What makes you think your current society won't change in the future ?
Looking at the past, societies did changed a lot. Indeed, "Force" is often used : I'm forced by the law to not use slavery workforce, or to not eat an endangered species.
I'm peer-forced to consider people with disability in the code I produce, but not yet law-forced, although that is probably going to change soon.
You assume everyone has extra 200$ to pay. For someone living in a low wage country, it's hard to pay that much, even if you produce a multiple of that value in theory
The design with hot/cold storage makes it much more interesting than FDB for some use cases. FDB is an excellent DB with very strong operational guarantees, TigerBeetle seems to be specialized for financial data and to optimize perf/cost ratio.
Jesus dude,just say it was a mistake to call it free forever. How can you be a founder or whatever, have a product and not expect people to judge the words your website had, or the words you say? You should know it comes with the territory.
Doesn't matter how hard you guys worked to be profitable, it's about building trust and relationship with your audience.
On paper this looks smart, but when you hit a but that triggers under very specific conditions (weird bugs happen more often as you scale), you are gonna wish you had tracing for that.
The ideal setup is that you trace as much for some given time frame, if your stack supports compression and tiered storage it becomes cheap er
I think in practice it has to do with some libs (eg jdbc drivers) that would be relying on synchronized. If the performance with vthreads was much worse for some cases it would be a bit of failure

Those usually have company / community backing that gets it fixed. The irony is you patch the ORM and you patch the JDBC driver only to realize the database pooling library in-between is the 1 that's broken and the author refuses to fix it.
Switching `synchronized` for `ReentrantLock` is possible in principle, but it makes the code harder to read and opens the door to subtle concurrency bugs.
Library authors really don't want this kind of code churn for an issue that is not their fault, not their responsibility to solve, and that will get a bugfix before long that maybe even qualifies for a backport to LTS 21.
Did you know lots of people can ride a road bike under 100% human power at 27MPH+ (45kph?)? Parent comment doesn't align with commonly observed reality.
Iron Man participants regularly ride at an average speed of 24mph+ continuously for 112 miles in extremely harsh conditions (Hawaiian heat).
Also, over the course of many thousands of miles I've never observed any cyclist riding past vulnerable children at these speeds. What is the problem exactly? People going "fast" on a 50lb bicycle with nobody else around? How is this a threat?
Most people aren't out to get you, especially bicyclists.
If you want to direct energy towards something, please send it towards the inconsiderate cars vectoring a 3ton+ vehicle at 25-75MPH even when they see a person in the road ahead. It's sad when a human is struck by a vehicle.
*I usually don't respond to comments like this one but after being hit by a car while I was in the bike lane on Veterans Blvd in Redwood City, CA in 2018, who didn't bother stop (or even notice they'd hit and knocked me down?), it's a bit of a sore spot. The difference between a car and a weapon is what, exactly? Even an overpowered e-bike is nothing compared to any of the tens of thousands of cars who kill and maim cyclists and pedestrians in the U.S.A. annually.
Claiming that someone attains Arhat (or Arahant, if you are used to Theravada texts) with just a couple of meditation retreats is just wild. Because the 9 dhyana, or 9 samadhi, or 9 Juana corresponded to the level of wisdom of an Arhat. It corresponds to enlightenment in Theravada, and in Mahayana too - just not the "biggest" one.
So it's actually very harmful to do these claims; each dhyana (or jhana) level corresponds to a certain level of wisdom, and you are supposed to have less and less afflictions as you move up. The problem with meditation training is that is very common (and easy) to get sidetracked for 10 years thinking you have attainment but you are stuck. The Chinese style is to find a good teacher, an enlightened teacher, a so called Good Knowing Advisor who can certify your attainment or put you on the right track. Because otherwise it's just wishful thinking.
Best or luck to the author, but like the GP said, have some humility and find a competent, certified teacher. Making false claims, even out of ignorance will prevent you from accessing the proper instructions in the future.

To be fair, the Pali Canon is filled with episodes of followers spontaneously achieving arahantship after practicing only a brief time. I'm having trouble finding the sutta, but even the Buddha says with a single moment of appropriate practice, enlightenment is obtainable immediately.
Sure! But those were not ordinary people but special disciples, who had accumulated alot of blessings over a long time, thus were able to meet the Buddha and become enlightened with a couple of sentences from the Buddha. Still, the Buddha himself certified their enlightenment, they didn't go around claiming it themselves. Huge difference.
