it's not just overly complex, the use of 'dependent types' for this indicates that the author doesn't understand how they are really useful. neither he seems to know what serialization is, he apparently wants to serializ

it's ridiculous, pseudo-mathematical, and a severe case of NIH syndrome :-) Peano numbers for data definition language? are you serious?

make sure to check out their structure definition language: http://core.telegram.org/mtproto/TL-dependent look like a great parody to me? can't tell if they are serious with these 'dependent types'

KGB is much better than NSA: they simply don't have money for data processing on that scale. Yandex Mail is a great competitor to gmail, some things even work better -- you've got a separate list of thread's attachments, abil

most of the siberia is below arctic circle. where i'm from we've got a lot of soil, but not enough heat to have good agriculture. what kind of the confusion would lead you to suggesting permafrost occupies most of the siberia and north amer
