It'd be interesting to talk about how this might work.

I didn't write the "unofficial" part, but I can answer the questions: > Does it mean that people don't work on it full-time and it's a 20% project? That there are a few of us paid full-time to work on this, plus

We haven't written the docs. That's what the issue I linked in the parent post is about.

In Upspin you typically store your files in a remote server somewhere on the net (our default implementation uses Google Cloud Storage as its storage backend), which is something you need to pay for. The solution to the problem you describe

by enneff 10y ago
Upspin users maintain their own storage servers, or use storage servers maintained by someone else. The Upspin project itself doesn't have any authority or control over the type of content stored or shared with the system. > google

That's the plan! :-)

This is pretty much correct. Upspin is way more filesystem-like than Camlistore, but I would emphasize Upspin's single global name space, rather than the filesystem-ness. I think both Camlistore and Upspin have promising models.

In case it's not clear, this project is in its very early stage of development. There's a ton of work to do to get it into the hands of non-technical users. From the readme: "Upspin has rough edges, and is not yet suitable fo

You need to register your public key with key.upspin.io in order to speak to any Upspin servers, so in that sense it is not "account free". You need to prove to others that you are who you say you are. There is an "all"

I feel like it's still early days, but that's a good suggestion! I filed an issue: https://github.com/upspin/upspin/issues/209

We are aware of kbfs, ipfs, and several other systems. There are many trade-offs one can make in this space, and I think Upspin's set of tradeoffs is somewhat unique. One reason we started this project instead of contributing to others

Yeah it was a mistake not to include that link in the blog post. It is definitely similar to Keybase Filesystem, and a few other things too. There are many axes for making trade offs in this space, and I think Upspin set of trade offs is un

Upspin is one of Google's many Open Source projects. It's not really skunkworks, per se, just something that we wanted to work on and were lucky enough to be supported by Google in doing so. The email addresses are Upspin user nam

You're definitely missing a lot. Please take a look at the overview doc, it should be mostly explained here: https://upspin.io/doc/overview.md One of the key elements of Upspin is that all content is signed and en

My interpretation was that the "citation needed" was in reference to "we have seen similar claims before that have turned out to be false or exaggerated greatly".

Microsoft puts more effort into keeping things working than Apple does. Go works on XP as a result of the work Microsoft has done, not the Go project. Apple change subtle things in each OS X release making it onerous to support the older on

Those features were the impetus for the tool, and as far as I'm aware they were Not Invented Anywhere at the time. :-)

I don't remember the details of our testing platform, it's been a while since I've been involved in ARM6 builders. I do remember that we used to test against emulators but they diverged significantly enough from the real hard

Reveal wasn't a thing when I wrote present. I probably would have used it as a front end, had it existed. Tools like Keynote and Google Slides were exactly the kind of thing we were trying to improve upon. They're great for making

Can you suggest another presentation tool that makes it as easy to author and maintain slides? Nothing like this existed when Rob and I wrote present.

by enneff 10y ago
Well Apple stopped supporting 10.8, so why should Go continue to support it? ARM6 support is a lot of work, actually, as IIUC a lot of stuff that the chip doesn't support needs to be done in software, and we don't have a reliable

Russ Cox, the guy who wrote this post, is the technical lead for the Go project. He authored more of Go's code base than anyone else (by a huge margin). His opinion about these issues holds more weight than pretty much anyone. I wouldn
