs. Just because lots of people try to skirt proper version management doesn't mean you should commit the world into your repo

github had subversion support ??? :)

CHAdeMO / GB/T were harmonized into a new connector ( CHAdeMO 3.0 aka ChaoJi )

> What legal guarantee is there that Tesla won't reverse course in the future?

None. There would have to be a governing body set up for this to have any legs

Are you trying to imply that just calling something is a standard doesn't make it a standard ? Hmmmm

Yep but incentives haven't shifted, and the organizational inertia to fight in their fiefdoms is super strong

You could actually go to space several times for this cash

I've lost count how many misguided bids of taking x86 to low-power they made. Also the apparent unshakeable confidence that ARM will never become viable on server and desktop.
