Good afternoon here in Hawaii. Good evening or good morning if you're watching from somewhere else. Thanks so much for joining us think tech Hawaii. And we're back. And we're about to enter come Monday, February 1 the year of the tiger. And we have with us Tina Patterson from Germantown, Maryland. Good morning. Rock on tour arbitrator mediator. Jacqueline of many trades. Rebecca Ratliff survived many years at very high levels in the insurance claims industry. Pretty much intact and stronger than ever. And that's testimony to the kind of strength that we all admire and emulate. And then Davis, what can we say now at Washington and Lee formally University of Toledo School of Law. In demand pretty much everywhere. We're an NFL football team and you were looking for a new head coach. At the top of pretty much anyone's list. Okay, so the year of the tiger known for strength, exercising evils and courage bravery. Do we have any tigers with us or any of you born in the year of the tiger. 1955. I don't think so. I don't think I was. I think there was a movie wasn't there a movie called the year of living dangerously which was about a year of the tiger and also didn't it wasn't the year that Mao died was the year of the tiger. Tiger would be 1950. Yeah, okay. Okay. 1974. 86. Those years have gotten past me either above or below. Okay, well, my, my wife is a tiger year person so. Aren't they supposed to be very unsettling years that you tiger years is what happens or. Years of change. The change can be depending on how the energies align. This is the year of the black water tiger and so it could be fresh start kind of year or it could be. As you say, threatening kinds of change. So, we'll have to see. What do you think's on the horizon for the year of the tiger. Well, I'll jump in by just saying that the Europeans and the American reaction to the Russians are doing on the border with Ukraine. I'm hopeful that we won't have a war that somehow the cool heads. I don't know if they're cool, the hot heads or whatever heads. They, you know, at the end of the day, people are not going to start shooting at each other because I think everyone understands whether anywhere in Europe and Russia. I think that, you know, we don't want to have a shooting wars is already a kind of a war going on for eight years there, but escalating to another level so maybe that's what I think will be a little bit of light if I could say it like that that this we will wind our way out or down our way from this kind of thing. Maybe I'm speaking to hopefully but I just think that no one in Europe would ever want to go back to war. None of it. Yeah, and one of the commentators made an interesting remark. He said the greatest risk of war with Russia and the Ukraine is Putin, because she said, Putin is like Trump. If he really feels it's going to play to his base, he may do it, even though it makes no political sense at all. Yeah, yeah.  He's a user of power, fair enough. But though are all these other players too, trust me, they are ruthless at the heads of these countries. I would include Biden in that, you know, I mean, it's when you're running this thing, you've got your national security folks and all that around it, there are options being played out.  So that whole, are we really going to do this in this way, you know, I just don't think that anyone has a stomach for that kind of, at least I hope that have a stomach for that kind of atrocious thing. So that's where in place I'd start the second thing is the, the briar resignation, right, or that this swirling this whole midterm, right, with, I think, and I was trying to remember whether Biden has promised to put a black woman on the Supreme Court and whether Johnson back in the mid 60s promise when he put there, you know, Thurgood Marshall was his nominee, whether he had made a promise beforehand I did hear that Reagan, when he ran had said he promised to put a woman on the Supreme Court as part of, this pitch so the, you know, this is kind of an interesting moment to watch how this all plays out with regards to both the cases that are before the Supreme Court, and how the briar succession gets done. And I think it's an interesting set of energies I don't know if they're good or bad or dark or like that or whatever she's but I think it's pretty exciting and I heard some names of some incredible black judges black women judges who are being considered. So, I don't know. Those are a couple things that struck me. And so, what does it tell us the nature and timing of priors resignation. And here's a guy who's been a very pragmatic consensus oriented. They're very influential in swinging Kennedy's vote with the other four, a number of times. An important negotiator. Yeah. Yeah, the three liberal justices. What is the timing of his resignation. Tell us about what he's seeing or what he might think is important. What does it tell you. I can jump it again. If, but I wanted to further Tina or Rebecca, if you have something that you wanted to say on this but one comment that I'd make is, I think that the cat got out of the bag a little early for him for what I'm reading. In other words, he made decision two weeks ago that this what he was going to do. But when he was going to make the announcement kind of got caught up in somebody getting a scoop here and there. So, you know, his timing may have been forced on him so to speak that that it ends up now as opposed to maybe when he wanted to. But be that as it may. The thing that is, is that the nomination process of someone to be his replacement is going to eat up this year. Right. And I think it'll be interesting to see how that plays out and what the whole dance of the politics sort of puts out in the open as to who people really are one more time.  You can watch how you know the forces of resistance and the forces of embracing such an idea will how they will play themselves out in in in this American kind of series of euphemisms that we watch in the way that people talk about things you know, I mean, who's going to be resistant. Who's going and how are they going to express their resistance to the person is you know is it going to be the classic sort of not enough experience right you know or, or, you know how did you decide this way I mean if they've seen some of this with other justice that happened who came out of public defender or other types of areas, you know, like, you know, are you a radical leftist so to speak because you are, you know, defense counsel, you know, I mean, it's like, come on, you know, it's just like, I'll be curious to watch both how the person is supported and how the person is defended I salute the person who puts their hat in the ring to do this, and that woman is going to be a very strong woman, but I will be really happy that she's on the court. For a couple different reasons but what personally one of the reasons I really be happy is that the only justice on the spring court, who quote unquote is a black person will not still be Clarence Thomas. Oh my goodness, yeah.  Yeah, great, great. I mean, for me to have another voice from the black community is who's a jurist was excellent and all that stuff.  And, you know, I've gotten tired of kind of the, the Thomas stick on certain things I mean you just had this decision that they had to do the National National Archives releasing documents for the regards to Trump, right, you'd had the district court and the appeals court that basically said release them. And it goes to the Supreme Court and it's an eight one decision. Now one of the things that maybe people don't realize is back when it was the tapes of Nixon. It was a nine oh decision to release the tapes and that was one of the reasons that precipitated his resignation that there was no leg to stand on at the Supreme Court. And so, you know, to be the one leg so to speak to for the somebody to think that is the way to that there was some merit to the Trump arguments you know, you know, I bothered me, and there was even a sort of a concurrence from the governor I read and I was like, you know, these guys are you know, I thought that the the elephants of this position which was basically under the standard that would have applied when the, if he was in office. This stuff is not covered. Boom. We're not going to get into the post presidency part of it, we're just going to say, understand that would have applied. If you've been a president. It's, he couldn't keep this stuff out, you know, and it's like, that's a great. You know, I mean it's a good result it's a one it could have been 63 or something else but still, it bothered me that Thomas you know marked out that place that I think is, it's kind of a like a little sort of list if I can say it in the American tradition the sort of less measures they are the king is with you know, even the king is without fault or something like that or some sovereign pixie dust is remains after you've left office in the presidency. You know, no, you know, that's not that's why we fought the revolutionary war to stop that kind of way of looking at things and there is a debate, I mean there's been back to the beginning about this sort of the sovereign immunity status of the, of the president right but, you know, I always thought it came down on the other side which is the president is an administrator that we put in place right.  Well in fairness we got to remember that he's got to go home to somebody who's a big fan of the oath keepers and the proud boys. Yes, you got to live with what you got to live, but the timing is important. Tina your thoughts. Then you come. I have a list of things that I was thinking about for this year the tiger and what I, I want to talk about the Supreme Court justice candidates and I agree with you wholeheartedly been. The timing was a surprise to prior when it was actually announced because when I heard yesterday was like, okay, you know, knowing this man's history. This would have been something thought out and count well calculated, given that we've got this backdrop of midterm elections and I don't want to sound like I've got the cloud of doom, hovering over me, but I think we're going to see some midterm elections that we don't want to see. People have been waiting since 2020, and they're seeing the midterm election as that opportunity, which means this justice candidate has to be vetted and in place. The most recent appointment. That was a fluke. I'll say that that was a fluke and we probably won't see that again where someone is literally vetted and pushed through within a week. Yeah, you know, well, it was, it was three days, you're right. I don't think we're going to see that one, you know, when I heard on the news, you know, Biden is Biden plans to appoint a black woman and the first person I thought of is the recently deceased Professor Lanny Guinear and the grief that she went through when she was, she hadn't even started the process and people were peeling back things from 2030 years ago you said this you must mean this. And I thought whoever these candidates are as you said they have got they are going to have to have armor on because we already have Senator saying whoever the candidate is, we're going to we're going to give them a hard time. And so where does the process become fair. Where does the process really allow for us to see the best of what that candidate can do, or what they may potentially do as a justice. I'm also concerned about as far as timing the midterm elections, and I'm going to go back a step as well because I think this is also tied in as well. This discussion, and I'll admit I'm a little bit of a foreign policy wonk so this discussion regarding Ukraine, Russia and the United States was before my time. And I'm, I'm talking about the concept of brinksmanship. We Biden whether you like him or don't like him, he is trying to exercise his version of brinksmanship, and it could either go smoothly, or it could blow up, and a lot of it is going to be contingent upon the NATO countries that are in the vicinity of Ukraine, but it also means the 1950s when a brinksmanship doesn't apply today, and jurisdictions are already being warned. If this moves forward and escalation begins be prepared for a cyber attack, whether that's social media, or that is your, your systems, whether that's a bank, whether that is your, your utilities that be prepared for cyber attack, we've seen it before. We've seen it. Again, people are always talking about well it's generally China. There's a number of actors. I see that played in as well, and how even with this process of selecting the next Supreme Court justice could be subject to misinformation and sending out stories disinformation to really get the public riled up about something that may not even happen. So, well, Chuck, you were talking about the energy and what it could and could not be the other part of the year the tiger that I remember is the opinionated and stubborn aspects are sometimes associated with this year, and we could literally see this one I listened to the representative from the United States to Russia as he delivered the President's message yesterday, and the story continued with President Biden has indicated that he is prepared to request personal sanctions against Putin. You know, again, rinksmanship but are you really prepared, and are you prepared for what that aftermath may be, because then I think you're absolutely right he will use by any means necessary and I don't mean it in the sense of Malcolm X, as he stated it but I mean he will use any course. We saw it in the 2016 election, we saw it to some extent in the 2020 election, but I think they're all woven in. The last thing I'll say and Rebecca I'll hand it to you after this. I'm hearing this and I know I brought it up last week. We saw the moving dynamics in our society, US society but also globally, but point to if we looked at the US from an outside lens, we are on the brink of civil war. And that civil war would be related to the outcome of the 2020 election people are still upset about that. COVID what that means it's dividing families it's dividing businesses, it's dividing jurisdictional regulations you have governance telling school jurisdictions, you don't have to follow your, your mask mandate kids show up, and then your local jurisdiction say no show up with the mask. And then you've got still have this ongoing discussion of regarding race.  If we were looking at another country we'd say you know they're, they're on the brink. They're on the brink of becoming a failed nation or they're on the brink of having, I'll say a coup d'etat, or an insurrection, but oops we had that in January 2021 didn't we. I'll stop there, Rebecca, it's yours. Exactly. So, I have to say, first of all that I'm really enjoying listening to the analysis coming from you then and from you Tina, I think this is all brilliant. And I think you've said it all very eloquently more eloquently than I could have. I have many of the same concerns, the state that America is in and I think I've stated before, I'm a very patriotic person we have family, a lot of family members who are in the military on my husband side. And I always, for me, hope in America Springs eternal. Despite our historic realities. But I hear you, I have concerns about the continued civil unrest escalating. I have concerns about how everything is getting politicized.  It's affecting sports it's affecting lifestyles in a way that politicizing everything just exacerbates. And, and so I have concerns about the America that I have, you know, hope for. Because we, we seem to be headed on a trajectory where there's just there's so much unrest. I don't know how that gets fixed and I mentioned that maybe in the show a couple of weeks ago, even though I'm an optimist. I just don't know, you know what's going to happen to the American, you know, America the beautiful, because, you know, all of these different platforms and agendas. You don't have to repeat anything you said Tina or you been I think that you're spot on. They're just so many factors now that aren't even the point has become pointless. Yeah, yeah, and so it's, you know, we're really struggling as a nation, and what we do here affects what goes on all over the world and so I do I have so many of the same I have the same concerns. So we've got a power group with incredible media influence and public control of the narrative that seems to believe that the divisive disruptive obstructive things that you're talking about that are painful for the everyday lives of all of us. That stuff works for them because they can blame it on the other side. It's the old he touched it last thing. How might some kind of understanding energy resistance to that minority authoritarian divisiveness grow from the grassroots level. Because it's not going to come from leadership. No. So, the, I think a big part of the way the, the particular populist movements we see now is doing what I think the psychologist call projection right you know, a casting onto the other person what in fact you were doing right you know. And unfortunately that mind game is a very difficult game to think in terms of that whenever somebody says something you know, and so what would be great was to have leaders who could deconstruct that in a way that people realize the, you know, the, the the absurdity of certain things like, I did think that by made a speech at one point about the election where he said now think about it folks. Every senator and house of representatives election was fine. But somehow the president on the same ballot was supposed to have been fake, you know, I mean, and I thought that's a nice little phrase that to bring it on whether you believe it or not, you know, in terms of believing all the stuff about the big live. I thought that was a really clear way of making people say, hey, this doesn't make sense. You know, right. Where's the logic. Yeah, you know, I mean if you want and you remember yourself voting and putting it up and you voted for XYZ and a BD and, and then magically, the part that's the president was weird and everything else was okay. You know, it's like, I thought that was really good to me you know it's like.  But in terms of sort of breaking through that effort of projection, just like I think when Biden did that little sort of hesitancy about, or he said that the incursion the Russians might do a little incursion into Ukraine and all these people freaked out. I heard the Trump said, oh, Biden has given Putin the green light. I said no, it's Trump giving Putin the green light by that projection. You know, sort of, like, you see all these people mouthing the kind of Russian vision of things on places like Fox News and all that you know it's like, people don't you see, you know, or being able to break through that and and and and express it in clear ways. I don't know who can do it but saw a little spark of it with that Biden comment at that point other guys Cliburn Cliburn's good at that stuff at breaking through on things so maybe it's we need to have more Cliburn, you know, I don't know. So one thing that we don't seem to have. And MLK day just less than two weeks ago have reminded us that it's the kind of charismatic leader that speaks to and for the people that might help galvanize that common sense recognition that hey wait a minute. You're saying that you guys one bunch of seats in the house and gains over here and over there and at the state, but the election of the president was stolen while you were doing all that galvanizing common sense and getting people to think logically for themselves is a challenge. So in our last minute. Hey, any magic sauces for how we get there, Tina. There's a group that I follow and I like their former heads of state and other leaders, they're called the elders. And what they what they purport is what you're talking about it's it's people working together. At the grassroots level but also from bottom up and saying this won't work and it's people like Mediba former Mediba. I was just Jimmy Carter is about to say Jimmy Stewart Jimmy Carter and and other heads of state and leaders that are saying you know this isn't working we've got to take a different approach so I would look to them I was going to say former president Obama but that brings up that that riles another group all together so I'm going to point to the elders. Any quick thoughts in our last minute. One person that I think it's been consistent for a long time is Reverend barber. As a force, I mean I know that he had successfully but in North Carolina his movement had done things in North Carolina bring together all kinds of people and a kind of almost neo civil rights movement kind of thing. And I just think that he speaks clearly. And, but it's getting the bandwidth and the craziness of our social media that that he gets heard, but as a voice of a from the people, you know who I've always found him very powerful and persuasive. And Rebecca to finish up. Who should we be listening to our next generation. The young people who are coming up who have to live in this world that we are that you know that we've crafted the next generation. They don't stumble over they don't buy the tyranny and they don't stumble over what color somebody is wearing or what shade their skin is and I think that really if we listen to our young people that we will think we'll get where we need to be. And thank you all for that. Hey, with the image of Greta Thunberg in our minds. Hey, we'll see you again in a couple of weeks. Stand up speak up speak out. See you.


Hey y'all, it's Tammy with Collard Valley Cooks and today we are making a delicious homemade apple pie and I hope that you grab you a couple of refrigerated pie crusts because we did the Inside homemade and make this for the holidays. You will be pleased. Oh, it's Tammy with Collard Valley Cooks today I'm gonna make a big apple pie So I'm gonna peel some apples really quick and show you how I slice them up for a pie And it's really not that kind of time-consuming if you've got the right tools to do it with I use my chef knife And I chop the top off straight so that I can lay the apple flat. I like to use golden delicious they cook up well and They just do a good job of Flavor they have a sweet taste they have a tart taste and they have a good texture when you are making an Pie, okay, so the first thing I do is I cut the tops off my apples like that. I peel them So now we're gonna peel them real quick And every fall my mama Was in a homemakers club our community called her valley had a homemakers club It was called the collard valley homemakers club. So all the local ladies in the valley got together once a month and In the fall they would always make a booth for the fair Exhibit and they would also sell treats and cakes and crafts and quilts and things that they had made throughout the year to raise money and Mama would always use the front the apples and she would make fried apple pies For the fall festivals All right, so we've got all those peeled and now what we do is we take our Slicer and we go down in the center of the apple and then we take the core out And we do this for all of our apri when you're making an apple pie because if you don't they'll start to turn And I don't like the lemon juice in mine So I try to just go kind of fast So that we don't have to fool with the lemon juice and when once you slice the core out of them Then you're gonna cut the middle part off and the end if it had any peeling left or Any part of the core and then you're just gonna slice your apples in half and throw them in the Ball you're gonna use to toss your apple pie in so just remember that ratio Remember their big apples not small apples Okay, now I am going to use some of my favorite spices This is an apple pie spiced from Penzi's and of course you can use any kind of pie spice She won't but this is what we're gonna use and I'm just gonna sprinkle it in there and Toss it really well if you want to know what there's has in it. It has cinnamon Nutmeg mason cloves, okay? So we're gonna toss this I'm also gonna add just a little bit of flour to it So we're gonna toss this together But just make sure that they're good and coated And you get them mixed up in there good We're gonna sit that to the side This is a refrigerated crust and it is pretty large Because uh-oh You can flour your surface before you roll it out if you want to I've got a really good surface to work on To work with so I don't worry so much about it as some people have to do I'll roll it up and just lightly flour my surface, but you can see It's not really wanting to stay on there or nothing I don't have any flour in my sifter When you're working with pie crust, you don't want a lot of flour like you can have with Biscuits and stuff you don't want much. Okay So remember that too so just barely You know put some on it Now I'm going to use this roller just because it's easy And I'm just going to roll My crust I'm actually going to pull it apart But I'm going to wait until I get it on the pie and I'm going to pull off this edge And maybe make a couple of leaves or something out of it. Okay so Of course, I don't know this pie. It's going to be so tall to start with I may not be able to pull it across so I think I'll just go ahead and Put some more all that kind of on my roller your little turkey Just piece it back together if it sticks together. Okay. Now we're going to roll this up like this Come here Betty You don't have to be perfect As long as it tastes good, right? And we're going to put this in our crust And you're going to want it to be pretty tall because these are going to cook down a lot Okay If you've made too many then cook some up on the stove and make some fried pies out of them like I have I'm going to take a little bit of butter And melt it in here And pour over the top of the apples Now I put more in there than I'm going to use So a half a stick easily will do it And you can use Part of it as well on top of the crust So I'm going to pour this a little butter on them Save just enough for the top of the crust. Okay Crust I'm going to try to put it in the middle I'm going to have to just kind of pull it back together y'all So just pick it up and try to pull it back together But you do want some slits, you know some nice slits in it as well I'm going to pull up the extra just a little bit of the extra And then we'll try to make it look good around the edges So I'm just going to take my fingers And just kind of pinch The crust in place Now let's make a couple of little leaves. I'm going to sit this right here and y'all can look at it up close And then I'm just going to roll up a little bit of this and we're going to make a couple of little leaves to go on it So right now what we're going to do since we got that little bad spot in our pie Turn it around and take a look see that bad spot. I'm going to make some leaves And we're going to put them right there And you want them to be thin not thick Okay How's that look? I can't see it upside down Do I look okay? Let's see. I just need a couple at the bottom that I'm going to be pretty Let me take a look at this side I'll put that one there And then one Here I think that'll do it. I'm going to put some cinnamon sugar on the pie I'm just going to pour a little butter on top of it.  Pie's ready to get out. It's been in here for quite a while. I really do believe it's ready I did put a pie crust Guard on it because it was getting quite brown So we're going to let this sit and cool down at room temperature. It's going to continue to cook just a little bit I don't want to mess up my crust with these big hand things And you can see where we messed up our crust how pretty it looks now and nobody would have even never known that We messed anything up. It looks so good Okay, you can tell by looking at our crust that it's just absolutely beautiful You if you didn't know any better. Nobody would ever know that I messed it up at all. It looks so pretty Just like it is I'll put just a little bit of butter on it And we're going to let this cool down at room temperature And let it continue to cook A little bit as it does And we won't cut this until it has cooled all the way down when we were kids I'll just tell y'all a story. Okay When we were kids, we didn't have of course these kind of apple trees. We just had those regular I don't even know what kind of apples they were But we did have some apple trees We also had crab apple trees and the crab apple trees if you'll remember they would always come This in the spring they would have a little nest and i'm that the caterpillars would build their nests in those and sometimes the cherry trees and But we always liked The crab apples when we were kids because they had a little bit of a sour taste And we had to wait longer For you know, we also liked sweet plums and we had plenty of wild plums growing and we had Mama did plant us a plum tree as well But anyway granny had an apple tree and she always peeled her apples and she always took a sheet and she had Cut a table out back behind the smokehouse and she would lay the sheets up on the table and Um Lay out her apple slices and granny dried her apples every year So she put them in the freezer. She didn't cook them up She just put them up dried and she she put them in the freezer most of the time she put them in bags And um, we would get those apples out and she would have apples with dinner Just you know cooked on the stove with some spices Or she would uh make fried apple pies or she would make an apple pie. So the they were real Uh versatile and easy to use and this apple's kind of got a brown spot them Take out of it. Okay so Anyway, um, I just remember Granny always having her apples out there Getting ready, you know And our favorite was of course the fried apple pies


Okay, fantastic. So we'll talk about MySQL 8 today. And because that is a short version of my usual presentation, we will just scrap all the stuff which are for developers and only focus on ops. Now MySQL 8 has been making a great strides in getting close to GA, and it's now released candidates, but it's still not GA, and things are still being changed, right? So this is kind of based on, well, anyway, just know what things are subject to change. And so you know, to give a creative and a creative view, I borrowed a lot of very nice pictures from Oracle team, blogs, presentations, documentation, and so on. Okay, so what are nice things in MySQL 8 for ops people? Well, there are, I think, a lot of great stuff which are in MySQL 8 in the areas of stability, high availability, performance, security, availability, and manageability. The first thing which excites me a lot is a native data dictionary, right? And this is something that is very internal, but also very important, and I would say is about 10 years overdue at this point. What is all about, right, and one focus on operations with care? Now, if you look at the MySQL, before MySQL 8, it will store table information in what so-called FRM files, right? One file per table. And then, if you use in a DB table, it would also store a copy of information in a system table space, right? The problem with such setup is what this data can be getting out of sync. For example, if you would have MySQL to crash in just the wrong time when you were doing alter table, you could have this data to be out of sync, and you have a lot of fun, money recovering, right? It also would not be quite atomic, right? If you do the single drop table or the name table, right, that would either really succeed or fail unless you crash. But if you have some sort of more complicated scenarios, for example, if you have, you know, dropping several tables one after another, before MySQL 8, that would not be atomic statement. You would have two of them drop successfully, then one of them mode to be non-existent, you get an error, right? Boom, half done statement. That is not really what you would expect from our other statements. And MySQL 8 fixes that. We also have, for that, much faster information schema, because now it can read from those real data dictionary instead of having to scan a lot of FRM files, and also no more MySum system table requires. And that is another reason why and how you could potentially have non-transactional behavior in the future, right? You would be creating stored procedure, which goes in MySum tables. Boom, you crash it at exactly that time. MySum tables corrupted.  Well, no one knows. Information schema, that is a great, great example here. And we can see this query with a join on information schema, which used to be pretty much unusable, right? Even with relatively modest amount of tables, it could take many minutes. And if you would go to a million table in this case, it would not complete even in 40 hours, right? Now MySQL 8 is able to handle that quite efficiently. And even if you have a million table, well, it will take you a bit of time. But 78 seconds, that's still usable, right? With such a large amount of tables. UTF 8, an area where MySQL 8 got a lot of focus. And why that is important, especially right now, right? Because even if you are using some of the Western languages and generally do not or did not need UTF 8 beforehand, then now we have in all the applications, we have what? Emojis, right? And emojis require really UTF 8. So if you are having kind of millennial friendly applications, then you need to use UTF 8 wherever you actually need support for languages which don't feel in Latin 1. And in MySQL 8, UTF 8 and before becomes default. And also a lot of performance work has been done to make MySQL much, much faster than it comes to UTF 8. I would also be talking about the case when MySQL 8 actually becomes slower. But that is typically when you use the Latin 1 character set. Now a lot of work has been done a lot about security as well in MySQL 8. We support for roles. Now we have many different privileges instead of super privilege, right? Where you can, for example, give somebody access to restart the instance, but not necessary to do some maintenance, some other maintenance stuff. There is a password history, so you can say, hey, we don't allow you to set one of your previous passwords. Authentication, in this case, has became much more secure with SHA2 authentication, which actually used many, many rounds of SHA2, right, for password hashings to make the brute force attack much more complicated. But it also has a very specially optimized cached version, so it can authenticate the match very quickly at the same time. Open SSL is now used both of community and enterprise edition, right? So there is no this kind of confusing differences in behavior and available options. And another thing I like is what now skip grants block remote connections. In the past, we see many, many users would get into security incident because they need to reset the password. So they start MySQL skip grants and they forget about that and what they get. MySQL open to all the internet and now accepting connections with no password, right? Now, that's not going to work. If you're resetting the password, it will be only MySQL accessible locally for until you recover the password and restart it back in a normal way. Encryption is also improved. In MySQL 5.7, there is a great start in the encryption, which does encrypt energy with table spaces, but that would not encrypt things as your redo logs and undo logs stored in the system table space. In MySQL, it fixes that. So all the information stored in the database is being encrypted. Another thing, persistent after increment. And I think I would say about 10 years overdue, right? So now, in this case, you would not have a case where your after increment value can be reset to something else in some scenarios, right? And you would not have a chance to get duplicate IDs and stuff like that. After manage and do table space. That is another area where I think a lot of folks involved in MySQL operations had a lot of problem through years, right? What would happen before is if you have some expensive update queries or just a select query which was running for a long time and other queries created a lot of undo space in the DB, you could have that space being sort of, let's say, stuck forever in the system table space. And the only way kind of to get it back would be to recreate your database. In MySQL 8, you have undo table space. Those are stored in a separate table space by default. And then it's also automatically purged. So if you need it for some space for a period of time, you use it. Then all those workload completed, it will automatically shift the machine back. Self-tuning for in a DB also I think is very important, especially in the cloud. Now, if you enable this option in a DB dedicated server, then you may be able to set a MySQL and it will automatically scale if you're instant size in the cloud, for example, by setting at least three most important variables appropriately. It is not complete and I think there could be a lot more stuff than with automatic tuning that has a great start. Now, partial update of JSON. That is also another very important performance thing. If you are storing docs, especially large documents in the MySQL, actually even in something like MongoDB, right? Because if you're just updating one field, maybe there's a counter, maybe that's a little some stamp, you need to update it. You don't want the whole document to be kind of completely written in the database. That is very expensive. MySQL 8 can now just update that field inside the document without fetching that and storing it back. Just you have a very small point update and also it can handle that efficiently through a replication. Where you would also only log the change in a row based replication for JSON field, not for a whole big row if you choose so. Invisible indexes, that's another feature I filed in many years ago. And the problem of the indexes is they're easy to add but they're hard to drop because it's hard to be quite sure what that index is really not needed by your application.  And then it may take you many hours to go ahead and rebuild that index back because that's expensive, right? Now what you can do with MySQL is instead make that index invisible. So it will be still maintained but not used by the optimizer. And if you support what there are some queries you still have which needed, you can make it visible back instantly, right? And if it's actually not needed you can drop it in a week or a month or wherever you think is appropriate. Teampeatable storage engine, that is actually one of the things how UTF-8 was optimized. It's much more efficient storage engine for internal temporary tables which are used for many complicated group by queries. And what it provides is much more efficient storage for this temporary data especially if you have VARCAR and VAR binary columns. Now right now it doesn't deal with Globe and Text columns. They'll still would require in the DB temporary table. But those are to be fixed as I understand. Backup logs, that's another neat feature which allows us to prevent inconsistent backups result sometimes, right? So now you can set the special local backup which would ensure the backup can be taken successfully. And it would only prevent some only rare operations. Your normal traffic would not be blocked by this log instance for backup. Optimizer histograms, that gives us a detailed statistics on columns, not just indexes. And it really allows optimizer to do much better choices in many cases. And what is interesting in this case I provide as an example, this statistics is stored as JSON, which makes that much more extensible. And I hope that will allow my school optimizer team to roll in more statistics or different format of those histogram information without needing to redesign it completely from scratch, right? And wait for many years for a new release. Another fix or improvement in the optimizer is improved cost model, which allows for example to keep an account how much data is sketched versus is not, right, which you have to fetch from a disk. Here's a link with some blog post about more information, but in general that can be very important to get the good execute or better execution plans for some workloads. In my school optimizer, I'm actually some other helpful changes. I don't have a time to cover them all, so here's a link for you. An official MySQL guide, it has some more information about MySQL 8 optimizers specifically, as well as some other features. Performance schema is getting much faster as well. And partly that is through having indexes on performance schema. The interesting thing about the indexes on performance schema is what we are actually fake indexes, and the internal information schema just pretends as it has indexes, and just because it's in memory and can scan the data so quickly, that provides their much better execution plan in the works quite neatly. It also has error instrumentations and response time histograms, both global as well as per query digest. And also includes query examples in summary by digest so you can actually take the query example for some slow query and run explain for you to see why is it slow. Here is example of a performance schema performance, right? Looking through the built-in session table, which was designed as a sort of better show process list. But unfortunately in 5.7 it wasn't usable with large number of sessions. So 1,000 sessions would take 30, 40 seconds. That's not as much as you probably would want to wait for a show process list. Now you can see it takes a second or two even if there is a large number of sessions available. Remote management features, I think the speaker before me mentioned and shown action restart common, which I think is fantastic to restart the index. And another one is set persist, which is another very great common which allows us to set a variable to be persisted when it instantly starts. Because there are so many MySQL users would set the global variable to some value and just not modify MyCNF, keep MySQL running for a few months. When restart and boom, it behaves differently is much slower or wherever else you may have changed. And nobody really understands why because that change was long forgotten. If it says persist, you can ensure what those things don't happen. MySQL also assumes defaults is SSD right now, which is great. Not a lot of things are done for that as of yet, but that is good to change in direction at least. MySQL is also prepared to be able to ask as a replication master by default. Binlog is enabled, logslip updates enabled and log expire by default, right? So you don't need to do anything to prepare that to be useful for configuration. Query cache is removed, right? So if you need the query cache, then you probably should be looking at ProxySQL, right? Or you may have some other caching solution in place already. Native partitioning. So generic partition have is removed in MySQL 8. It was kind of substantially slower than native partitioning. That means if you're using storage engines like MySum, which does not have a native partition support, then you would have to either remove partitioning from that or convert it able to in the DB before upgrading. Resource groups, that is another cool stuff where you can essentially map some of the queries in your workload to specific CPU cores, which can help you to reduce the contention. But then, B, it also allows you to kind of to jail some of your expensive queries, right? So for example, maybe you have some analytical queries which can be very expensive and if you let your analytics team to run while they'll consume all the server resources, you can set it so they only are able to use no more than let's say two or four CPU cores and that's it. We also get the better performance at scale, right? You can see with MySQL, again, if you have a really big RN and really large number of concurrently active threads, it can beat the previous MySQL, MySQL versions. We also like what a lot of stuff we can use in our Percona monitoring management solution in MySQL 8, especially much faster performance and information schema and more information available in performance schema is great and allows us to build a lot more features out there. Okay, now things which are not so great, alcohol and feature requests. The single thread performance still sucks and we don't have a parallel query support as of yet, right? And hopefully that will get to roadmap sometime, sometime soon. Here is the graph, right? From the champion of MySQL single thread performance, Mark Colligan, right? And actually I chair picked one with the worst regression, right? Guilt charge charge, but you can see what for some cases, we have less than half performance in MySQL 8 as we had in MySQL 5, right? So I think that is something we would like to see some reverse, right? And it doesn't have to be this way. There is another database which is called SQLite, which is able to both add the new features in the new releases as well as have single thread performance being better release after release. And the last thing, if you guys are interested in much more information about MySQL 8 and MySQL and other open source database in general, we welcome you to come to Santa Clara in the United States. We will have a live conference out here. Just want to let you know. And that's it, and I think I still have a whole three minutes for questions, right, Fred? No questions, yes. So, you mean information schema? Well, yes, pretty much instead of in the internal data detection, right? And the FRM files, now we'll have just one data dictionary. Any other questions, thoughts? What? Memory engine, what about memory engine? Well, so the question is, is memory engine going to be replaced, right? So now we have this team P table engine which is designed for in memory temporary tables. And those tables have a very specific workload which is needed to resolve the queries. Now, wherever that engine is going to be at a future time exposed for general purpose use, I honestly don't know. Okay, well, thank you. Yes, let's make space for Sviada.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of prime comments and again another shortened week this week We had a ton of videos go up Liberty down to only four comments probably our lowest amount total But I don't have a lot of time today to get out a longer episode, so we're going to try to keep it short We'll see what happens And the first comment we're gonna tackle this week comes from the death of neo gaff and how I feel about it Mr. Habes had this to say Where do you think everyone will go now and then it was replied to by dex to said Reddit it's that simple. I don't think it is that simple It appears that reset era.com is the new Neo gaff a neo gaff itself is back online But it's kind of a shell of its former self yet a lot of people torpedoing their accounts getting banned And in general there seems to be a very tiny user base Still there now, obviously, it's a heck of a lot more active than our own forums with neo gaff was you know the house of thousands upon thousands of fans and Reset era launched a few days after neo gaff went down and reset era I'm actually a member of reset era as well And it was approved for being part in the dinner prime Which is cool like Zelda informer was why I was approved for neo gas Penal prime approved me for reset era is great Reset era was founded by some of the former mods and some new people including people I really respect in the industry like Z huge X off of Twitter And just you know a bunch of people that I actually use For sourcing for finding out like leaks and stuff It's really great to see some of them behind reset era people who had just haven't been part of neo gaff for a very long time if ever and Yeah, they're I think at the time of me Like reporting on this talking about this was like 20,000 members that have joined reset era 20,000 think about that That's just an insane amount of people to join now I know some people say oh reddit because reddit is more popular has more people but when you look at I'm gonna throw up a screenshot quickly here of The front side of reset era right now and then the front side of gaming the gaming the main gaming channel on Reddit and you'll quickly see that there's a big reason people prefer something like reset era slash neo gaff over reddit That's a very different kind of place than reddit is so no reddit couldn't simply just replace neo gaff Reset era appears to be the new replacement for it I don't know how many people there that are developers and I know there's a bunch of media people there But yeah, we'll see what happens I'm enjoying my time at reset era so far everyone seems to be enjoying their time there And there doesn't seem to be as much political discourse and a bunch of the other things that Really drove drove neo gaff to being irrelevant for some people over the years Anyway, it's moving on Our second comment that we're gonna talk about from this week comes from the Pokemon on switch features their best developers while younger staff work on the 3ds and Daniel Evans had this to say new developers or vets don't matter much to me But certain personalities have a huge effect Miyamoto for example aims to simplify games he oversees He might not be a great fit for Pokemon, but for Mario He's perfect. Just keep him away from that paper Mario I hope that both Pokemon teams see the value in changing up the stories and goals in Pokemon We've seen a move away from badges and I think there's still so much room to expand an experiment with the world of Pokemon There's obviously a lot of room to expand the world of Pokemon. There's no You're not gonna see any argument for me suggesting otherwise It's interesting that you say that Miyamoto's goal is to simplify games he oversees Whereas I don't think that's the case of Miyamoto. I think Miyamoto likes to Head out too far down the new idea route as an example He definitely didn't simplify the new Star Fox game He actually made it more complicated by forcing these controls into the game Then a lot of people just didn't want if you for the for the parts of the game You can play without using motion controls. It is highly enjoyable now But yeah, I don't think Miyamoto is really a key cog there for your example, but I do understand What you're saying that obviously it matters who's like the director of the game more so than it matters Which team is making it whether it's younger developers or newer developers? Newer developers tend to have more fresh ideas and the older developers that are kind of stuck in their ways That's usually the contrast like Breath of the Wild had a lot of newer developers working on it with a lot of fresh ideas injected into it Whereas we could talk about AJ and almost influence all we want on the game, which is clearly there, you know He he controls the whole Zelda series So clearly it's there clearly the director's Influences there but more than that the developers at Nintendo get a lot of input into games now game freak is separate from Nintendo They're their own thing Nintendo technically doesn't own game freak So how they handle development might not be the same way that Nintendo does where Nintendo lets their developers inject their ideas into the game and then the director and the person in charge of it decides that those ideas stay in but yeah, it's It's definitely getting interesting. I don't know what they're gonna do. I didn't even know they abandoned the badge system This is how out of touch I am with Pokemon But yeah, there's definitely a lot that could still be done with Pokemon as evidenced by the ongoing Anime series and the fact the games have been around for so long. It's not like they're out of ideas. So yeah, we'll see I have high hopes for that game our next comment comes from the youtuber band three months for live streaming Super Mario Odyssey pre-launch and these last two Comments we're gonna take I have to do with Mario and Eladaya, I can't even pronounce it a la d ya had this to say his account should be permanently banned and his console should be Bricked along with the Nintendo account permanent ban. That's a little harsh because When we reported on that when I talked about it Obviously, it sucked it was happening. We don't know for 100% if it was an illegal copy of the game I suggested that he had an illegal copy of the game, but we don't know that Some people are saying that he just had a legal copy of the game from a retailer that broke street date Which to me felt confusing because he lives in Hong Kong and they don't have switch games in Hong Kong They don't have Nintendo switches in Hong Kong So having a retailer in Hong Kong break street date when they're not even supposed to have the system in the games It's really weird. That doesn't mean you can't get a hold of it I'm sure there's a black market. But then if you're getting it from a black market, that's illegal. Anyways, maybe he got it Well, he was out of country. Maybe he came to the US or some other low, you know Country stuff next to China and was able to get it by by some retailer in like Taiwan or something that broke street date And then brought it back to Hong Kong. I have no idea But that's why I'm a little hesitant to say he didn't get an illegal copy of the game when we're talking about the fact that Happened and obviously some people pointed out how there's no official emulator for switch. You're right. There's no there's no official emulator for switch But that doesn't mean that he can't find a way to run the game locally on the switch Now I know as far as we are aware There is no modding on switch right now that allows you to download a ROM into a cartridge or an SD card Throw it into the system and play it natively as far as we're aware. I did some research into this There is nothing that is publicly aware at least right now of that being possible and there might even be modders out There that are saying it's not possible. I don't know all I know is the guy played the game and streamed it And he got a three month ban Now I don't think he should be permanently banned More and more I hear about this the more and more I understand that it probably was a retail copy of the game No matter how he got his hands on it I don't think he should be permanently banned. I think Three months is fine. I know I suggest that maybe his account should just be shut down if he was a leaker, but if he's I don't know it's Now like he was streaming it weeks beforehand, right? It was a few days before and which helps us cause that it was a broken street date I think three months. It is fine I think he's learned his lesson already in fact and will probably never break Even if he gets a game before street date, we'll probably never stream a game before street date again Nintendo obviously did not take kindly to that and yeah, I mean life moves on I know I was a lot harsher in that video, but you know when you take time to reflect on things a little bit more You realize that maybe the situation was overblown a little bit But again if it was a leaked version and around like I everything I said stands But yeah, we'll we'll step off the gas pedal there three months seems fair For someone who probably didn't know they were doing anything wrong in the first place I'm moving on The last comment we're gonna talk about this this week is a rather lengthy one and it comes from the Super Mario Odyssey reviews are Topping Breath of the Wild and my hype is exploding. I mean you'll see I have Odyssey up there on the TV I have the game. I've streamed it a couple times plan to stream it later today if things work out But Which I know some of you guys would be overdosed so that we just had 5j. I know Yesterday and today also streaming Super Mario Odyssey, but I don't care. I'm gonna play it so why not stream it and Philip Stafford one of our regulars had this to say people need to play more before writing a review because sadly Mario is Objectionally not a 10. It's a solid 9 There are some serious control issues in the normal worlds most of the controls are good aside the hat There's no Z targeting instead. You have to shake the controller to auto aim now besides that being slower than hitting a button The problem is shaking the controller can allow you to do the spin attack as well So sometimes when you just want to attack a nearby enemy about to hit you you end up doing Long-winded spin attack another issue is you're not allowed to use the d-pad Which makes the platforming segments annoying? You need precise controls for precise platforming You also need to hit ZL to duck in the 2d segments Which is unnatural as you can get then there's special areas like the bullet bill maze Si or the actual controls flip-flop due to camera angles and which way you're facing It's bad. These aren't small control issues sadly.  You're the one to invented such for crying out loud. What were you thinking? Don't get me wrong It's still a great aim. Just know when you're 10 now I have not reviewing Super Mario Odyssey, so I can't sit there and defend why other people gave it a 10, but Let me just say this Nothing is objectionally not a 10 because reviews are subjective This is something that bothers me when we talk about reviews in general are people that That feel like reviews need to be objective if you want an objective review Go watch the technical analysis of the game from digital foundry. That's the only the only way you can be Objective about a game because when you're reviewing a product, it's about your experience with the game So if you play the game and you're like do this game is perfect. It's a 10 Okay, you you could try to argue against it just like you're trying to do with the controls here And I heard this kind of same argument really back in the skyward store when all these people were complaining about the controls Complaining about the controls. I love the controls so Am I wrong for thinking that game is a hell of a lot better than other people think it is no I'm not wrong because it's my Opinion it's my experience with the game and my experience with the game It is a lot higher rated than other people's experience with the game And just because those reviewers or certain reviewers their experience with the game warrants it a 10 Doesn't mean that your experience with the game is going to warrant it a 10 We're all very very different people Take an example, you know, I'm glad to know, you know, you basically say your issue with the game's controls I've seen other people say that the game is too linear or too easy I've seen other people say it's not as open as they would like yada yada yada yada yada like it's all about personal preferences, right? I don't like the fact there's no z targeting. I don't remember Mario ever having z targeting Why would the adzee targeting into Mario now when it's never been there just because you have throw an item? I don't get that. I think that takes away some of the skill of throwing the hat I think what's cool about throwing cappy is there are so many different like if you go to the action menu And you look there are so many different ways to throw cappy and use cappy And now I can understand why some people might be frustrated with the motion controls You're speaking to someone that has that happened sometimes I'm using the pro controller for my entire play through and if you then the motion controls are bad These and like split joy cons should try it with the pro controller Although it appears I'm having less issue with the motion controls than some other people are as an example to do a spin At that we grab the pro controller To have my hat do a spin I go like this That makes the hat spin around with the pro controller to have it like after you throw the hat to make it do the whole You know Auto-aim thing that you're talking about which isn't technically auto-aiming. It's I forget what they call that It's homing in So like the hat's doing its own thing. I just have to go like this Which is very different motion from this when I go like this it spins I go like this It it homes in and then there's certain like little flicking motions That'll make it do like the the vertical and I don't know that there's just a whole bunch of moves I didn't perfect it all of them, but the motion controls haven't really been giving me an issue And maybe it's because I'm using this instead of the joy cons. I I'm not really sure I I don't know the opposite Nintendo tells you the preferred way to play is the split joy car mode I haven't done that yet So maybe when I will I'll agree with some of your assessment But then if your assessment falls apart when I'm using the pro controller, okay Then the criticism is just that the joy cons are not the best way to play the game So I don't know it's I don't have as many issues with the controls as you do I'm in fact the controls almost feel better to me because the game in 60 frames per second like Mario's responding to me Way quicker than he did in other games Which I know some people are saying isn't happening, but it is for me So I I don't know Again a lot of things are subjective and like when you say you're now allowed to use a d-pad Which makes platforming saying what's annoying you need precise controls. I haven't had a problem with that We're in a 3d environment the d-pad to me is useless in a 3d environment because you're not on a grid Like the d-pad works really well for grid based platforming. That's not what this is So I don't know why people keep saying they need a d-pad when there's nothing the d-pad is doing that the controls That can't do and do better just get better at using the stick. I don't get it We're in a 3d environment Even when you're in the 2d environment, none of those 2d spaces are so difficult that they have that level of platforming That you need that sort of precision for So I don't get it at least from my experience so far. I haven't beaten the game So maybe there's some segments like in the 2d part where a d-pad would be better I don't know but then again, they probably figure most people playing aren't going to be like Oh, we go up here and then go down and use the d-pad Especially when the game's designed for joy cons that doesn't have a d-pad.  I mean, whatever Okay, I can see that's annoying, but I don't think it's unintuitive as you suggest or unnatural. It's just different You know, it's just different it's mapping it to a different button. I I don't really get why why that's suddenly a big issue Again for the most part, I just disagree with your general assessment of Super Mario Odyssey. Does that mean I think it's at a 10? No But it doesn't mean that I can't see why others think it's a 10 It's all about the subjective nature of reviews when you talk about objectively. It is not a 10 objectively what Do you know what reviews are reviews are subjective? Objective things are technical analysis. They're not your experience with a game And that's what people read reviews for are for their experience with a game You know your experience with the game might tell you it's not a 10 Because of these factors and that is 100% correct for you. That doesn't make it 100% correct Objectively because there are going to be plenty of people that disagree with you. So, oh, yeah It's subjective reviews are all subjective All of them. There's not a single review out there. No matter how much the reviewer might say I'm taking them objective view An objective view an objective view. They're not unless they're just doing an analysis If all they are doing is an analysis of the game and not impressions of the game or a review of the game Then fine like these are products, right? We're not talking about, you know I can grab this wallet here and beyond the aesthetics, right? Beyond the aesthetics of this wallet I could talk about the functionality of this wallet right about, you know, how many pockets it has How easy it is to fold with a certain number of bills and then I could take this and compare it to another wallet And compare how well that holds bills and how many cards it has and the quality and how it's held up over time That you could be objective about now. I can't be one thing I can't be objective of is this you see this art pattern You know, that's not an objective thing This is a subjective opinion that I prefer this art pattern this breathable art pattern on here compared to my other wallets That are plain black Again, that's a subjective thing, but the objective thing would be talking about the capabilities of the wallet. So That's what you can do with like a product when you're talking about a game a game is an experience and When you're experiencing something just like when you're watching a movie, there's no objective way to review that There's just an analysis from a technical standpoint And then there's the review and those are two separate things. They are intermingled Obviously like if the game has major frame rate jobs That's a technical thing that can also affect your experience with the game and technical things can obviously affect your experience with the game Anyways, but yeah, I think you get my point, right reviews cannot be objective analysis can be reviews are Completely 100% subjective. So yeah, when you say Odyssey can't be a 10 objectively Reviews aren't objective.
