nicolagreco··on Distributing NixOS with IPFS
It is incredible that just today I posted this on github: https://github.com/ipld/ipld/issues/16

Structs/Traits already exist in some form that is not well defined yet, what you are describing is a generalization of what is happening with Ethereum right now, we have eth-block being a IPLD "Format", which is basically a struct with some particular characteristic where the parser instead of being written in a IPFS VM language, it is written and executed as part of the daemon.

The idea that you have described above or a subset of it, it's part of the plan!

Please do participate in the issue that I linked you to!

nicolagreco··on IPFS is the Distributed Web
This is about IPLD (so data linking to each other instead of files, but the concepts are the same): https://github.com/ipfs/pm/blob/master/meeting-notes/2016-09...

Also, you can use relative paths :P

nicolagreco··on A Conflict-Free Replicated JSON Datatype
wouldn't a string just be a list of chars?
nicolagreco··on Towards the future RDF library
yes, let me know!
nicolagreco··on Principles of a Decentralized Web
I look forward to see what will happen with bittorrent.
nicolagreco··on Principles of a Decentralized Web
It's very interesting what you said.

I only discussed what matters to the user (control, interoperability and portability) - extending the list with technical perspective will then come soon.

nicolagreco··on Principles of a Decentralized Web
Thanks a lot for sharing your point, I am a strong supporter of ethereum too.

Whoho, this is very great. Keep it up Paul!
nicolagreco··on HTML6 Concept
We might need namespaces for webcomponents purposes probably

You just spot a nice bug! I posted as soon as I completed 1.0.0. I will absolutely update this no!

Update: solved in 1.0.2 :)

nicolagreco··on A link to tell people when you are awake (get your handle with a pull-request)
This is a good insight! Thanks
nicolagreco··on Every open source project will eventually die*, but will inspire others
(*) tech move too fast for a community to be forever young & enthusiast

Thanks!

Obviously it does. Just put the North Korea timezone!

We don't stream straight away from github. But yes, the idea is that the database is made directly by the people contributing to it
nicolagreco··on A link to tell people when you are awake (get your handle with a pull-request)
Thank you dottorblaster. The aim is to be "The (eventually) biggest crowdsourced database of when people are awake"

nicolagreco··on Node-iMessage – Query iMessage from terminal and Node.js
You have a good point, updated.
nicolagreco··on Node-iMessage – Query iMessage from terminal and Node.js
Thanks everyone for the support. Not sure about `innovation`, but hope this abstracts iMessage nicely for developers that want to focus on the main product ;) or want to do quick and dirty little hacks, My 2c.
nicolagreco··on Node-fxos – Node Libraries for FirefoxOS Development
This are the set of tools that I developed in Mozilla this Summer to improve the development experience for FirefoxOS.

Example of usages that I envision are: deploy and reload CSS without webIDE, bind FirefoxOS console to your terminal, gulp automation.

Here is more: http://nicola.github.io/node-fxos/

nicolagreco··on Why Auroracoin will be huge
I think this is a very great idea. I have a feeling as well that it will be copied soon in different states. The only question I have is what if citizens in Iceland claims their aurcoin? But apart from that this is a again a genius way to bring people into cryptocurrencies
