Yeah, that's fair. If I have to take LIRR, I'll generally use Atlantic and switch at Jamaica if needed -- anything to avoid Penn.

it takes longer to load a train with assigned seating -- that's why say, Amtrak might do it, but commuter rail trains, that at peak run minutes apart and want to minimize dwell-tim…

In case anyone is interested in even more of the technical specifics, the original design RFC might be interesting too: https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/blob/master/docs/RF…

One of the challenges for us in implementing something like LISTEN/NOTIFY comes from our distributed nature: since a table is likely broken up across many nodes, you somehow need t…

Yes, change feeds (and triggers) are on the roadmap (though not yet in active development).

We're still working on integration with other monitoring systems, but the one we've tested the most and documented is prometheus: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/monitor-cockroa…

Whoops, sorry about that. If you're looking for more on how it works (rocksdb, raft, distributed transactions across multiple raft groups, etc), you might find the design doc inter…

[cockroachdb employee] Short answer: no. Long answer: at their closest earth and mars are about 54m km apart, at the furthest it's over 400, with an average of around 225m km, so t…
