@marcbrooker This is really interesting blog post. On the point of relevance of CAP to systems such as IoT, monitoring devices, mobile apps etc. which are generally referred to as cyber-physical systems (CPSs), Edward Lee and colleagues have adapted & extended CAP to derive a new framework specifically for that. Quantifying C, A and latency (L), as well as developing an algebraic relationship between them to produce the CAL theorem. Their work appeared last year at ACM TECS: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3609119
Consistency vs. Availability in Distributed Cyber-Physical Systems | ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems
In distributed applications, Brewer’s CAP theorem tells us that when networks become partitioned (P), one must give up either consistency (C) or availability (A). Consistency is agreement on the values of shared variables; availability is the ability to ...
Marc BrookerLet's assign CAP to the cabinet of curiosities: https://brooker.co.za/blog/2024/07/25/cap-again.html
If you’re an experienced distributed systems person teaching new folks about trade-offs in your space, please don’t start with CAP. Tons of more interesting, more instructive, trade-offs.

David AndersenThat was fun - I hadn't done this before. Used a bunch of database views to refactor and optimize my solar power db. It was getting a little slow to aggregate per-second production data across months, so I switched the query to a view, and then slowly replaced the view with a union of the today data and a manually materialized view of the historical data.
Worked really well and now my rust code doesn't contain any complex SQL.
Don't tell @andy_pavlo but #databases are pretty cool sometimes.
Can you tell from their expressions that tonight’s dinner involved albacore and bonito flakes?

Today I ran Wireshark over X forwarding over ssh over ssh over a VPN over a VPN over ssh over a VPN...
...so that I could look at some packets that contained a UDP/IP packet inside an Ethernet packet inside a VXLAN header inside a UDP/IP packet inside an Ethernet packet inside an ERSPAN packet inside an Ethernet packet.
I understand that every problem in computer science can be solved with another level of abstraction...
