I installed the extension and it's incredibly easy to use. I tried it on a personal site, google.com, etc and it's interesting to see the various performance metrics for each site. I'd be curious to see what the highest PWA (

Educational back-and-forth, although unnecessarily biting. TL;DR - Aphyr thinks Damien Katz never read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_%28computer_science%...

Fair point. For RethinkDB, I think there's a good business case for getting it tested sooner than later (on both sides). For aphyr who's leaving Stripe, I think it would be reasonable for RethinkDB to compensate him for an unbiase

I'd be very interested to see RethinkDB analyzed, particularly with the 2.1 release promising high availability through Raft. RethinkDB and Aphyr have talked about doing Jepsen tests for it, but I'm not sure where that's land

Ex-deloitte employee here. I left before this change in performance review took place, but here's some thoughts & context based on my experience: - People may be concerned that relying on four questions may be too narrow, but at th
