I was thinking in terms of relative human effort. Adding a neural network into an open source project like bittorrent is going to be very fast to integrate and will probably offer performance that meets the satisficing criteria of being ins

This is something bittorrent could get better at. It would be cool to update the bittorent spec to use eg. a resnet to predict endpoint and path saturation from moment to moment. It's kind of amazing really that the near future will pr

Zip is just a file format, it supports multiple compression algorithms. You can put any compression algorithm in a zip implementation. I mentioned it because it's the oldest and most well known. The parent would probably be best off us

You can compress your data beforehand using zip or another tool. Eg. Tools like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_of_Genomic_Sequenc...

Why not use torrents over wireguard? From an engineering perspective I'd personally be hard pressed to come up with a more optimal solution for private big data transfer. If Aspera is as good as the parent suggests it's probably b

Phones are such incredibly personal devices. This should be what your phone is but economics has made phones untrustworthy because of their complexity. So I've always wondered why we haven't seen more projects like this. In my opi

You could store the data in a git repo per domain, so that implicit de-duplication happens on re-visits & for shared resources. You could have a raw dir (the files you receive from the server) and a render dir that consists of snapshots

Based on my experience learning Japanese I'd say this is the perfect approach. In the early days, people should stay away from the written side of a language. As someone not in China but interested in learning, I'd prefer to try t

So cool / futuristic. A guy once wrote an open source JVM in VHDL. I've always wondered how hard it would be to port something like that on top of an underlying FHE NAND gate implementation. Edit: Link - https://www.jop

It's an idea to provoke discussion. If you read the blog post he's got a whole list of app-y type stuff planned. This might be a way for him to save time on all that.

Hey Drew: I have a suggestion for sway/mobile. How about a simple windowmanager that shows a webview on screen and that exports a simple js api for window operations like { min,max,restore,setxy } so that frontend guys could make their

Solidarity. Noice. Didi / Ola are still subsidizing. I can't remember the exact pitch but an Uber driver pitched me the other day on a Didi deal to install the app that was insane.

From the perspective of this moment in time, when I think of Edison, I think he was right. About everything. Edison's only problem was that he was constrained by the technology of his day. We're not. I recently started a mic

I wouldn't have expected a Google related project to deathmarch like this. Energy density was always going to be the problem. The Lithium ion chemistries are just not there yet. These guys know what they are doing: https://s

It was obvious both these companies were ridiculously overvalued years ago. But there was no way to bet against them. The entire premise of the value of capitalism is that smart money can take from stupid money. But capitalism is failing be

I'd focus on sync as your headline feature. It's technologically complex to do well and it provides real value for mobile apps that want to do a great offline experience. Our phones are offline way more than most of us realize and

How I would have did it: 1. (If possible) License a mediatek phone & ship an open source android image. Sell it for a low price. Pros: No risk, great phone, Cons: Might not be possible - though Fairphone did it for a high end phone. 2.

I do this and I rarely have a stored procedure that's bigger than 25 LOC. Most are around ~5 LOC and look like this: https://gist.github.com/ericbets/a6a82041a9fd9181ee52ac0d346...

This is a great comment. I've come across deepstream over the years. I've always come away thinking that I could make something similar that would serve my needs without adding a dependency into my project. You need to demonstrate

This is how I do relational databases in 2019. My database is a self contained module more akin to an rpc api than a database. My code has virtually no database logic in it at all. I don't know but it feels like functional databases co
