Re:Faster CRDTs: An Adventure in Optimization on Saturday July 31, 2021 @08:28AM (#28017505)
That’s an impressive optimisation! Out of curiosity, what do you think are the most interesting or useful possible applications for an optimised CRDT?

When you’re approaching an optimisation like this, do you mind me asking how you think about it and approach it?

First paragraph - absolutely.

Second paragraph is half based on commonly-held misconceptions that are partially the result of early colonial propaganda: indigenous Australians did indeed have strong traditions of land occupation and diplomacy and knew exactly which land “belonged” to which tribe. They farmed extensively (research Wollombi as an example - yams from horizon to horizon according to white explorers recorded notes).

Of course, all nations are based upon the power to take or prevent what you have from being taken, and in that regard it’s no different from anywhere else in the world.

Keystone is great for quickly bootstrapping a NodeJS project. It makes it super-easy to get cracking, and I particularly like its nice generated data admin UI, field types, DB update framework and relationships for MongoDB. Still quite a few rough edges, but it already does a lot and the community is very active.
