The happens-before relation that they use in this article (and in the whole field) does take this into account. It’s only defined in terms of local events (i.e on the same node) and the time when messages are sent/received between no

But neither does a logical clock. The implication only goes one way: if A happens before B, then the logical clock of A has to be smaller than that of B. The other way does not have to hold.

I’m not quite sure what point you’re making here. Spanner ensures causality by waiting until TrueTime tells you that the commit time is considered “in the past” for all replicas. There’s nothing swept under the rug here and this is a theore

I don't think there's a catchy one-liner which can explain why Spanner "needs" real time instead of Lamport clock. Spanner is a system with some very concrete characteristics (Paxos consensus, strongly consistent pessimi

Do you have a source for this? From my understanding these bounds are actively being used during the commit protocol: The leader will wait (i.e. just run sleep()) for a period of time. This period is determined from the bounds and ensures t

As someone who's working on code base at ~100k LoC I'd say that generics would be great to have: - We have some utilities (e.g. caching layer) which now either needs to use interface{} (and lose all type safety) or hard-code the t

Interesting. I have the opposite experience, the more I use them the more clunky they feel. * If there’s only useState, then everything is mostly fine. All is good. * To avoid unnecessary re-rendering you’ll have to move callbacks into useC

This! Benchmarks that fully sustains the throughput are rarely useful. If you’re running at that capacity your service is melting. Latency histogram for fixed throughout (e.g. 1k RPS, 10k RPS, 50k RPS) are far more useful. You want to know

It also means that accidentally adding a space somewhere (“$HOME/go” -> “$HOME /go”) can have catastrophic effect. I wouldn’t dare write a single “rm” if I’m not 100% sure the argument is being quoted.
