    The next sentence says "The test subject is able to flip between the two distortions, and has the original image available on the side for comparison at all times.", which indicate…

    The swedish government has no censorship powers.

    The thing is, usually those foot holds are holding most of the weight - a chip for the foot is worth a jug in the hand :)

    Of course you're right, but it doesn't mean anything. It's like saying that you should buy people lottery tickets instead of healthcare. I once heard that the US citizens most vehe…

    Because in the US of A it is so very easy.

    Yeah, this is a chicken and egg problem. The US causes terrorism by steam rolling third world countries, but more or less has to do it now since these third world countries already…

    So now you leave the realm of economical possibilities and start pointing at political problems. Isn't that a little too simple? "No, we can't do that because we don't want to."

    This, yes.

    I'm from Sweden, and we have the same policies but basically no natural resources that are worth anything anymore. Unlike the US of A. It's not about oil, it's about realizing that…

    If you encode each packet in a QUIC stream with it's own stream ID, and close QUIC streams after a timeout, you can use QUIC for unreliable unordered transports as well.

    I guess it's not for you, then.

    If you run out of RAM or CPU on a single machine you start running into operationally problematic situations with Redis.

    I don't think I understand what you mean. Or you don't understand how my timestamps and time synchronization works?

    The synchronization uses Merkle trees, and they require ordered data since they hash contiguous data into a tree of hashes. And to avoid having a separate structure for the Merkle …

    Hard to know. It seems to perform comparably, anyway, at single node level. I have yet to find a bunch of equally powerful machines to perform a proper scalability benchmark :/

    Yes, it isn't documented (for some reason, I must have forgot) but https://github.com/zond/god/blob/master/dhash/dhash.go#L109 shows how the empty string as persistence directory w…

    Yes, look at https://github.com/zond/commendable which is a real life project I am basing on god (as an exercise, showcase and test run).

    Comment #5175408

    I would have preferred other algorithms, but there was a strict need for 1) sorted data and 2) that 2 identical trees had the same structure (for the merkle element). Not many stru…
