lol regarding smart smoke detectors

firstalert acquired luma, which had acquired birdi, which was kickstarter campaign smart smoke thing, which shipped nothing to most of kickstarter backers

some m&a execs clearly did not have good vaporware detector there!!

ok. json columns were put in eight years ago

think of big features added to oracles Mysql in past two years. Thats ten releases: eight most recent 8.0.xx, and 8.1 and 8.2.

what are they? are you using any? does it really not worry you at all?

youtube migrated away from vitess several years ago

Mysql product is circling drain under oracles direction anymore. New 8.x “innovation” releases lack any important features. even Mariadb is out executing oracle despite being broke!

Mysql community is in bad shape too. Official slack channel is avalanche of lazy newbie questions. Official linkedin group is endless spew of “learn sql cheat sheet”

Sad. It’s done for. community may still be “enormous” but that is bad thing when its communication channels overrun by sub-bootcamp-level devs

innodb supports cross-schema foreign keys, there’s no limitation to tables in a single database

can be terrible in mysql 8 though due to metadata locks now extending across foreign key boundaries. this means alter in one schema can block things in other schema if foreign key across databases

speaking of, am surprised that blog post author doesnt discuss the new mysql 8 metadata locking behavior, is new major problem with mysql foreign keys!

only oracle knows. and they don’t share answer yet, on this site or any other

only public news so far is extremely brief twitter mention of future switch to separate LTS releases from feature releases

big picture, hard to see what would motivate them to major re-invest in current mysql product model! amazon, planetscale, and co all profit off of oracle’s mysql server development efforts. and oracle does not get anything in return

assume this why more and more mysql dev efforts go to saas-only product like “mysql heatwave”!

you are spending time creating multi-year linked list of hn comments every single time a website you dislike and dont use goes down

i am “failing to address main issue of github’s downtime history”? indeed sure i am not addressing this, because it is not my care to address! why care when website i dont use and dont like goes down? not my problem!

do you see anyone else on entire hn creating redundant toplevel comments that then link to previous comment on same topic, spanning hundreds of comments across multiple years, all to post told-you-so to some random other commenters from 2-3 years ago? no one else do this, is deranged!

i pointed out no one in THIS THREAD said anything about “all in on github” and you replied linking to different thread from TWO YEARS AGO. deranged!

who else posts i-told-you-so’s hundreds of times for two years shouting to void? is madness!

>> it is more 'deranged' to believe that GitHub has gotten any more reliable after Microsoft acquired it.

ok? and who in THIS THREAD is saying anything remotely like that?

>> You can continue to use GitHub's services, but don't complain when something from GitHub goes down again

i dont use githubs services, where did i say i do?

i have not conplained about github going down

who are you responding to??!?? comments makes no sense, derangement!!!

so, because two people said they go all in on github on an hn thread TWO YEARS AGO , you feel the need to post public i-told-you-so hundreds of times ???!???

i am amazed @dang is ok with that, it seem completely deranged man, borderline harassment

have done both. meth is a strong drug but its experience is absolutely not “profound” at all

why do you keep making comments like this about meth in this thread?

better comparison, LSD and shrooms are very profound, but in a different way than E, think like introspective -vs- social

even better comparison is 2ct7, felt like a nice balanced combination of mdma and lsd, profound but not overwhelmingly

i strongly dislike planetscale and even i think this is not a useful or fair comparison .. sqlite works with local files, much simpler, no network latency, no HA

tracking access time (every read) is huge performance bottleneck. especially if reliably persisting this

same reason why filesystems are often mounted with noatime attribute !

article title is misleading! it is about planetscale only, not mysql in general. borderline click bait

also posted by a former github person. not sure if poster is author or works at planetscale but a lot of ex github engg are there
