From Eigenmorality ( https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1820 ): “I was also impressed by a similar research project called PageRank, which was proposed later by two guys at Stanford named Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

This has nothing to do with "good" or "usable" fonts. Whether digits align is controlled with the pnum and tnum OpenType features.

This has nothing to do with the synchronization service being peer-to-peer or not.

You are replying to a claim I did not make, that OOXML was not based on Microsoft Office XML or that the XML formats were made more complex than the binary formats.

by rvern 9y ago
You are mistaken. The tricks they used to get OOXML standardized[1] leave no room for doubt that they have been intentionally making interoperability harder. [1]: Wikipedia has an article about that: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

There would be nothing stopping users from hosting their own homeserver, but there would be something preventing them from communicating with all the users still on matrix.org. And all the users still on matrix.org would stay there because

That's true, except for the fact that Matrix and XMPP are also distributed. What I really meant is that it uses a DHT for peer discovery and that the peers communicate directly, without using any central server. It is more distribute

Unlike so many communication platforms created in this day and age, Ring provides something more than reinventing the wheel and following the latest trends. It is peer-to-peer, which XMPP and Matrix aren't. This is a step forward. Edit

It's really bad news when it's GitHub, as far as I'm concerned (Python...). Self-hosted GitLab or Phabricator is great news (GNOME,[1] Wikimedia[2]). [1]: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/DevelopmentInf
