A replicated SQLite is very cool! One question I would have is why expose that as the storage instead of the platform providing a managed storage API? I guess I might be concerned about replication lag and complexity for consumers with the

I think that trust needs to be 'pushed deeper' than that so to speak. While this would be an improvement, what happens if there is a malicious actor at Github? This may be unlikely, but would be even harder to detect since so much

What does MSW stand for here? Maybe "Mock Service Worker" https://mswjs.io/ ?

I love dan luu's blog posts. Great examples of principled thinking. Much of their writing on (computer) performance has pushed my own thinking and expectations.

Not just delivery, but also security. Browsers offer a level of isolation and safety that you generally don't get with native desktop apps. Things like iOS do bridge the gap a bit more though

> make the browser a full blown VM and just write normal programs that run in it This is actually happening, albeit slowly, with recent efforts around WASM etc. If you want a fun hypothetical of where this all goes, check out the talk &q

I understand what you are saying here in terms of the difference between using wall-clock or causal ordering to determine who 'wins' for LWW. However, both of these strategies seem convergent to me? In any case, all clients will a

FWIW I'm not sure analogies between intellectual property and actual property really work, since they are pretty fundamentally different if you compare the specifics.

I actually talked to the drifting in space team about our experience implementing multiplayer. Really cool to see their findings! Our team ended up having a similar take away, we wrote a blog post detailing our approach and experience here:

I really like how well this bookends with https://hex.tech/blog/long-live-code ! (Disclaimer, I work at Hex but wish more tools would embrace ejecting to code in the same way)

I'm also pretty cynical of most JS rebuild/reinvention projects. I'm very tentatively excited by this one _because_ it looks like all it does is incrementally improve. Having something that is a drop-in API compat replacement

That's assuming that these people only contribute to PostgreSQL. I'm betting most of the folks listed here make major contributions on other projects or at work. Your comment feels like a bit of unfair judgement, particularly sinc

I really love how reactivity is being utilized across the stack. It's been pretty big on the frontend for a while now (React, etc), but I think data is another space it can really shine.

If you publish the code anywhere, potentially. You could be (unknowingly) violating the original license if the code was copied verbatim from another source. How much of a concern this is depends heavily on what the original source was.

Doesn’t fufill your wish for no-sign up link yet, but https://hex.tech supports live collaboration for python notebooks. I think as time goes on, live collaboration is becoming “table stakes” for a lot of tools.

I think they were referring to the historical value of the bond itself makes it worth far more than its strict monetary value over time. So even if its 'worth' 30-50 times more when you do the math, a collector maybe be willing to

In my experience bigger companies seem possibly _more_ prone to a DIY approach than scrappy startup. Especially if there is a 'not built here' mentality.
