To be fair, once you have self-healing clusters having a node disappear / crash is not a big deal for availability of the entire cluster. Also the blog post says nothing about integrity. It does not seem that integrity is affected.

Your thought experiment clearly implies energy is spent moving the wormhole. That would be the energy needed to spend to move your example rock.

You should use use '&&' instead of ';' so that you don't end up running another program should the compilation fail. Also highly recommended to use '_$$' instead of plain '_'.

This was discussed earlier on the same blog: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/living-without-atomic-clo... Short answer: the DB will check for drifts and correct small drifts automatically.

You're making a categorical error here. The entire discussion is not about storing programs but about entering them. If you want to use a database for storage then the UI you present to populate your database will become syntax. The id
