that was my assumption but it's been suggested a few times to implement it there. Nice to hear some validation that that isn't a great spot.

Very cool. I've been working on CRDTs for SQLite to allow for conflict-free replication. Its still super early but I have a prototype that works and, if you're up to it, I would love to pick your brain on the details of sqlite WAL

Anything couched in religious language immediately turns people off even if what is being said perfectly aligns with the reader’s beliefs. Philosophize this has some good discussions about religious vocabulary when discussing Kierkegaard.

https://riffle.systems/essays/prelude/ is another similar idea. I'm hoping to be able to collaborate with them but am waiting till I have something a bit more mature before reaching out.

Oh wow, author here, glad there's some interest in this! Didn't mean for people to find out about it yet. I'll have an end to end demo out in the next week or two!

I like that people seem to be re-discovering Martin Fowler and the decades of thought that have already been put into the application development space. Originally coming from a Java rich client world and moving into JS in ~2013, it always

If social networks worked like TV and there were only a few popular channels / pieces of content, sure. But algorithmic feeds are endlessly unique and composing them is vastly more difficult than doing chronological order.

I'm a huge fan of GraphQL but since leaving Meta and exploring what's going on with GraphQL in the wild, its a bit scary/risky how people are adopting it. Background -- I worked on integrity & security at Meta and little

I'd imagine that wealthy individuals are highly leveraged. In other words, rather than selling assets to buy things they take loans against those assets to buy things. This (1) prevents ever having to pay tax (2) gives them benefits fr

Pure Proof of Stake is interesting in that the "stakers" are literally every single person in the economy -- mitigating much of this problem of the "pool" of stakers deciding that they don't agree with one another.

Of course a blockchain record has no authority under the current legal system. Authoritative in terms of how easily one vs the other is to forge. Property deeds are more easily forged than a record on the blockchain. https://www.

exactly this. Blockchain is more authoritative than random pieces of paper (deeds) declaring ownership.

Except real estate. Someone can already come with a made up deed and say they own your house. Blockchain would make this much more secure than it is today.

The print statement is persisted in your code so you can easily see where you've been with `hg/git diff`. Using a debugger I find myself repeating the same steps over and over again that I would have done/written once via pri

Please please please don't perpetuate the use of either or maybe types :( They make software very hard to maintain and end up breaking anyone who depends on a library that uses them. Rich Hickey (author of Clojure) has a great discussi

I hate all of these rants on questions of style. The only problem of style is when there are mixed styles within the same codebase. But on that note, every code base should have aggressive linters and auto-formatters that force everyone to

also, it is pretty amazing what you can do without a framework and how simple your code can be if you code in an "interface as a function of state" style. example: https://github.com/tantaman/fk-your-framework
