Thanks @pc for the last words! I built opalang.org many years ago - introducing a mix of functional programming, strong static typing for the web, fixing the independence mismatch between client/server/db etc. in 2009, and althoug

Just looking at the source and finding out it's JavaScript. Although I'm probably living in a cave and didn't use Linux often on the desktop since years, it is common practice now to write Gtk/Gnome apps in JS? I tought

Does this energy consumption come more from mining (i.e. finding the new bitcoins) or from transactions? If the former, then the Bitcoin network should find a way to reward nodes for transactions in a more environmentally-friendly manner si

France clearly stands out in this map. As a result, the country is the world's leader in using few carbon resources: Share of electricity produced from oil, gas and coal in 2015. Indonesia: 89% Australia: 86% Netherlands: 82% India: 81

Note that the works seem to be in the Public Domain, since the author died in 1934 and the copyright law is 70 years after death in France. However, there is a co-author but no information is available on her/him which might extend the

For the record, we built a similar offering, cf. https://github.com/wallix/datapeps-sdk-js (in my previous life). We started the implementation after the Snowden revelations, tied to a web messaging platform called PEP

Just curious, did you try some alternatives first and what are the advantages/drawbacks?

In my experience, most customers end up trusting at least one cloud vendor. If not GCP (which does not have regions in France for example), they will trust Azure or AWS (who do). If they are a big e-commerce company, they will hate AWS but

.com itself is probably worth 100s of billions. A new Big Four... There are more than 100M .com domains. An average price of $100/year would leave sites with no other option than to pay. So, that's a $10bn/year business with

Impressive! At the time, France was the world's leading power and accomplished great things (the tallest building in the world, advances in all scientific fields, etc.). The two WW (both originating from Germany attacking) changed that

This app would be a good candidate to integrate a E2EE framework. Disclaimer: I'm building one based on a API/SDK architecture. https://github.com/wallix/datapeps-sdk-js

Yes, any db including Dynamo would have been fine. Our software E2EE solution has advantages over HSM though: Cost obviously, and more features and extensibility.

Exactly. As I read the original article, which mentions "encryption-at-rest", there was a voice in my head crying: "No, what they need is E2EE". That would enable the authors to write confidential drafts of the articles,

Go/Gin is indeed a very good stack for building REST APIs, thanks for sharing! If someone is interested to compare, I recently wrote a sample React app with a similar server stack: Go/Gin plus gorm (and SQLite, but easy to change)

Rust is a wonderful language, but I still have the impression that it is not stable as of 2018. All the toys I've made to play with it during the last years went deprecated quickly, especially if you rely on the ecosystem of packages (

We implemented a database abstraction layer called DbGen which generates the actual queries from a common ground. The key idea is to traverse a tree datastructure which will map to database entities, for instance: database my_db {
