Apache Thrift VS mnm

There are various notable implementations of RPC like Apache Thrift and gRPC.

No, that's a requirement on most business cases, my comment stated 'complex and dynamic web apps'. Re-rendering the whole page everytime the user checks a box or clicks a button is (a) terrible UX, (b) hard to track the state between page refresh, (c) wrong practice and (d) bad performance.

Sure, I should setup a complex and huge dependency for just one of the many problems I highlighted. What a great idea

Thus, we released Baseplate.py v2.1 with deadline propagation. Each request between Baseplate services has an associated THeader, which includes relevant information for Baseplate to fulfill its functionality, such as tracing request timings. We added a “Deadline-Budget” field to this header that propagates the remaining timeout so that information is available to the following request, and this timeout continues to get updated with every new request made. With this update, we save production costs by allowing resources to work on requests awaiting a response, and gain overall improved latency.

Here’s an example of the Thrift changelog. Knock yourself out. Or you can get your sense of productivity by actually doing something of value.

The biggest addition is native async reading via futures::AsyncRead and futures::AsyncSeek, which required a lot of (to be merged) changes upstream (changes to thrift rust compiler and parquet-format-rs). I placed those changes on a temporary crate until things are released there.

We were sharing instances of a Thrift TDeserializer across threads. We knew TProtocol was not thread-safe, but the TDeserializer constructor accepts a TProtocolFactory, so we naively assumed the deserialize method would use that to create a new instance of TProtocol for each invocation, but unfortunately, the TDeserializer constructor immediately creates TProtocol and stores it in a member variable, so TDeserializer is not actually thread-safe.

TMTP a Internet protocol combining elements of email and the web\ (3 comments)

And yet none of those corporations has displaced email, despite the fact that it has become a universal cyberattack channel, with a stagnant UX that doesn't address most real-world use cases for email!

I saw a need for a safer, better, decentralized protocol for email, so I drafted one (TMTP) and implemented client & server. More at:

The primary problem for email at this point is that it's a highly effective cyberattack channel, because it allows anyone, claiming any identity, to send you any content, without limits. This cannot be "fixed" as it's the intended function.

No one was working on an alternative that addresses this problem, so I drafted & implemented "TMTP".

Before ditching SMTP/etc, we'd need something to replace them.

TMTP (my work) is a candidate. More at https://mnmnotmail.org/

Well here's TMTP, a new email protocol, which uses a mix of text (JSON) for headers and binary for attachments.
