How are folks doing CI on tangled?

Now I want to see benchmarks

Notably missing both Go and Rust

Why does clean room even matter given SQLite is in the public domain?

Still, I think it’s the right default to start with serializable. Then when you have performance issues you can think long and hard about whether relaxed isolation levels will work…

About time for the 6th Edition, eh? What would folks include in it? - Vector databases and hybrid search? - Object storage for all the things? Lake houses. Parquet and beyond. - Co…

This is nice double entendre because tonic is a pleasant gRPC server library in rust! https://github.com/hyperium/tonic

It should be this way. Clients should have some protocol to communicate the schema they expect to the database probably with some versioning scheme. The database should be able to …

You’re right that it would run on a block chain, but that fact would primarily exist to power some marketing. Everybody would end up interacting with it through a single centralize…

Thank you for writing this. This comes up constantly, and it'll be great to have another reference to cite. Another interesting thing about TPC-C is how the cross-warehouse content…

Folks, for the love of god, please please stop running TPC-C without the “keying time” and calling it “the industry-standard TPCC benchmark”. I understand there are practical reaso…

Some time ago I worked on cockroachdb and I was working on implementing planning for complex online schema changes. We really wanted a model that could convincingly handle and reas…

While that’s sort of true, there’s a lot of language specific things that go into making the UX of a debugger pleasant (think container abstractions, coroutines, vtables and interf…

How would you compare that to, say, go? I think the unit of distribution in go is a module, and the unit of compilation is a package. That being said, by using `internal` packages …

My biggest issue with rust after two years is just as you highlight: the mod/crate divide is bad! I want it to be easier to have more crates. The overhead of converting a module tr…

Literally all three of their required features which were not “standard” for swiss tables were requirements for the go implementation. See https://go.dev/blog/swisstable for a nice…

I’ll nitpick you back: if done correctly, consensus can have quite positive scaling consensus groups can have quite a positive impact on tail latency. As the membership size gets b…

Cockroach really doesn’t have limitations when it comes to queries. It is kinda magic in that regard. The single partition queries are the special case and are treated as rare. Coc…

Check out https://sqlsync.dev/

It’s all open source, sorry there was no link! https://github.com/ajwerner/voronoi

I made an implementation in clojurescript that animates the algorithm as it goes a while back: https://voronoi.ajwerner.net/#/app-diagrams It’s a very beautiful algorithm. However,…

I don’t think in NYC it’s fair to argue that there’s relatively little interest in making transit something people want to use. We can debate about whether the efforts are effectiv…

This feels like a crazy take. The stronger labor laws part I hear, but the anti-urbanism part I don’t. Do you have data or an ideology or something? Seems like you’ve been radicali…

Have you taken a peek at sqlsync? It's a cool take where you write your entire application logic to operate as transactions and queries over a sqlite database but you do it in wasm…
