Ugh...so after all that fanfare of how amazing fossil is, the author admits it just doesn't scale well. I was wondering how that "see it all" approach worked for a busy repo, and now I know, it just doesn't.
I love SQLite, and glad the primary author is happy working on it with fossil. I think if he published it's largest downfall first, it might gain more adoption to folks that could actually use that feature.
I feel like they are aware that not everything fits into the framework perfectly, but if your organization was trying to improve DevEx, this framework is a place to start.
However, picking stuff up perfectly, placing it, and jumping, just using sensors - which is what this is really illustrating - is not that fake to me.
I could imagine this robot being used by airlines to move baggage. A confined set of pre-programmed movements with the only variable being the luggage on a cart, and a human supervisor. It reduced the back-breaking task of moving luggage to a just a normal "stand there and press buttons" type of job. Easier to higher for, maintain that crew member, and less injuries to baggage handlers.
Stocks that pay dividends aren't ponzi schemes.
Bonds that use the money to pay for public infrastructure aren't ponzi schemes.
And on that note, private companies that use the funds from the sales of stock in order to actually provide a good or service, would also qualify as non-ponzi scheme.
Are there ponzi schemes on Wall St? Plenty. But most of it? No.
