The alternative is not have that one choke point that can be hammered. Decentralize.

It wasn’t really that we wanted to have a CRDT per se, but as it was implemented on top of an op-based append-only log CRDT, it turned out to hold those properties, which makes it a CRDT. We wanted to have the edits to be able to arrive in

Agreed, the undoing and replying isn’t exactly non-fancy. Peristent B+Tree is also not very non-fancy.

Cool to see a write up on this! Discovered the same method years ago and also wondered why it doesn’t show up in academic literature. I implemented this in a decentralized context and as a CRDT though, so that the properties hold (commutati

Not if 1 million people install and monitor them instead of 100 people.

There’s also OrbitDB https://github.com/orbitdb/orbitdb which to my understanding has been a pioneer for p2p logs, databases and CRDTs.

Number two is calling for nukes, anywhere by anybody. Nobody else brings that to the conversation.

My non-techie brother has been staking his 1 ETH he bought couple of years ago and has earned today, in his words, “slightly more than from my insurance savings account in the past 10 years”. I think that’s a really nice use case.

One way to do authorization is to sign each operation/message and then verify the signature to match a public key in an access control list. This also enables CRDTs to work in a peer to peer context. But as aboodman says in a sibling c

Great analogy! Well done.

Are you or your people being, or have been, slaughtered by a fascist, barbaric military? If yes, I’m sorry and I understand your position. If not, gtfo.

Maybe? Depends on the rest of the software you’d be developing and what features and abstractions you’d need. The point was that “just use redis” is a poor and incorrect advice.

by hem777 3y ago
Can you run Redis in browser? You can’t. Is an in-process, in-memory database faster than making a query over network? Yes it is.

Accessing a “home computer” behind a NAT you don’t control or has a dynamic IP, eg. computers/devices that only have mobile connection and many (most?) broadband home connections.

We don’t assume “reliable delivery” in AP or eventually consistent systems. We assume “once all messages have been delivered…” So if you have all messages and the two properties above, a total order can be derived. You’re correct to say tha

I think this is true if the system is global or there’s model where Sybil resistance is “here everyone, have an access to write to the database”. In a system like HN there’s value in Sybil resistance. On your Twitter feed, almost none. So I

These are fantastic observations and I hope I’ll have time to get back to them in detail. I can’t say there’s a simple solution to all of these, today, but my intuition and optimism says there’s a solution for all of these :)

Most of us are not established public figures and many of us, I’m sure, want to keep it that way. With keys, validation can happen in several ways: attestation by reputable orgs, reputation systems, off-band, 2FA, “Hi, I’m John”, etc etc. D

Another possibility is to assume the user is the authority and is always right. For example, if I post a tweet to my feed, I’m (or should be) the authority and always right.
