Recent Notes
back in the day a saw some video of erlang-punch https://github.com/erlang-punch/nostr
Japanese developers thought it was useful to create an experience like Discord but then they did nothing
The thing is, we already have Discord...and it already uses on Erlang/Elixir.
Nostr devs need to focus on making something new that needs Nostr, especially now, 4+ years in.

Nostr developers are sleeping on the Elixir programming language.
Nostr (the WebSocket protocol) 🤝 Elixir (the language tested out to 2 million simultaneous WebSocket connections)

nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn immediately mentioned Go. 😂
You've got everyone trained.
@mleku I'm never going to write anything for Nostr in Go, because I known it'll never outperform what you've written.
I'm exploring other languages, though, so watch out! 😁

Thanks to my fine friends at @GitCitadel for sticking with it!
In the time it's taken us to get here, members of our team have variously moved homes, bought homes, changed jobs, and had a child, all while continuing to plug away at Alexandria—an hour here, an hour there—on the side.
We're taking stock of what we have, where we want to go, and what we still need to do to realize our vision.
We've made it exist, now it's time to make it good.
Onward!

A few months ago I had this thought:
"Ideas are like algorithms, recipes. They help us describe the world around us, interact with it and solve the problems that affect us"
When you read that, do y...
It makes sense, but I'd turn it around:
"Algorithms are like ideas", rather than "ideas are like algorithms".
Or to put it another way, all algorithms are ideas, but not all ideas are algorithms.

I am guilty of this, but I think there is something to be said of trying to understand something too complex in terms of something simple. I don't have much insight in to the workings of the brain wit...
I think the fact that we've created machines that reflect the image of our own minds does indeed make those machines a useful analogy.
To you point, we can use computers as an analogy to figure out what questions to ask about the human mind much the same way we can use a scale model of an aircraft to investigate certain flight characteristics of the full-size model.
The important thing is to remember which direction the analogy proceeds. Computers are like our minds, more so than our minds are like computers.

Something that grinds my gears is when people talk about the human mind as if it is like a computer.
It's actually the exact opposite.
The computer is like the human mind.
The ancients and medievals held that the mind consists of three distinct parts: memory, intellect, and will. Concepts are held in the memory and distinguished and judged by the intellect under the direction of the will.
Now consider computers. They have RAM (computer memory), a CPU, and programs. Data is held in memory and processed by the CPU under the direction of a program.
We made computers in the image of the human mind.
This makes the digital world a sort of secondary world populated by pseudo-intelligences that have no will of their own, but are directed by their human programmers. What happens in the digital world, then, reflects on us.
St. Bonaventure said that the human mind "can be led to the contemplation of eternal light by the consideration of its own self, irradiated and flooded as it is with such splendors." Let us consider how the reflection of the mind we have built in the digital world can lead us to contemplation of that which is eternal and true.

Are you basing the query structure off of an existing query language, or making a new one whole-cloth to fit with the Nostr filter standard?
This proposal converges with the ideas I was toying with; I could see it becoming a good standard to build against.

#nostrdev Has anyone built a relay around a graph database? Is there an appetite for such a thing?
@mleku do you have anything cooking in this space?
