I wrote some thoughts about margins, potentially moving back to Italy, living on the edge(s), togetherness + a few other delirious epiphanies after spending one week with a group of wonderfully insane and astoundingly bright humans in the middle of the Appennine Mountains.

Here is to Dwelling in the Margins

On-Line Stochastic Processes in Data Compression

i don't personally care so much about online compression, but........

• this seems like actually seeks to codify the ziv-lempel approach (in ways they didn't) and compare string-based with stochastic inference in a meaningful way
• i still don't fully understand arithmetic coding
• there might be reasons to employ online compression for particular types of data through in-memory or persistent coherency

plus this seems smart:

Meanwhile, the most conclusive asymptotic results use an information-theoretic metric to dynamically select a model from a set of competing
models, and then use that selected model to estimate the currently scanned symbol's
probability.

v0.6.0 of #p2panda has been released! 🌱 🥰

The star of the show is undoubtedly our new Node API ✨

If you've been dreaming of an out-of-the-box #p2p stack with built-in networking, discovery, bootstrap, #localfirst sync, event streaming, causal ordering, storage and more...this one's for you!

Here's an example of a simple, collaborative TODO list CLI application for a first taste of the new Node API in action:

@CCC ich bin auch enttäuscht, dass sich die Grünen nicht generell gegen allgegenwärtige Überwachung stellen 🫤 Menschlichkeit verliert immer mehr an Wert 🤦‍♂️

The world's first Fedify book, Practical Fedify: Introduction to ActivityPub Microblog Development (実践Fedify——ActivityPubマイクロブログ開発入門), has been published in Japan. This is also the first book I have ever published, and it feels quite surreal that my first book is in Japanese rather than my native language, Korean. This book is an expanded version based on the official English Fedify tutorial, Creating your own federated microblog, with various additions. Yumetsuki Mama (ゆめつきママ) worked on the cute book cover illustration, which features the Fedify dinosaur mascot, Misskey's mascot Ai-chan, and the Mastodon mascot together. It is scheduled to be published in both e-book and print formats on the 22nd by Impress NextPublishing. See also the Amazon Japan.
