    Curious to know if MySQL has any distinct advantages over Postgres at this point.

    How does this differ from RocksDB / MyRocks?
    • alexpadula 1 minute ago
      MyRocks have been archived for MySQL. MyRocks in MariaDB is using a very old version of RocksDB in which is rather buggy. TideSQL is similar to MyRocks but it goes a lot further with it's features, trying to offer parity with InnoDB. TideSQL's core is using TidesDB the library which is a write, and space optimized storage engine written in C from first principles, so from the ground up.

    Introducing the first major release of TideSQL for MySQL. A transactional storage engine built from first principles and on modern research that's write and space optimized, highly effective on reads, and offers parity with InnoDB. Do check it out, we would love your thoughts!

      Will it be available for MariaDB, too?

      My thoughts: please, please get someone to rewrite this page from LLM poetry to a real person's writing.

        As for me, I've copied and pasted the text into Claude, prompted: "Distill key insights" and got everything I needed to know.

        In fact... I read most of HN like this nowadays, including the comments.

          This is really not better. Well… not much better.

          I've spent my entire life reading, writing, condensing and explaining stuff, and I'm pretty good at it, but I find reading this stuff intensely tiring.

          But my underlying concern remains. Why are people who want to communicate important ideas leaving it to Claude — which writes like an obscurantist gnome wizard from a bad fantasy novel — to do so, only to lead us to use LLMs to corral it into a less gnomic form?

          People used to describe their own products in their own words.
