Can't you consider that knowledge is a function of previous data? In your example, the 2 individuals actually didn't receive the same amount of data because the English speakers received data previously that allowed him to build s

I don't think that's the way Chesterton's fence is supposed to be used. The kind of situations where it could be applied is when an individual wants to change a system, i.e., when an developer wants to rewrite a codebase that

NPM is not a trusted repository, I think. There are no checks done to the content of the packages uploaded by users. It's up to you to make sure that what you add to your project doesn't contain malware/vulnerabilities. If yo

I don't understand the point of your comment. You're providing a solution that doesn't fit the initial requirement of a system being trust-less. So, indeed, your solution works, but as you described, it requires trust in the

I would wager that your self-hosted GitLab has less uptime than GitHub (or the quality of the deployment). We typically underestimate the downtime of the software we deploy ourselves, probably because we're attached to it, or because w

What is the usefulness of this feature? The only advantage I see is that your clients can choose the format they want to work with, but since the serialization format is just a message format that has no impact on the code, and that most of

I spent the last 2 years making an online adaptation of a board game. I chose Typescript mainly because I was comfortable enough in this language and I don't regret this choice. Typescript is, for me, the right balance between the stri

Fair enough! I can understand the reasoning if you need to code a client in a different language, then you would effectively need to code the whole game once again. I feel like it would quickly bore me to code the rendering of each set of m

I spent the last two years coding a reimplementation of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game[1], and I would use this paradigm if I had to recode it. Sharing the code between the client and the server brings a lot to the table. Having to wait

I feel like your post describes exactly what Kubernetes and container images would bring to your infra. If you were to deploy a solution like you described, you would get something more complex than simply running Kubernetes, except worse.
