aleph comparison notes

paper

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.05156.pdf

tl;dr (from an incomplete reading)

NB: I read this over the weekend and am probably confused on some of the points, but I wanted to get what I did retain down before I forgot.

Aleph is a fully asyncronous multimode protocol for building a blockchain-style over a DAG of “units”.

A unit is a list of parent signatures, a list of transactions, and some other metadata. A unit must point to other units from other nodes that are in prior rounds. This is the DAG, pointing back to some genesis unit. Once a unit is produced, it is broadcast using RBC over all units.

-module(bb_wav).
-export([
load_sounds/0, load_sounds/1
]).
-define(default_path, "sound_data/").
load_sounds() ->
load_sounds(?default_path).

talk on the politics of introducing beam services at jvm shops.

how to replace the jvm and win

  • the business side of things is completely terrible
  • executives at big companies can totally ruin your company, and not care, when they acquire you
  • just went ahead and rewrote it, whee
  • identify the target
  • don’t let people know what you’re doing at first or try to convince people beforehand
    • 1. show, don’t tell
    • 2. forgiveness, not permission
  • people get locked into the JVM mindset
  • 100% political problem
