Yes, I just used this opportunity to raise this point. I don't know what Gödel himself thought of it. But I find it very disheartening when such an interesting find is presented as simply "a paradox" akin to the phrase "

They are definitely distinct. The key insight of Godel's incompleteness theorem is that there is a statement that can't be proved as true but is indeed true and can be perceived as true by an observer outside of the mechanical-log

No, it would run in a VM. Just like JavaScript of current browsers, but better.

by fiatjaf 5y ago
What if instead of trying to make standalone programs that run everywhere someone took the approach the browser took, but more on the native side? Make a runtime that can run a bunch of quasi-native code and make it download code from URLs

https://www.regular-expressions.info/ is the best place to learn though, not because of the tools, but because the text is so good, so clear, you can learn without helper tools, just by reading, and become a regex master in

What is this data we want to semantically link by the way?

This is not true, most languages are multiplatform. And there are dozen of multiplatform native GUI frameworks out there. Flutter is one of them, the other ones I cited too.

You need specific hardware to be able to publish Electron apps for Mac too.

Has the web won on mobile? No. In fact there was a time in which Cordova-like apps were getting very popular, but react-native and then Flutter, Kotlin and Swift have ended that. Or at least that's my impression. react-native is almost

I agree. Writing native apps is very easy once you get mildly used to any framework for writing native apps. The "web" is just another framework, a very popular one, but also one that is very bloated and hard-to-use.

I agree with that. Doing layouts with HTML and CSS is too open, flexible, which means you have to do everything yourself from scratch every single time. Another thing you have to do from scratch is the eye candy aspect of every webapp. I gu

When are we going to get back truly native apps? Flutter Desktop works great, and there are a bunch of nice GUI libraries for Rust, also some new developments for the JRE.

Honestly, it's ridiculous that you claim that this basic client-server architecture "does not scale at all" and then proceed to recommend IPFS or "some sort of DHT", which are the things that were never tested at sc

The analogy would be valid if IP addresses were permanent and DNS was only consulted once -- and then communication between these two parties was done directly through the IP forever.

To me it sounds pretty much like client-server architecture.

Relays don't have any requirements, you can run very lightweight relays that do very little or very big relays that do a lot of things -- and so on.

Well, Twitter has been going into a series of serious banning recently. They even banned the president of the United States. All these banned people had to find homes in suboptimal platforms from which they can be banned again and so on. If

No, you don't. You can have DNS-based aliases to pubkeys, and then people will follow pubkeys and interact with pubkeys, not with the DNS aliases. So if these users are censored later from the DNS then they still keep their identity, t

From what I know USENET is more like Mastodon. Nostr has similarities with Mastodon but it's much more flexible, scalable, not to mention the public key infrastructure.

So you can't do that? I do it all the time when I fork something.

Where is the link to the code and installation steps?

Wait, it already works there. Amazing!

Someone please add support for DuckDuckGo!

If you read this you might be interested in this protocol which started as an idea for truly censorship-resistance Twitter but it's evolving into a generic suite of many subprotocols that involve interaction between users. https:&#x2F

Changelogs without reference to the actual source changes are completely and utterly useless. Changelogs with reference to the actual source changes are support natively by git. They're called commits.
