You have to understand that Broadcom isn't actually Broadcom the chipmaker. It's a private equity firm that used be named Avago Technologies before it bought Broadcom. So squeezing until there's nothing left is the plan. h

MySQL has a very mature open source HA story with the flavors of group replication, as well as being able to replicate DDL. Not to mention Orchestrator and friends. As a matter of fact, EnterpriseDB (the largest contributor to Postgres) has

You can also add add GSIs (with their caveats) without any re-work.

Your second sentence is more on the right path (speaking for myself at least). It's about labeling and observing the literal physiological sensation that is occurring in your body and choosing how to react vs. identifying strongly with

I’d be curious to hear more detail about the FoundationDB data loss issue that you saw? Do you remember what version / what year that you saw it?

Elixir is in the process of adding a gradual type system right now FWIW.

One of the best articles I've seen on here this year! I didn't know about the existence of `pg_hint_plan`.

Same. I would pay 50 / month for an Elixir plugin that had a comparable amount of polish to RubyMine.

My argument against wrapping for backend services is that is: 1. I think that it is preferable to handle the error where it happened instead of at the top of the stack. For a backend service, there's really only three things you want t

I’m curious if you’re willing and able to share: Are you using FoundationDB as the data store for Antithesis?

Vector clocks give a partial ordering. FDB version stamps give a total ordering by having a single process issue them for the entire cluster. There's a good breakdown here: https://blog.the-pans.com/notes-on-the-foundat

Probably not too much to say that’s specific to FLAME. Closures are serializable and can be sent as messages to actors on the BEAM with a few caveats. From a quick look at the code, this looks the magic line: https://github.com&#

The difference is that Gates is an industrialist who does acts of philanthropy. MrBeast does acts of philanthropy to be an industrialist.

You’re not wrong, but there’s a big difference between donating money to feel good about yourself or even hope others like you more, and building a capital engine with a veneer of philanthropic paint.

Totalitarianism is much different because ultimately some human is making all the decisions on the allocation of capital. The uncomfortableness that the parent is describing isn’t with the power disparity, it’s with the fact that our world

The UX of the notification case could be reasonably solved by either having the notification being send as the last step, or sending a notification that they were removed with the reason if that’s not possible. What did the API of the meeti

I disagree, and here's why. There are basically two reasons a cancellation step would fail. 1. A misunderstanding of the business rules. In the flight example, you thought that were flights were cancellable, but actually the airline on

There's nothing to debug because a failure during a saga is a totally reasonable and expected thing to happen. Take the example in the article. 1. You book a flight. You successfully reserve a seat. 2. You book a car. You successfully

Nope, it's not a toy. It's a fork of Uber's workflow engine, Cadence. You don't need to explicitly interact with an event queue because it's a higher level abstraction that sits on a queue. In fact, that’s the big v

I would go so far as to guess that the entire reason the piece exists is to be a commentary on the arbitrariness of important art , and that the real art intended was creating a situation where someone who isn’t an insider gets to decide w

MySQL is still ahead operationally (no vacuum, group replication, gh-ost, optimizer hints, etc.). I would choose it unless one of the Postgres extensions is a killer fit for your project.

Just FYI if you didn’t already know this: Any transaction which is run at a transaction isolation level other than SERIALIZABLE will not be affected by SSI. If you want to enforce business rules through SSI, all transactions should be
