    Interested in your choice of Raft. How well does that work when you have heterogeneous machines with varying degrees of latency to each other?

    Nostr is not blockchain. It's a p2p protocol.

    Perhaps you can get hired by a company to do that. You can't compare yourself as an individual with a company with a large budget.

    My bad. The only point I was trying to make is that there’s no left vs right conclusions that you can draw from this.

    We’re talking about erosion of privacy and draconian internet surveillance. Brexit was a major screw up and I’m not here to defend any side, just to dispel this illusion that someh…

    The whole left vs right is a useless caricature. And it’s especially meaningless when comparing ideologies across country borders. Better talk in terms of policies.

    Can you give an example of what happened in UK that points to this issue?

    The first wave will be to mandate ID verification for online services. Some people will then start using p2p services, so the next step is to ban devices that can run non-approved …

    Indeed, it’s also crazy to think that some people vaporize tin pellets in order to etch nanometer scale drawings on silicon crystals while others make mud pies. I think that dispar…

    If you have used WASI in the past, can you mention your use case? Very curious if you found it to give you an edge compared to other sandboxing like containers or VMs.

    Sure, I do it, and many others. Some people say it's hard, but I think it's much easier than it used to be, technically. You have projects like https://stalw.art which make it quit…

    Yeah, but you get to choose who gets to rip off your data. Joking aside, perhaps there would be some privacy focused alternatives and most importantly for Europeans, they would be …

    It’s very risky to make these kind of claims. If the denominator (USD) gets obliterated they might very well be worth $1T. It’s all about liquidity and central banks have a whole b…

    What are you talking about? The Mac platform is so much more friendly for doing Linux related work. First of all it’s Unix so most tooling has MacOS variants, and secondly you have…
