Multi-value registers are CRDTs for sure. Conflict-free doesn't mean that values can't have concurrent histories (or, as you say, "multiple versions") -- it means that the merge operation always succeeds.

CRDT literally means Conflict-free Replicated Data Type. Expecting CRDTs to be conflict-free isn't purism, it's simple validation. Git is, inarguably, not a CRDT.

It's very clear that the reason these kinds of proposals haven't been accepted has nothing to do with the core team not believing they're important enough, but instead because of the impact that they have on the rest of the l

The linked URL (title: Linearizability: A correctness condition...) references casual consistency. The papers it links go into more detail on that topic and also explicitly reference MongoDB.

by kiitos 2y ago
This article, and several of the papers it cites, claim that (in the context of distributed systems) the property of "causal consistency" is an umbrella term without a precise definition. Which is simply false: causal consistency

Fundamentally broken model of versioning, but I guess nobody really cares.

not sure what you mean by "enshittification" are you describing the process of a company achieving commercial success?

Wireguard by itself is good, but it isn't nice. Tailscale is nice because it builds on top of Wireguard (which is good) and adds UX stuff (which makes it nice). Nice requires humane UX.

I have no idea how you came to this conclusion. It's incoherent.

No, it isn't. And it's not the "democrat party" -- your colors are showing.

Maybe I'm not communicating clearly. The model is about the game theoretics of the electoral system, it has nothing to do with the preferences of any individual voter.

Abstaining does not demonstrate what you think it does in the electoral system we have in place in the US.
529.
by kiitos 2y ago
Voting is absolutely an obligation for any democratic society. Abstaining provides no kind of signal or message to the body politic.

Biden didn't pick Harris to win the black vote. This belief rests on a bed of assumptions that are fundamentally right-wing talking points.

FPTP systematically prevents third-party candidates from becoming viable. Literally, unless FPTP changes, voting for anyone other than D or R is factually a wasted vote.
532.
by kiitos 2y ago
There's nothing to disagree with, here. FPTP has proven equilibrium states, and proven effective voting strategies.

The US has a first-past-the-post electoral system, and in that particular system, the way the game theory plays out is that it always stabilizes to a two-party situation, and, very literally, your responsibility as a voter is in fact to vot

It is a pretty uncontroversial and commonly understood fact that the US Democratic party is center-right in the context of world politics.
