I see that MVCC is still your preferred way of doing CC, and what academic research is mostly focused. I am wondering whether that’s an advantage for in-memory databases specifical…

Yeah, it’s better to use a “high-level” language designed for the architecture, such as this: https://github.com/dschmenk/PLASMA

Thanks for this tool! I found it when Apple started enforcing stricter requirements for certificates, and the commands I was using to create certificates at the time had become ina…

You may create a local account and sync via iCloud. But NNW also supports six online services, and self-hosted FreshRSS. The latter is probably what best answers your question. Sen…

I wonder whether people monitor resources consumed by processes… A couple of years ago I had installed Gitea, but it was constantly using between 5-10% CPU. I switched to Gogs, and…

I have configured local Unbound to use four different open DNS provideds, round-robin, the rationale being each one gets 1/4th of requests. On the other hand, I am sending requests…

It’s not that conflicts magically disappear if you use MVCC. In some cases, PostgreSQL has to rollback transactions whereas a 2PL-based system would schedule the same transactions …

One thing PostgreSQL would likely not be able to adapt to, at least without significant effort, is dropping MVCC in favor of more traditional locking protocols. While MVCC is fashi…

So, when someone comes to you and identifies herself by providing her SSN, name, date of birth, how do you know whether she corresponds to the record with id M or to the record wit…

Thank you for making HexFiend, that’s the top hex editor! One thing that I really really like about HexFiend is that scrolling is very fast, yet precise and smooth, no matter the s…

Ok, I've read everything more carefully: those are clearly hypothetical, entertaining reviews. Hints: (1) the link at the beginning; (2) no references to the sources :-)

I retract my assessment. I have found what appears to be the original paper ([0], from Computer 2005), and there is no indication that the reviews are fake. On the contrary, it app…

Codd (rightly) recognized two “fatal flaws” [0] in SQL: (1) permitting duplicate rows, and (2) the treatment of missing information (he also criticized the “inadequately defined ki…

I’d say that the reviews you have cited are satirical.

Seemingly little known fact, at least in this forum, is that Steve Jobs authored a fairly technical, albeit short, article in the '70s, entitled "Interfacing the Apple Computer" [0…

There is MetaType1 [0], which is MetaPost-based. [0] https://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaType1

I have developed SQLiteDecimal: http://chiselapp.com/user/lifepillar/repository/sqlite3decim... Still very rough, but usable.

WireGuard’s protocol was also formally verified by a third party [0]. That makes me more confident in using it than any social proof whatsoever :) [0] https://prosecco.gforge.inria…

I love the Hex Fiend hex editor [0]! Among the rest, it shows how scrolling should work in all macOS apps (fast, smooth, and precise). [0] https://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/
