Anywhere I can read more about issues with Badger?

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

Its issue trackers. There have been sad bugs going on years deep into the project. Maybe they’re all mopped up in 2022 but I wouldn’t count on it. Its design does well on a certain usage profile at the expense of mixed read/write or other workloads. Cockroach has more money and could throw better developers (more experienced) at the problem. Haven’t looked at Pebble though.

Out of curiosity, why write https://github.com/cockroachdb/pebble and not just use https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger?

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

Along with the other reasons, Badger is not that great. When you have the funding and presumably the developers they have, it makes sense to do something better.

Did you miss the title? It literally says SQL in the title.

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

Pebble is a key-value store, not an SQL database.

> the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

How does this not describe what’s happening? Could you not be obtuse, please, and either argue your point in more depth or say you’re wrong?

So you think, what, any forcible annexation of a country is genocide because it has fighting? That’s not the definition. They aren’t exterminating Ukrainians, defined ethnically or nationally.

Yes, it is. Russia wants to squash Ukraine out of existence. He’s going out of his way to get rid of the Ukrainian language and culture.

For him, Ukraine is a part of Russia, and its independence and own culture is a threat to Russia.

What is your argument that this isn’t genocidal, by definition?

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

By your own claims, and the definition of genocide.

RT propaganda is an organic part, a psyop, of the genocidal war in Ukraine. There is nothing about free speech in refusal to support genocidal war. If anything it is a duty of any normal person (and any company consisting of such people).

This isn’t a “genocidal” war.

Short notice? China knew the Ukraine war was coming before we did. They even asked Russia to hold off the start until after the Olympics. They weren’t caught surprised by any of this.

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

They’d have to have built up troops while the Olympics were being held.

I honestly wondered about this at the time. My biggest surprise is that China didn’t try to attack Taiwan while the world’s attention was divided.

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

Crossing open water is tricky to do on short notice; they were hosting the Olympics; they have all the time in the world; the U.S. isn’t actively fighting in any war; they have domestic financial problems to focus on and a lot of room for domestic growth, which would improve their position even more; their biggest risk is regime collapse, and invading Taiwan worsens that risk.

This line of thought is so wrong on so many levels ...

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

This is just a fact. The police are better in wealthier municipalities because they can pay for better recruits. This includes higher crime big cities if they have a decent tax base.

Is it a given that if you drive in the US you are going to get stopped by the police at some point?

CheezeIt · 4 years ago

In my experience, no. I’ve only gotten pulled over when I was pretty much asking for it. When people say they get pulled over often, I usually find stuff out like they were doing +20 on a residential road. But this is in nicer parts of the country.
