Hey Mizza, wow that issue is a throwback. I think I stand by my position. My concerns are still the same, and I don’t think your proposal would’ve changed the outcome for Beaker. I always felt the purpose of the project was to enable more o

In case folks are curious: A stable release of Bluesky/ATProto's reference server, client, and dev tooling should land early next year. There's an active matrix channel if you want to follow closely at https://matr

The ribbon interface suffers from poor scan-ability. The problem is actually a common one with MS products since they introduced Metro: they use too much vertical space with irregular layouts. Your eyes just scan more quickly if there’s reg

The problem isn't the amount of money either. It's that their product is bad. I havent tried the recent Quest Pro but based on reviews I assume it's pretty good. Not great, not sexy, but pretty good. Their flagship applicatio

Sure, appreciate the conversation. Also, love that comic. Very fair concern. We’ll keep communicating what’s going on there and see what happens.

Grant us a little leeway: it all takes time. The DID PLC registry is a placeholder because what we actually want is akin to a ICAN-style governance over it. When we talk about a “permissioned consortium” we mean as opposed to a “permissionl

Youre right. I don’t think the bar is avoiding a toxic free-for-all, as people fear with decentralization, because that suggests we’re only attempting to be “as good” as Twitter is now. We need to be trying to be better. If we’re not then t

We use DIDs for identity but presently no blockchain DID methods. Some people ask us for that, eg did:ethr or did:ion. Unsure it’ll happen (I’m skeptical) but that’s what Jay was talking about.

Something that isn’t clear to folks is that Jack is on the board and advises us, but Bluesky’s founder and team are pulled from the dweb community.

We don’t use email-style IDs; we use domain names (@alice.com) which will often be subdomains (@alice.host.com). The auth schemes will evolve. That technique is meant for your main app.

I was once at a distributed systems meetup where a member of the audience interrupted the talk to give an extemporaneous presentation on why we should all be using Haskell. FP advocates have a reputation for being zealous and pretentious. T

VCs are typically used in conjunction with DIDs. Do they say anywhere whether they’re using DIDs and, if so, which methods?

In our defense, we didn't write this article, have clearly said we're not a blockchain, and can't seem to get people NOT to describe us as a blockchain ( https://twitter.com/arcalinea/status/158322901

Domain-ownership is why we're including did:web as an option. That's the fully self-sufficient model. The did:plc method is a way to give people a solution if they don't own the domain.

I feel a bit bad about that. I'm 36 and I'm the oldest on the team, but Usenet was before me (which seems to be why it's widely known? though I see it's more than that). Googling brought up the Hayes commands but we ha

We're open to that possibility. We know the broad idea we want to apply with schema extensions, but we're still figuring out the right DX on the execution.

Basically -- to keep it simple. Holding the signing key in the PDS simplifies linearization and reduces device-pairing actions. We spent most of the summer planning to store the signing key in the user device(s) but during a late design ses

The root gets updated with each update, and the diff gets exchanged as part of the sync protocol. Deleting and purging is no different than other federated protocols in that regard.

This is mostly accurate from what I've seen, but if you were willing to go as far out from the Austin city center as Houston's natural sprawl goes, you would probably get comparable home prices.

So it goes. RMS represents his time: a great observation of the vital importance of software in the interplay of freedom and authority. I’m of the mind that nothing should be respected beyond its meaning, and so if RMS is no longer a great

I pursued this idea pretty aggressively for a while. What I found is that it was a wonderful fit for small projects, and then became a real drag as the scale/complexity grew, which led me to start thinking in terms of a budget-matching
