Modern BitTorrent can function entirely via DHT and peer exchange. Trackers are supplementary and an optimization. Most torrents you find specify several trackers, and it's fine if some are down. I have a hard time imagining improve

I don't really buy the argument that additional serialization logic adds bloat to the application when you compare it to the many thousands of lines of code in modern JS frameworks for manipulating DOM elements. The consistency is real

I wish there was some language-agnostic tool for defining byte-oriented data strucrures that could emit code to manipulate them in different languages. Protobuf and similar tools exist but they still have their own weirdnesses and aren&#x2

But just because it's a webapp doesn't mean you have to use JSON for everything, it's the other way around, using JSON for everything means that the only place the data model feels natural is the web. Which is strange because

I really wonder why is it so common for people to default to JSON even when designing complex cryptographic protocols like this. I was skimming the spec for the script interpreter, which is something you'd expect would be focused on c

But how could something like a carbon ration possibly be implemented? They'd have to retrofit every PoS system in the nation to classify sales and tag payments with that information. This would already be possible using the existing

Why would they want to do that? How would either your employer or the fed have the grounds to justify doing that?

The FedNow project was in the works long before any serious CBDC idea was conceptualized.

I simply refuse to use websites if they require Chrome. I find some other way to do whatever it is I'm trying.

I can't speak for the previous commenter but it does seem there is a different character to the research work happening at FAANG-scale companies (which is still generally in service of their corporate strategy) vs the work that happene

What do you mean by this? There's over a million active users including quite a few high profile people like Cory Doctorow.

Truth Social is just a fork of Mastodon and is a terminal grift on followers of that particular political personality. Hive was a school project by 2 people that managed to secure funding without a real strategy and afaik hasn't reall

Rust's error handling and option types actually aren't monads, they just have similar ergonomics for end users. There's some tricks that have to be done to make them work in a eager evaluation context, and as a result implem
