> New nullable columns are kryptonite to large Corrosion tables: cr-sqlite needs to backfill values for every row in the table

Is this a typo? Why does it backfill values for a nullable column?

andrewaylett•38m ago
I assume it would backfill values for any column, as a side-effect of propagating values for any column. But nullable columns are the only type you can add to a table that already contains rows, and mean that every row immediately has an update that needs to be sent.

I guess all designers at fly were replaced by ai because this article is using gray bold font for the whole text. I remember these guys had good blog some time ago

It's totally unreadable.
dewey•1h ago
Not sure if that was changed since then, but it's not bold for me and also readable. Maybe browser rendering?

Also not bold for me (Safari). Variable font rendering issue?

Please try the article mode in your web browser. Firefox has a pretty good one but I understand all major browsers have this now.

in case people don't read all the way to the end, the important takeaway is "you simply can't afford to do instant global state distribution" - you can formal method and Rust and test and watchdog yourself as much as you want, but you simply have to stop doing that or the unknown unknowns will just keep taking you down.
