The linked writeup is a little light on content, but the dweb summit went well. There's interest growing in the space. Broadly speaking, the projects are solving either monetization, privacy, or publishing. So, when someone says, &quot

The Beaker browser https://beakerbrowser.com/ It uses a P2P protocol called Dat, which is similar to BitTorrent but supports changes to the data and realtime streaming https://www.datprotocol.com/ It's

It's not incorrect to say that hashes and signatures add some overhead, but the question is whether the overhead is significant enough to matter for the usecase. Probably not. Dat is realtime. You are notified about updates as soon as

That's the case on HN. Example.com doesnt have CSPs setup so it's CORS that causes the issue.

Yeah that's an interesting perspective. There are a lot of security issues that come into play when we start toying with how the Web platform works, and I'm somewhat curious whether all Websites should have a sort of "uninsta

My site has the Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* header set. Try the same thing on the Beaker site in the devtools for https://example.com . fetch('https://beakerbrowser.com/dat.json') .then(resp

I'd be happy to be corrected on this, but here's what I understand: While fetch doesn't preflight for GET, it does require an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. You can specify `no-cors` in the mode to circumvent this, but t

I don’t hold this binary view that a “decentralized Web” has to avoid certain technologies. I believe we should aim to use peer-to-peer systems where it’s impactful and practical, and in the rare case you do need a third-party server, there

Beaker doesn't act as a server, it uses Dat, which is very similar to SSB and IPFS. https://datprotocol.com Responding to GP, you probably mean https://github.com/cabal-club/ , which is a WIP and relies

If you have the runway, take a 2 week staycation before launching. There's a good chance you've been burning hard for a while. You may just need a break.

That mostly makes sense so I apologize if this is pedantic, but: Is it not possible for a set to have logically infinite sets in Bloom? For instance, "the set of all integers" ? If so, how does it determine the limits of set sizes

> As it turns out, the semantics are such that these loops are always guaranteed to terminate. Does this mean it's not possible to specify something like B1 = C1 + 1 C1 = B1 + 1 ?

The spec for using DNS is in the process of being written up. Beaker is already using the .well-known part of the spec. See https://github.com/pfrazee/DEPs/blob/e391a04d9a96ddaf3e5a6fd...

Dats aren't static. They're public key addressed, so you can make changes. The next protocol iteration will have support for multiple writers using CRDTs (sometime this summer).

Not wholly on topic, but for some added depth to that "love or fear" dynamic, I suggest reading Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws." He analyzes different forms of government (democracy, aristocracy, monarchy, an

I grew up in Abilene. I figure west is "out" because it gets sparser and dustier. Abilene is 3 hours from everything. I hadn't heard the east is "over" thing but I guess it makes sense.

Yeah this is pretty great. AFAIK it's limited to only redirecting to a handler website, but that's a big step forward for using these protocols in links and etc. We're still hoping to get full protocol-handling with an API si
