Trailbase is the same concept, but written in Rust instead of Go.

Does anyone have any good resources on A2A in general?

I can't imagine the scrutiny you must face when your product becomes so mainstream that researchers literally work on identifying security vulnerabilities.

Agents in C# seem much better than in Python or Typescript, wish we could see more frameworkers take that route.

Was confusing Pipedrive and Pipedream for a moment. Suprised how many Zapier-alternatives apparently exist and have business.

So no more cookie banners taking up half the screen of every website I load?! Great!

I've never understood why people say Feather file format isn't meant for "long-term" storage and prefer Parquet for that. Access is much faster from Feather, compression better with Parquet but Feather is really good.

Vortex and Lance both seem really cool but will have to infiltrate either the Delta or Iceberg specs to become mainstream.

The old Outlook was way better. Every user in our org has been complaining about this.

Hard to follow along; is there a TLDR from someone actively following the case of key things not disclosed before this point? Also didn’t realise people and especially HN read legal documents like this in their free time?

Also weary of the non open source features.

Also wish there was more information available about Northguard.

Being “startup” just means you’re a business building something new or novel, it doesn’t mean you automatically have to follow the VC-model for startups.

I know actually that LibreOffice specifically has lamented xlsx, apparently it’s a hard file format to design for.
