> Is it impossible for someone to make many mistakes on his own ?
@mangeurdenuage I mean that when a very big lot of people fails, it is a sign of a systemic failure rather than them not being up to it. -

Though I guess this approach break one important part of a time travel · which is being able to see the consequences of one's actions on a longer span of time.
So a narrative like in Back to the Future cannot be represented with it. -

I think I have an ultimate recipe for solving time travel paradoxes in fiction while retaining most of the perks: what if there are many other universes, and the only difference they have with this one and each other is the initial moment in time? The lack of actual time travel automatically eliminates all the issues of time travel like loss of information or consistency issue… -

> It's just ideological subversion. Computer hacking should never be involved into politics other than it's own. I don't know if I have a strong opinion here. I do think though that professionalism and political stunts aren't very compatible. Like when a website blocks a whole range of IP addresses, because nation leader bad. But what if someone makes code with an intention to… -

> When trying to fix historical social ills, people will resort to silly triviality like eliminating "master" in situations where it does not imply slavery, because it is easier to rename things than to reshape problematic behaviors. @lnxw48a1 What's especially strange is that lately people are more sure in that this works than ever. Maybe they see annoyance of people they don… -

I haven't made a fuss about the master-slave topology, however now things have become weird. There's an ongoing effort to deprecated the master branch's name in Git, which I find to be a strange move as the master-slave topology doesn't even apply to git – all branches are independent by design. Maybe I'm employing an overly rational approach, but shouldn't our actions make … -

> > The idea of implementing SQL on top of a key-value store isn’t unique to CockroachDB. This is essentially the design of MySQL on InnoDB…
@clacke Though I guess what they mean is that InnoDB stores data on drive in a KV fashion. But I don't know what in the InnoDB physical stucture can be compared to a key-value store, so the comparison is strange to me. -

@clacke After the Oracle acquisition of InnoDB MySQL started a Falcon project to make a storage engine better than MyISAM independently from Oracle.
The project was scrubbed the moment Oracle acquired Sun. -

@clacke InnoDB has been bundled with MySQL ever since the Oracle acquisition of MySQL, since version 5.5.
And MariaDB has always used InnoDB by default (XtraDB until MariaDB 10.2 to be exact). -
