    ... _what_? i don't think you parsed my comment correctly at all to address the part of your comment that doesn't make my head spin: only very occasionally do i see senior Go devel…

    this is a little too stoic a take with respect to a tool that very unserious people building things for serious but non-technical people use on a daily basis. i think we should str…

    if you've been duped into importing a package which has been broadly deemed as spam (but you're not looped into the public conversation about that fact enough to realize it), would…

    and then there's go, wherein you simply don't import anything outside of the stdlib. a stoic and rather perfect immunity to this nonsense

    i've built tons of very intricate payments systems over the past 10 years and i honestly have no idea how "payments engineer" is even worthy of a distinct job title. it's a thing p…

    grapevine knowledge, but i have been told (and credibly, i think, given how adaptive humans are, and how they adapt for very specific parameters while devaluing others) that many h…

    while important, the fiat currency is a second-order issue, imho. the root is self-serving corruption facilitated by an intricate apparatus based on bureaucratic capture. to even a…

    “just noting” that this has no relevance to a sober and objective review of the points made within. i sometimes think that we’re lucky we still have two sides of the aisle in this …

    I made Redwood, a general purpose p2p/distributed database (and blob store) with pluggable merge algorithms (including some cool CRDTs, like what @josephg is working on). Turns out…

    Oh, hey there, Coventry :) I’d be curious to know the same, as well as to hear a comparison between Algorand and: 1) recent work on aBFT protocols, many of which don’t seem to requ…

    Thought I'd share a project I've been working on over the past year that meets at least a subset of the criteria from the article: https://github.com/brynbellomy/redwood Redwood is…

    A few projects I'm involved with that might be worth sharing here: - Redwood ( https://github.com/brynbellomy/redwood ), a realtime, p2p database. Data is structured in state trees…

    Sure! Nailing down a robust security model is a major goal for Redwood. There are currently a few different mechanisms, some already partially built, and others still in the resear…

    Dying? Hm, not to my knowledge. In fact, I saw a highly-commented thread on HN just a couple of weeks ago about Cap'n Proto. What gives you the sense that it's on its way out?

    Creator of Redwood here, which is similar in many ways to this and GunDB (hi Mark!). Agreed that we need more projects like this. Redwood might be better described as a "p2p applic…

    You should check out the Braid project. We're already working on IETF drafts for a protocol of this nature within the HTTP working group. - https://github.com/braid-work/braid-spec…
