@samlambert what exactly makes it hard? Isn't it as simple as setting synchronous_commit=remote_apply or does planetscale have a custom strategy or are there other operational issues? Just asking since I find it both the planetscale&#x

I wonder why other providers don't use metal ssd sync replication technique that planetscale uses? Most of them just default to EBS. My interest in it peaked when I heard about NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe/TCP) and SPDK from Xata[1] an

I agree, I have a restaurant POS system and I think self-hosting would easily kill the product velocity, and if we screw up bad, even the company. However, I do get the point about cost-premium and more importantly vendor-risk that's p

Backups don't alleviate durability concerns. Read replicas(async) neither. I think only way it could work was if I implemented sync replication like planetscale, but that arduous.

wait, why is undoing by word better? I like backbone's approach!

But ephemeral and non-redundant. Am I correct in that using local disk on any VPS has durability concerns?

Yes natural languages are by nature ambiguous. Sometimes it's better to write specification in code rather than in a natural language(Jetbrains MPS for example).

Isn't it simple? Create events from past relational data and add them to the log?

> Any modern DB with a WAL (write ahead log) is an immutable event system, where the events are the DB primitives (insert, update, delete...). Agreed, I just wish apart from WAL they also had versioning as first class and their update ap

Not speaking about their case, but I think some cases a "versioned mutable data store" with a event log that lists updates/inserts makes more sense than an "immutable event log" one like kafka. Consider the update_o

Right, but then your downstream consumers have to be global and can't be partitioned based on account_id or some other partition key?

I mean a bank account sending money to another bank account. That would be 2 events(one withdraw and one deposit)? But if I'm downstream consumer consuming the event log and computing the state from that, if for some reasons I receives

Yes GM is lagging behind BYD not because it's leadership and managerial culture but because "chinese copy". And the solution is to punish consumers and enrich GM's totally failed leadership and irrational shareholders by

There are/were plenty of subsidies on EV cars in US/EU. Also chinese companies innovate better and have more efficient supply chains that western ones. The push to ban chinese automakers is stupid because it punishes customers at

That's serving UK users while knowing that they aren't legally allowed to.

Maybe I'm misremembering but i reckon something about shared memory vulnerabilities.

SharedWorker was implemented in Safari years after Chrome/Firefox I'm sure there are many such examples.

That's not my experience. Over christmas I re wrote a restaurant POS application from laravel to vue/wrangler using bolt + chatgpt. My exact steps: 1) I took my db schema and got chatGPT to convert it to typescript types and stub

That's not true on the face of it. BYD overtook VW in chinese market only recently in 2024[1]. In fact what seem to enable chinese auto companies to become world leader was the fact that they were exposed to global competition from VW&
