my question is: can I bypass one of these blockades by just clicking to post a normal event many times on an unaware client until the randomness from the timestamp gives me enough pow?

ahahah wow, I didn't know

got it, indeed this makes sense. but I have the impression that this approach, although sane in the beginning, tends to derail in projects that last more than an year or have more than 3 programmers.

it is called "UX"

I didn't try to look, I don't want to be fired

have you thought about doing a custom UI with a custom event kind that allows people to open a webpage, see offers from others and so on instead of a centralized bot? what are the drawbacks with that approach?

IPTV must be some branch of the IPFS project. Interplanetary Television.

that sounds similar to the ways they have approached me in the past. randomly asking me to translate some stuff for free (which I did) then later some other random person asking me to join a beta-testers group and work for them for free for something I don't remember (which I didn't).

do they do they have any product there or is it just a pile of money that they use to pay some random open-source initiatives?

today inside react's source code:

what! are you alive?

I'm interested, why doesn't it match reality? what does match reality?

in my experience dealing with REST APIs either forces the frontend to accommodate itself to whatever the backend wants to return ("we can't show sub-items in this view because the server only returns the top-level list of items, to see sub-items, click on one of the top-level items") or it adds giant extra complexity and bloat. I hope graphql will fix that.

what are you opinions on token bucket as a rate-limiting strategy?

my research says it makes backend developers happy too, as they don't have to create a million different endpoints, all completely inefficient and returning useless data at unknown costs. they can just implement a few methods to get each kind of data and be done with it, right?

I do like version-less APIs.

I made it up because I think I read somewhere that it had "30k new users". so it must have more than 30k total.

"very large" wasn't specific enough

I don't think so, this was a grab-bag of everything.

IndieWeb is a movement of people who host their own sites on their own servers and domains and are very passionate about it. they love a thing called "webmention" that is just notifying other websites that you have commented about them on your website so they can cross-link stuff. oh, and all is done in HTML, no fancy JSON or anything.

what is the actual complexity you're talking about? having to declare the schema, use libraries? or does it make you write more complex code in general?

graphql is not about graphs in general, it is a replacement for REST APIs
