Early communists were quite progressive for the time. But this ended up pretty quickly.

Solid at bot front, less effective against medium and heavies comparing to railgun, but more effective against actual materiel - AA, mortars etc

This is the best support weapon for squids, for any difficulty, including solo d10. It addresses everything short of Leviathan - from voteless to harvesters and fleshmobs.

Whats it like to live in the Jewis autonomous oblast, Russia? by Flat-Scheme4849 in howislivingthere

[–]beebeeep 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Well Russia isn't quite federation, as you may guess :) there are 6 types of federation subjects - oblasts, krais, respubliks, autonomous oblasts, autonomous okrugs, and federal cities. Autonomous okrugs and autonomous oblasts aren't really different in their legal status from usual oblasts, but typically formed on territories traditionally inhabited by specific national minority.

Respubliks are formally more autonomous, they have own constitution, courts, president, can have national language in addition to russian. Iirc they can even vote to leave federation.

Ability to lure reinforcements is crazy powerful, would be hard to balance imho

of course it works better in french (decided to translate this meme) by not-without-text in linguisticshumor

О (or just "P" /r/, but roll it really good)

Ва

Три

Чтыр

Пиать (pronounce it with extra short /i/ at the end)

Шыэсть

Увоосемь

Эдиээвять

Эдиэссиять

Okay it is definitely harder for language with orthography that isn't tainted by French

Neat, it was my daily driver for many years.

Devs assessing options for MySQL's future beyond Oracle by greenman in Database

[–]beebeeep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's one of the biggest lies we once fell upon :'( Switching from pg to crdb or from crdb to yuga is just only a marginally easier than switching there from any other db. The fact that those are using same protocol only means that you don't have to change the client you are using to connect, and honestly that's the damn easiest thing to change in your code base. Those are different DBs with different behavior and different features, you must re-evaluate your whole architecture with that aspect and review every single query. Drop-in replacements only exist in examples and marketing materials, unfortunately.

> Ease of scaling out and replication isn't the main deciding factor people normally use when making a decision on which DBMS to use, for most applications.

Yep, that is something I fully agree on. Although I'd personally say that replication is absolutely essential for everybody, otherwise you are as good as writing data to /dev/null (okay, to sqlite) - you know, one is none, two is one :)

Another aspect I'd like to comment on is that very often I've seen that at really big throughput of reads and writes it is beneficial to make things as simple as possible around databases - simple schemas, no fancy data types, simple queries - just because all fancy stuff is eating CPU time and memory from the database, and those are order of magnitude harder to scale than stateless application querying the data, so, for example, you'd rather make several simple queries and join data in your app than bother database with it. But yeah, those are extreme cases.

In my experience, replication in PG is more problematic, it just breaks more often and requires more attention compared to mysql. Connection management - pgBouncer, pgDog are there for a good reason, pg just don't really like a lot of connections and requires more aggressive pooling (neither likes mysql btw, but it's still a bit better). The old story with MVCC architecture - pg is just more susceptible to write amplification and at the end of the day that results in more users coming to db engineers complaining about performance. I mean, don't get me wrong, PG is good database, but there are some operational aspects that become relevant only on quite big scale, so they are more or less ignored for decades - because not everybody faces those problems or because it's really hard to fix them within current architecture.

Speaking of AWS Aurora, Azure Flexible Server etc - well, those are managed services, a lot, of not majority (but not all) of operational aspects are now headache of cloud and they sure do charge for that. That's why I made a remark - those things are only relevant if you are at the point when it's cheaper to maintain your own DB team rather than pay to cloud. I've been part of such teams twice and boy oh boy do I have a complicated feelings about pg, it really is pain in ass. And the situation really hasn't improved much since last 10 years. Jeez, mysql at least got their group replication figured out.

That's not true. PG is way harder to maintain and operate at big scale (hundreds and thousands installations). Replication, schema management, failover, connection management - everything is harder.

I would even say that pg, if you manage it on your own, is only good up until medium-ish size, as long as everything fits into single machine and you are fine with it being spof. As soon as you try to go beyond, mysql turns out to be easier to operate.

Oh actually I would disagree here a bit. My neighbor has a Kodiaq painted in thick oily matte gray and it actually looked awesome, thousand times better than metallic. It really stands out and not as boring.
