Tone is narcissistic and self-important - it does not even tip a hat to address prioritisation or resource constraints - it's just "this is important to me THEREFORE IT IS IMPORTANT, GNASH, WAIL". I also think the author doe

In our world the diffs are actually simply triples - the consequences of, for example, changing a class can be complex though but the diffs are just "these triples minus, these triples plus" which really helps simplify things. We

It is a major concern - one of the things driving our focus on getting the electron / desktop out to fix the problem - which came out yesterday and makes that terrible warning disappear - allowing your users to authenticate directly fr

I don't think a reverse proxy would work in this case due to the JWT security requirements (callbackable internet accessible endpoints). In any case, that's one of the big reasons we are favoring the electron app as the primary de

aha - don't mention the war - I'm in the process of completing a release of the Seshat dataset with a TerminusDB tutorial on how to build it into a graph and query it. But I keep getting distracted when I'm just about finishe

Yes, although with databases as against log files, you also need to be able to somehow append 'deletes' and updates to existing records as well as just adding new records. The advantages of doing so is that it greatly simplifies t

Yes, this is an unfortunately buzzwordy phrase. In this case it does have some meaning though - we generate what we call class-frames from the AI - simple logical javascript programs which know how to render documents and talk to the API, b

This is a database written in Prolog: https://github.com/terminusdb/terminus-server - albeit with a RUST storage engine - prolog's lack of types means there are better storage solutions, but for constraint logic,
