I think it is exactly 1s. If you set both sides to max, it will be 2s total. 2s is a lot for latency. Checking https://cloudpingtest.com/aws , the max from where I am to any place on earth is 1.3s. There are definitely sti

Wow, thanks :). Yeah we thought it would be fun to really try and showcase it front and center.

> Posts are explicitly not immutable, so they do need to be revalidated, and that's fine. OK that's my point. In the AT protocol design the data backing posts is immutable. This makes sync, and especially caching a lot easier t

one important difference is: > expected Because the URI is only _expected_ to be immutable, not required, servers consuming these objects need to consider the case where the expectation is broken. For example, imagine the serving host ha

Awesome to see someone try and do this! I was kicking the idea around a few years ago but got sidetracked: https://github.com/tythe-protocol/tythe .

To clarify: 1. I agree the bug should be fixed. 2. I don't work on Chrome anymore and have not for 8 years. I should have made that more clear. 3. I was responding to the claim: 'the entire chain of people working on this has been

Sure but it's still possible to install non-sandboxed software. What Chrome would need is protection from _other_ software, not limits on itself. It's true that as MacOS continues to discourage non-sandboxed software, Chrome can m

I guess it depends on what you mean by "difficult". Chrome is unfortunately limited here by the security of the OS. No popular desktop OSes have application isolation: all apps have the same permissions. Any app can write to any o

Chrome makes it pretty difficult to sideload extensions, so I'm not sure what you're seeing.

I have not worked on the system for something like 8 years, so I cannot say what the current situation is.

Each client sends a sequence of mutations to the server, each identified by a mutationID. During downstream sync, server says up to which mutation it has processed. In Replicache, you can known when a mutation is finalized with the `onSync`

This is a cool approach. It reminds me of statebox by mochimedia: https://github.com/mochi/statebox . If I'm understanding correctly, it requires the mutations to be deterministic in order for the nodes to converge

I don't think this is true on both accounts: * There is no such thing as "conflict free". When users edit data disconnected from each other, they can conflict, because the user intent of the edits can be different and not pos

The answer is that turn precision just isn’t important to street skaters. Many ride their trucks absurdly tight anyway. They aren’t turning by leaning very often. Other capabilities are far more important: durability, cost, grindability, et

It seems like you’re missing the point of the demo. It is purposely not trying to hide the initial load. There’s more (a lot more) to application performance than page load speed. This obsession with page load speed is weird. How many times

I am confused. the situation is exactly as you describe, modulo the word "default": zinc oxide sunscreens are available, chemical sunscreens are also available. And I'm not sure what "default" means in this context.

No. All you have to do to use Replicache is embed the `replicache` npm package in your client-side code, and implement the expected REST interface on your server: https://doc.replicache.dev/guide/intro
