I rarely care about such trivial things as being wrong. I do care about being intellectually honest. I haven’t once said that you or anyone else in this thread is wrong. If you really read everything Ive written, you’ll see I’ve always offe

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to agree and offer additional nuance. I agree with your nuance. That is the nuance that makes Git not a CRDT. I can also appreciate academics need a time and place to be academic about their defin

I don't believe commingling is customer visible. That said, as I understand it, Sellers can opt-out. FWIW, while "counterfeit", technically Amazon doesn't consider commingling to be Brand related abuse which is what I wo

> In terms of user experience, that’s a conflict — but from the CRDT’s perspective, it’s still a single consistent state upon which all peers eventually agree. So then Git uses a CRDT internally? Merge conflicts are user experience &quot

FWIW, never heard of it before but I like it. Meanwhile, a lot of people on these threads would say Automerge is not a CRDT. By definition Automerge.getConflicts means Automerge has conflicts and is not conflict-free. I on the other hand pr

In practice, Git Some CRDT purists would say "its not perfectly conflict free so its not a CRDT". Sure[0], but for the rest of us that are pragmatic about best effort conflict resolution Git is likely the most successful CRDT appl

Oh man, GC is amazingly nice but when it fails sure does it fail. It also typically fails when your biggest task is reducing overall resource spend, or getting that extra 9 after 3+ 9s of latency reduced. On multiple teams of FAANG engineer
