Misc Dist-Links Edition June 17Th

Making Databases Work: the Pragmatic Wisdom of Michael Stonebraker, Dec 2018. This is available equally a gratuitous download at Research, writing, in addition to career advice and Learning nigh distributed systems: where to start?

Podcast suggestion: Weird cite aside, this is a prissy podcast. Also the kickoff fourth dimension I walked inwards to the distributed systems shape at The Ohio State University, I knew this is what I should endure getting my PhD on. Well, at least, I bring this going for me.

Pet peeve: I regard a rattling technical postal service or YouTube video on an elegant Paxos variant, endure it of Fast Paxos family, Flexible Paxos family, multi-leader Paxos family, or opportunistic/any-leader Paxos family, in addition to thus the kickoff comment nether the postal service or video is: "How does this compare amongst Raft?". Another version of this is for whatever technical distributed systems service: "Wasn't this done inwards 1980s?"
