You might be thinking of this [1] paper? The core idea being if your problem space lends itself to monotonicity (see the paper for a more precise definition than I can give), then you can build a globally consistent database (around a CRDT)

Is this the same as LSeq [1] except rather than using bytes one is basically using digits in a floating point representation (given this is JS where most things are floats)? [1] https://bartoszsypytkowski.com/operation-based

What is the state of the art here in terms of reliable data persistence? Last I was seriously looking at the PWA route, I understood that they were best suited for apps with always-online access because anything stored locally could be more

The asterisk here is that they teach social media / libel / defamation law. At this point I know tenant law as well as one can, but yelling about them by name on the internet would likely play into their hand.

I don’t think this is just violent crime. I am currently suing a former landlord in NYC — a lecturer at Columbia Law school no less! — for illegally withholding our security deposit in an open and shut case. We’ve been “awaiting a court dat

To be fair, my "misbehaving corporate firewall" is actually my apartment that has building-managed internet wherein everyone is NAT'ed to the same fiber connection. For whatever reason, SYN flooding detection triggers when yo

Tailscale is my favorite (product) discovery of 2022. I initially set it up to use as a VPN to get around a misbehaving corporate firewall and accidentally realized it solved a whole bunch of other problems I didn't realize I had. Usua

Your rtl-sdr is _sampling_ at a mere ~3Mhz. Much like a VNA, your rtl-sdr is down-converting from (say) 1.2Mhz to somewhere around DC. This is limited not by your sample rate but by the oscillator your rtl-sdr is mixing into your received s

You don't need to sample at the Nyquist rate (i.e. 2x the intended measured frequency) to detect the presence of a particular signal but instead can just measure the overall power within a narrow frequency band of interest. Practically

I would guess construction costs for this home would be around $2MM including labor, materials and management overhead, but excluding land. Source: am finishing up a home at a similar finish-level at a similar size, although not quite as fa

I worked in Beijing at Microsoft Research in 2008 and at the time they had a fiber link to Japan that was completely uncensored and the fastest internet I had ever used at the time. Perhaps this is no longer allowed but it certainly used t

We're flapping pretty hard in us-east-2 (looks API Gateway related, which is probably because it's an edge deployment which has a bunch of us-east-1 dependencies).

Thanks! This is a subtle but helpful distinction (and also clarifies why ETH2 is designed the way it is).

From a recent conversation with a (soon to be) lawyer [as I understand it] software typically uses what's called a "shrink wrap contract" [1] wherein the _usage_ of the product implicitly accepts a license. As far as I can te

Totally agree, I've been doing a ton of DSLs using Typescript's (super) expressive type system and am holding myself back from writing a full on HDL that compiles down to FIRRTL.

In addition to the (likely) obvious benefit of Python versus a traditional HDL that hacks in really janky scripting features for testbenches (read Verilog), one of the main draws for nMigen is that you can combine things like Jupyter notebo
