The website even saves the state between visits. E.g. move an icon some where, close the page, and come back. Really impressed by that.

It's kind of fitting he works at Microsoft when the desktop heavily feels like Windows. Dragging and dropping everything feels super satisfying. This must be the first native-style UI for the web that almost feels perfect (the only gli

To the guy who said the pull was horrible: IMO, the most important thing about a pull request is to... actually be productive. I've worked with people in the past who would nit-pick my commit messages wanting me to waste hours of my ti

Python is like anything in that it rewards experience. If you know about asyncio you can write beautiful, performant code that can deal with networking, files, and other blocking resources without halting the program every time. If you know

Yes, OP. In fact you should try see a doctor for this as soon as you can. People with ADHD have spoken about how they lost years of their lives through unrealized potential. People that might have otherwise gotten degrees, had more successf

Comments like this are unhelpful and just read like an attempt to punch-down on someone. If you think that something doesn't make sense then you must be able to list and describe what's wrong. Or do you expect people to be able to

The time-lock acts as a way to ensure names aren't revealed the moment channels are registered which would create a race condition where attackers could hijack names by registering them on other servers. The channel name is something l

Hey people, I wanted to say thanks for all the comments: positive and negative. I've probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of code for projects over the years that had no interest at all. I am fairly good at engineering but v

I know this is HN but not everything needs to be monetized. There is such a thing as doing something because you want to. People write open source software largely because they want to and if it helps them they might as well let others use

I see what you're saying but your whole argument seems extremely black and white. It's like: you're saying that because there's a theoretical scenario where every server can over-take a name then the system as a whole is

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. One channel is registered per server, for one name. Successful registrations require a super majority of those registrations to succeed. Lookups can be limited to a sub-set as long as the result

No offense but your table is kind of deceptive. Obviously you can route between anyone if your strategy is to fallback to using a proxy server. Libp2p do the same thing specifically for the same reason [simplistic code.] But the whole point

What part of Veilid provides a key-value store for DNS as a service? I'm not seeing anything on the site that mentions it.

The channel names are unique per server. Knowing the channel name isn't enough to infer what name it represents so you can't just go and register the name on other servers after observing channel names. The only way to know what a

Both Alice and Bob check if a name is already registered beforehand. Lets say that both of them see that a name is available and go to register it at the same time. Either both will fail (due to taking X names each) or one will succeed (per

Spam is unwanted messages that displace what you want to see. In IRC: channels can be set to private which hide them from the channel listing. So that the server continues to operate in the same way. The software isn't doing anything o

Looks like an interesting project. When I was building my library I considered UDP hole punching but decided to focus exclusively on TCP because of how bad UDP is to work with. The issue with UDP is you're going to have to write a poor

I've been there. The biggest struggle I had was with the constant self-doubts and cynicism. Just when you need the most motivation it seems that everything is against you. All I can say is it's normal to feel like trash during the

Any bold statements made that can't be supported will quickly be shot down by other teams. So long as they've been transparent enough about their methodology others can try replicate their results. You don't have to like Chin

I wish there was a functional alternative to patents. It seems like if you have a good idea there should be some protections afforded to you to use it. At the very least attribution. But who can afford the cost of registering patents and th
