riston··on Decentralized Web Primer
Not sure but didn't get any information about how the data is stored between the nodes. Does each node keep full state and synchronize when connected to the network(similar to blockchain), or is the data split between available nodes? Could someone clarify the storage part?
riston··on Cloud Firestore: A New Document Database for Apps
I do like the new solution more than the Realtime Database, but I see only this solution to fit smaller scale. Applications with heavy write could get really expensive. Also, the standard plan has only "Maximum write rate to a document 1 per second". The write is currently three times expensive operation as read hopefully, this would be lowered in future.

riston··on An Introduction to GraphQL via the GitHub API
I definitely like the GraphQL idea, it has been out from since 2015. But the adoption and real-world application usage of GraphQL is quite low. What's the reason is GraphQL too raw or too complicated to get started with to replace REST APIs ?
riston··on CS 20SI: Tensorflow for Deep Learning Research
Are the videos also somewhere or only slides and notes are shared?
riston··on A list of headless web browsers
Most of the tools listed use PhantomJS or QT core browser as the base. The problem is that PhantomJS doesn't support many new API-s or the rendering is different.

There is also headless chrome browser in development, not sure if there are any prebuilt binaries out there?
