My current project can expose a sqlite database over torrent wrapped by the Chrome cache filesystem. The torrent is merkle-tree based, and for each change in the SQLite memory page it also updates the merkle tree giving you a different tor

I also have a project to explore this alternative way of peers communication but i have a different answer to this, and i think its better if its a network of peers that expose API's https://github.com/mumba-org/m

Looking again at it, its quite bigger now. I wonder how it compares to Boost and now also Abseil? (features and performance-wise)

Not the op but, giving this rely in whatever is on the host OS, the DLL's on the host OS will evolve changing its interface or even not ship anymore while with applications that rely the bare minimum like electron this is not a issue.

i've forked chrome to create something like this (meant for native apps in a multi-process environment) and can confirm. The multi-process architecture and the chrome platform is already a overkill just for a browser (in my opinion), i

It depends of how this will be laid out. If the future generations choose for a more homogeneous sort of intelligence it might trigger the opposite effect, as humanity might loose a sort of balance the natural world struggled to achieve. Bu

I agree with you that one language will take the productivity you've gained in a later stage, but we would need to subtract the time fixing those bugs, as compared to the time spent on code to avoid them in both languages (one before a

I think a lot of us with experience in "system languages" would acknowledge where Rust fits in. But there are a lot of people in IT with experience in other fields that gets on into the marketing sales pitch that is trendy since t

This is cool. I'm also working on a decentralized distribution mechanism based on torrents, and while i've being working on a different architecture, the network mechanism are basically the same with a couple of differences on the

from the look of it, you will need to have the handshake resolver installed and replaced as your local dns resolver. With that it will return you a the public key address on the bittorrent DHT which can be solved by some torrent client. The

Of course, if you want a very efficient application, you are completely right. But the thing is that with Swift you can get a Java like performance (which is pretty good) out-of-the-box even while paying the ref-counting penalty, without th

Its in the Java, C# family of languages, where you can do pretty powerful things without the complexity of the likes of C++ and (now Rust) with a very good performance. And when you take the family Swift is in, (now also with Kotlin), i con

I'm not sure what the real problem is, but we live in a economical system that have a tendency to hijack governance of things that are important to 'them' (whoever the contextual them are) and re-purpose it's goals and d

Is this the same one that is in use by Chrome? Any plans to create more sandboxes like this for other platforms like Windows and Mac?

Also apparently is Javascript only, which are the most well served community in terms of recognition, funding and (comparatively) less complex and smaller codebases. I wonder how a underfunded and complex crypto library, emulator or VM feel

Sovereign states are anemic by now and i'm skeptical that they would want to fight where the money and (real) power is, and if they grow some balls, or stop being so corrupt, even than, i'm skeptical that they will manage to win t

I think Rust kind of aged C. It happens when some new band push the needle for a genre, its only when this happens that the "modern" stuff start to look old. C is getting deprecated while C++ will need to catch up somehow (if ther

I pity companies that will follow this hype train and rewrite perfectly working software to achieve nothing in the end, from a pragmatic point of view. You can do an essay for every other vector of software development and claim how a rewri

I'm finishing a browser based application platform where the applications installed expose a RPC api, so in the end all applications can call others in the same local(or remote) node/s. The beauty of this is that you also can comp

You must remember that each Electron instance will have its own gpu and browser process. If you do just like Chrome, one host process + one gpu process and all the rest are renderer process as it was meant to, you will use less memory. Im w

My problem with all this, is that they don't get it where this is taking us all. Big Tech have a tremendous power all over the world. Lack of regulation and civil rights enforcement is taking us into a era o digital feudalism.. So its

The minute you buy something, what you do with it has to do with your rights and not the rights of the company that created that thing. I don't get it this line of argumentation. Imagine someone was kidnapped against their will, and on

It would be no problem if Apple were just doing their best to deliver the best experience to their users as you are implying they are doing here. The problem here is that they are deliberately crippling and limiting what the hardware can do
