   Eh, this article was disappointing. It teaches good business practice of tackling 1 thing at a time & not over-engineering. But simply using read replicas, caches, CDNs, etc. does not mean things will scale. Actually, often this will

   I implemented an entire database in VanillaJS: It runs in-production with 10M+ monthly users! https://github.com/amark/gun ~13KB I get a lot of hate for not-using-2ton-framework-of-the-month. But I think prioritizing p

   I talked to Twitter's CTO, Parag. He said the move is to specifically reduce fragmentation in public conversation. I'm in the decentralized (dWeb) community (we have 10M+ users monthly, in-production, running thru GUN) and admitte

   How many thoughts/ideas/things can you process simultaneously? I can probably do up to 8 different subjects/thesis, but I also can imagine in: audio, touch, sound, color, space, abstract, visual, time, taste, smell, linguisti

   I don't understand. It says I completed a registration for a company I never signed up to. I did visit that company's restaurant that day, but I did not purchase anything. Are some companies auto-registering you?

   I know so many projects with barely any popularity being forced to move off of IPFS cause of performance problems. DAT,SSB don't work in browser. WebTorrent is the original better choice. But I'm seeing most big projects move to G

    React was like this for a long while too, compared to Angular. Then once some big "used in production by NYT/x/y/z" hits, a premier conference talk, then things explode with everyone virtue-signaling how they use th

    I'm a competitor, and I want to applaud this work! - SapphireDB is truly Open Source, MIT! - There demo worked like a charm! We could really use more projects like this out there. Here is a criticism though: - It seems currently to onl

    Started, but never finished. :( @nmaro has some pretty good stuff. The cartoon explainers gives an overview. But you'd probably want to do RGA algorithm or one of the newer ones. Martin Kleppmann has a pretty good talk with bunch of pa

    You have to choose which type of Array: 1. An atomic Array 2. Fixed index Array 3. Linked list Now rather than not knowing what magic is going to happen, app developers know what to expect in advance. So atomic would choose one or the other

    Thank you! They also like the math & science behind it, some investors do DD, some don't. You're tone is pretty assuming, smug, and insulting. It is running in production with millions of people, yes there are some hiccups, bu

    Same algorithm for everything. This cartoon explains it: https://gun.eco/distributed/matters.html It is a vector + timestamp + lexical sort. A delete is changing a value to `null`, it would lose (I assume you are askin

    Yes, merging is per peer, not server transformed. "Servers" act as WebRTC bootstrapping signals, storage backups, relay/routing, etc., and you can have as many of them as you want (no need to be centralized). True. `gunDB` ta

    w00h00, this is my area of expertise. After 8 years of working on this, I have changed my thoughts: - The correct algorithm is not always the correct user experience. - End-to-end encryption is too important to not have. - Offline support i

    Accusing me (op, not parent) of selling proprietary junk and not even checking makes you the FUDster. Everything we do is Open Source. Get your facts straight. Yes, the NSA really did use backdoor access to servers to spy on millions of peo

    Notice: This is about FEDERATED networks, not P2P. Mastodon, Diaspora, etc. Also, it is not comprehensive: Matrix (9M users), SOLID, D.Tube, etc. not mentioned Examples of P2P: WebTorrent, GUN (11M+ users), SSB, etc.

    All I saw was a robot wielding a vibrating razor blade with an arm and terror strike across my face. Impressive chops, I must say, but the DOD will want to hire you sooner than Uber for Barbers.

    This is a truly incredible article. And even a mind-bending (or optic?) glimpse into the future. Thank you for writing it.
