I supervised a PhD who had come to Germany and through her indirectly experienced the immigration office.
When your residence permit runs out, and your application is still being processed, you automatically get a temporary permit for the time until your application is done.
But the temporary permit arrives only a few days before the deadline. Quite a few people don’t understand that part or don’t trust the process - and get into a real panic.
For the GmbH: It’s quite easy. Google for “Musterprotokoll”. That’s a one-page document with all the statutes a company needs and a fast-track process if you want to not deviate from it. Or you get a template from the IHK homepage and adjust it.
As the project is GPL’ed I guess they sell a commercial version. GPL is toxic for embedded commercial software. But it can be good marketing to sell the commercial version.
You don't need a commercial version, many projects get away with selling just a commercial license to the same version. As long as they have the rights to relicense this works fine.
In my company we used their stuff often. They have an optional commercial license for basically all their products. The price was very reasonable as well.
Many bare metal or RTOS systems consist of a handful of statically linked programs (one or two bootloaders and the main application), many companies would rather find a non-GPL library rather than open up the rest of the system's code. Sometimes a system contains proprietary code that may not be open sourced as well.
1) you may not have the right to open the rest of the code on the system
2) although you make money when you sell devices, it also makes cloning trivial
The "byte-code" coming from the query planner typically only has a handful of steps in a linear sequence. Joins, filters, and such. But the individual steps can be very costly.
So there is not much to gain from JITing the query plan execution only.
JITing begins to make more sense, when the individual query plan steps (join, filter, ...) themselves be specialized/recompiled/improved/merged by knowing the context of the query plan.
Sometimes, but not necessarily.
It depends on the competence of the DEI "figurehead".
Some communities had a figurehead installed by committee who provoked negative reactions due to bad decisions. Sometimes the leadership arose naturally or just turned out very competent.
And frequently, the trans or gay or whoever is called incompetent and DEI regardless of "naturally" they rose and how good decisions they make. Their decisions arw bad faith twisted for ideological reasons.
And no one even worry about someone not rising naturally when he is not demographic, regardless of level of nepotism and good old boys network that got him in.
There are so many generalities and so much hand-waving in your comment that it's really hard for me to understand what situations or which people you're referring to. It would be much improved with some specifics.
I hate to be the that OpenBSD guy, but "the people who do the work are the ones to decide how it's done". Yes, people are paid to maintain OpenZFS, but so far nobody is ready to pay for (or volunteer to) meet your bar.
Side note: OpenZFS already has an extensive test suite. Merely hitting a code branch wouldn't have caught this one.

I did it - no problemo.
