For reference those two pages are both about NDB cluster. The two "options" I was referring to are MySQL group replication and the Galera replication plugin for MySQL. Both provide synchronous replication, so the write either succ

This is a weird take to me. VMWare Fusion very much feels like a cheap one-time port of VMWare Workstation to macOS. On a modern macOS it stands out very clearly with numerous elements that are reminiscent of the Aqua days: icon styles, the

I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me? I generally agree with your points, but my specific reply was dismissing the idea that Certificate Transparency is a good use of Blockchain..

by stephenr 1y ago
My understanding is that CT uses Merkle trees, which can also be used in a Blockchain, but that seems to be where the association dies. Just because two things use the same underlying data type doesn't mean one is a use of the other.

It is slowly improving (albeit with some egregious bugs, like losing EFI data on export) but TBH even their x86 product pales in comparison to Parallels or VMWare Fusion, in terms of machine performance.
