I did miss this section in my skim, but it's also the first place I went as well. It doesn't seem like you could ever be sure that no old messages would be sent with an earlier timestamp if you don't know the set of nodes tha

Ok, having read through the core of the algorithm, cool! Seems like the main key here is that move operations have timestamps associated with them, and this allows you to effectively linearize the operations (and ignore ones that result in

Super cool. Martin Kleppmann, the lead author on this paper, is the author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, which I haven't read but have heard pretty awesome things about. What I have done: watched his other talks about CRDTs

Doesn't this feel like a self-fulfilling prophecy? It's like saying "if things are going bad, then just try and extract value." But if extracting value makes things go bad, then it pretty much leads to a death spiral. I

Interesting post! We use a monorepo at Mito [1], it’s open source if you want to check it out [2]. We solved the test flakiness issue by getting rid of all of our frontend tests, which means we spend more time manually testing our product.

Woah. This paper looks freaking awesome - and surprising! “The proposed scheme can tolerate any num- ber of Byzantine nodes (making it immune to Sybil attacks)” - this is really intriguing because of the strong impossibility results in cons

They've been publicizing this migration for at least a few years - I think I migrated my migration after a communication in 2020). Not sure what the actual implications are for who controls my data, but I can say: as a very casual Mine

I’m wondering :-) FYI, I can’t scroll on mobile on this website. I’m on an iphone. Looking forward to checking it out if you get scroll fixed!

If your willing to limit dynamic program behavior, then you get decidability pretty easily. As a really stupid, simple example, consider a programming language where you were allowed at most 5 lines of code, where each can perform operation

Very excited to watch. If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend checking out Andreas YouTube channel [1]. It's the most interesting programming content I've ever watched - and I feel like he's honestly taught

Totally agree with this comment. This sort of "no-lock-in" thinking is exactly what inspired Mito [1] (I'm a co-founder, FYI). Mito is low-code data analysis tool inspired by spreadsheets. When you edit the spreadsheet, Mito

Cool paper - thanks for posting! I love the typesetting of the math in these old papers - I have no idea how it was done, but it's ~good vibes~ for me. If you're interested in reading a more recent take on notation, check out this

I spent a while working on a generalized version control system when I graduated two years ago. It was called Saga [1]. Saga - get it? The name was the best bit. It allowed you to specify a “file representation format,” and then used some m

Super cool. This is the opposite angle from the approach we’re taking at Mito [1]. Instead of extending Excel to support more advanced functionality, we’re extending Python environments to support more basic spreadsheet functionality. So: b

Does this work on FF? I tried to check out some samples and couldn't see anything. Works on chrome, but ran long enough that I bounced. Not sure I'm the target customer, though, so NBD there. Cool stuff, thanks for posting!

Highly recommend the other videos my this channel. Very interesting and wildly detailed presentations of different small-scale framing experiments!

I love this approach and think you're totally right: > Err towards action over picking the perfect project. Lots of really cool ideas here. Thanks for posting all of them - I really appreciate it :)

Very cool! I really appreciate this list. I'm currently evaluating what spreadsheet functions to add to my spreadsheet product [1], and I'm gonna add these to the roadmap. We currently support the functions listed here [2] - and a

Fantastic blog post. I highly recommend reading it in full, and also checking out the work of the European Spreadsheet Risks Group, and Felienne Hermans specifically (referenced in the original post). I've been working on a spreadsheet

I'm a bit confused by the first paragraph. Are you saying that public good funding problems don't exist (or are solved b/c they are either funded by the government or aren't worth funding)? If so, I strongly disagree. Th

Yeah I think this is the real point of a nursing home often times: making sure you can get medical care as you age.

The benefits this data structure can give you sound kinda cool, even if I've got pretty much no idea how this data structure works based on the blog post. I've seen issues with fast set membership checks before that result from &q

This was actually hilarious, and honestly better than half the screens I've designed :-)
