I agree, history always repeats itself. But perhaps the timing is different, it could be 20 years, 10 years, or 50 years who knows

That’s kinda strange, I was taught in school that tomato was a fruit so that’s what I always went with. As to why, I honestly have no idea and wouldn’t be able to argue

Don’t give up

This is just stupid. The point is having options. It’s not like having a 3.5mm jack stopped you from having wireless buds. What do you mean “prefer wired over wireless” when everyone had the choice of both since fucking forever

For a distributed database there is also fragmentation/sharing though. In this case calling the nodes replicas is not accurate. I guess you would call these “shard” or “dsta” nodes.

You are right about the “slaves” not behaving, in fact they jump on the chance to become the “master” themselves once the current “master” goes down. Then there is the split-brain problem.

It’s really more like a worker boss relationship, but I would hesitate to call database nodes “workers” because this one is usually used for a processing engine like Spark.

funnily enough I was able to watch olympic replays on one of my city’s (Hong Kong) official broadcast YouTube channels, specifically HOY TV, but all the commentary is in cantonese. But it’s also region locked (I just tested it by trying a US VPN) so you need a VPN to a Hong Kong server.
