 I still find it incredible there are grants at all for nostr. very non-standard for oss. 

though it’s a shame they’re going to dime a dozen, proof of concept webapps. your work tends to focus on the harder problems and I appreciate that.

best of luck on your journey. 
 I like these. what’s your secret? 
 yes 
 nostr would be better if all notes were immutable.  
 *speaking strictly from a technical standpoint. clients can/should build on top of immutable events to materialize state.

 I have like a solid 8 hours of mandatory training shit to complete before next month. I figure if I keep avoiding it until the last minute I can maximize the pain 😐 
 yup, I’ve let them accumulate. rather impressive, if you ask me.

 I have a bunch of ideas but haven’t felt like touching keyboard lately. just in case you were wondering.

 so the smart card holds the private key and the EAL6 certification provides some assurance that the keys are secure? 
 clients issue an ever growing number of concurrent requests with each new feature 

relays increasingly rate limit concurrent requests

clients swallow the notice and fail in weird ways

 Deno 2.0 is legit. I’ve only converted some of my scripts to it so far, but it’s nice. 
 the code report video made it sound cool. I like that it papers over a lot of the hell that is modern frontend

 developers: disable javascript execution by default in your web browser. start building your website with these constraints. progressively add interactivity if javascript is enabled.  
 does zap.stream store the streamed content for future playback? if yes can you disable that? I’ve tried to find some kind of FAQ a few times about how it works.  
 so it sounds like if you use the basic plan you can stream video and not have it persisted? 

I’m interested in streaming applications but don’t want the stream recorded. (obviously a user could manually record the stream) 
 nostr:npub10000000thpep7auj058803nqtymqlf3rw87lzhe6mkfeywnpxg5sjw7nql did you get my email?

I sent a dm to notify you of the failure.

 the distributed systems I’ve worked on outside of nostr typically offload the large data into an external store and plug a reference id into the event. the downstream consumers either find the data embedded in the event or an id to resolve it externally.
