| jorangreef wrote:
| Nit! It's a bit more historically accurate to say that
| MultiPaxos/Raft are later variants of VSR since Brian Oki's
| VSR predated Paxos by a year ('88 vs '89) and Liskov and
| Cowling's revision of Brian's work in 2012 predated Raft by
| two years (the papers are remarkably similar, but Raft
| makes concessions for the sake of presentation).

| I know it was published first, we've talked about this
| before :)
|
| But, I'm not sure what was published first decide what's
| a variant of what. I would say that, given the breadth of
| research into variants of Paxos and the ways it can be
| modified, it is most meaningful today to say they're all
| variants of Paxos.
|
| VSR having had little to no research or industry
| application until recently has a pretty weak claim. It
| does not appear to have influenced either Paxos or Raft.
| Raft was influenced by Paxos, and even VSR revisited
| discusses it in relation to these protocols.

| We see things more in the light of Heidi Howard's recent
| Flexible Quorums and her comments that all these ideas can be
| mixed and matched.
|
| Further, our reasons for not picking Raft are different, and
| have more to do with "what makes Raft Raft", namely the
| concessions around view change and replacing message passing
| with RPC.
|
| We've spoken a bit on this if you'd like to dive deeper:

| There were some great talks. The chat was satisfying. I like
| Zulip and have some experience with it so it was easy to navigate
| for me. It does take some getting used to though; a tips or FAQ
| would probably help a lot of folks.
|
| The concept and branding are great.
|
| If another one ends up happening I'd do it again.

| Does anyone have links / suggestions on how to set this up?

| You can either do it through the Stripe dashboard by creating a
| Payment Link with a "Customer chooses what to pay" type or
| through the API (see https://docs.stripe.com/payment-
| links/api).
| yawnxyz wrote:
| the reason I didn't attend / pay this time btw was because last

| mostly work in product and design; this time it was about more
| low-level stuff which is out of my scope. It's still cool stuff!
| But just outside of my focus / realm

| Really glad this event exists. I didn't know about it ahead of
| time, so some amount of Marketing sounds sensible.
