If you are into autonomous sailboats, robotics, rust, or combinations thereof, let me know :)
Ad-hoc data formats like JSON and XML are too insecure for the modern world, so I'm developing a new format to remedy this [1]. It's a twin format, one binary and one text, so that you can input / edit the data in text, and then it passes from machine to machine in binary only (or convert back to text if a human needs to inspect it). The binary format is designed for simplicity and speed, and the text format is desig…
I vote for making this a monthly post or at least biannual!

Maybe we should talk! I'm working on a language with first class capabilities. Here's an example from the main function of the self hosting Firefly compiler [1]: main(system: System): Unit { ... let fs = system.files() if(fs.exists(tempPath)) { deleteDirectory(fs, tempPath) } ... } deleteDirectory(fs: FileSystem, outputFile: String): Unit { fs.list(outputFile).each { file => if(fs.isDirectory(file)) { deleteDirectory…
How would you pass the capability off to an external program? I'm hopeful that if the user could us a powerbox outside of a programs control to select the token/capability/file handle to pass to a program, then the system would be immune to the problems of ambient authority.
Firefly currently only uses capabilities for security within a single program, which I think is also a big issue in software development today, the Log4j fiasco being a recent example.
Hey everyone, I'm about to start a gig advising on tech policy in DC for 1yr but during that would like to start ideating on a potential startup with someone with plans to launch early 2023! I'm not an engineer but have done a little product but my core focus is usually on growth/bd and navigating regulated areas. I have a few ideas (listed below) but am open to ideating with folks openly and seeing where interests a…

I'm not exactly sure why, but your website gives off a very "scammy" vibe, even tough your discuss other scams on it, and since you're seemingly here in earnest, seems valid. Maybe it's something about the color theme of the site (dark text on dark background, strange choices of colors etc) or the weird element structure, low quality photos. Not entirely sure why. Some things do read a bit weird on the website, but m…

i'm in for rust or elixir projects. i'm also into any functional programming language. i'm a physicist in case that's useful.
I am interested in collaborating on a project to make building local first software a simple reality for developers along the “seven ideals” that Martin Kleppmann lays out (see https://martin.kleppmann.com/papers/local-first.pdf ). There has been a number of attempts in this space, but none with a simple developer experience, and I’d like to experiment around fixing that. If anyone is already is already working in th…
