I was recently annoyed to find postgres indexes don't support skipping [1] you also can't have the nul character in a string (\u0000) [2]. Its great, but it has some strange WTF gaps in places. [1] https://wiki.postgres

Isn't this obvious when you work with a stochastic system that giving it tons of wrong moves is gonna increase the failure rate.

I've benchmarked R2 and S3 and S3 is well ahead in terms of latency especially on ListObject requests. I think R2 has come kind of concurrency limit as concurrent ListObject requests seem to to have increase failure rate when serving

there is a culture of type safety which is a very watered down machine checked proof that the thing entering a function has affordances X,Y and Z. Its not the end to end functional verification you are talking about but its not nothing eith

I think we already standardized with the file as the unit of document exchange. You can make a CRDT interface to that file if you want, but CRDT is should not be the authority. There are too many competing implementations and what is best i

Akka and Erlang both support distributed routing to their actors, but this is planetary scale and fully-managed out of the box, which is very cool.

It's the actor model essentially. You can have a DO proxy each user connection, then they forward messages to the multipler document. The user proxy deals with ordering and buffering their connection message state in the presence of di

GET and (sparse upserting) PATCH is all you need for a multiplayer API. Arguably GET is spurious as you could do an empty PATCH to do a read but you generally want a cache infront of GET that exploits etags
