Compiling Datalog to SQL with Logica is possibly the easiest path if you need a production ready open source Datalog setup (i.e. choose your favourite managed Postgres provider): https://logica.dev/

Arweave has a compelling design for long-term public archival along these lines, with an explicit concept of 'endowment' to predictably cover the costs of future storage.

There has been research on the intersection of IoT and PQ signatures specifically at least, e.g. see "Short hash-based signatures for wireless sensor networks" [0] [1]. Unlike SPHINCS+ which is mentioned in the article, if you&#x2

Beacon is more PaaS than SaaS from what I've seen, but it's all very neatly integrated and they even wrote their own compute scheduling engine. The data model is interesting: https://www.beacon.io/wp-content/u

The joy of Flash was the ease of scripting alongside vector-based illustration with keyframe animations and audio (plus intuitive asset management, onion skinning etc. etc.). Flash was downright fun indeed!

Slightly off-topic but CedarDB is extremely exciting. It's the commercialization of the widely cited Umbra research DBMS [0] that has been in the works for several years, which benchmarks faster than DuckDB for OLAP [1] whilst simultan
