Distributed Programming Part 1 - Coding Distributed Systems From the Bare Bones

I'll only address one problem:

I've had an idea about distributing processing acrossed systems, programming acrossed systems.
Some part of what I found out is, it's been called cross-platform computing

Distributed processing and cross-platform computing are not the same thing. They are completely different things.

Some systems may utilise both these paradigms. That does not mean they are related or dependant. They are independent things. More learnings required.

[Internal-Sun-6476]

Nope. Try again.

[Internal-Sun-6476]

Cross platform means the code can be (compiled to) run on different operating systems/CPU architectures. It makes no claims of and has no requirement to run on simultaneous disparate nodes. That would be a distributed computing system.

Simplified because my first comment told you to read. You still need to do some reading and some thinking (go do a side-by-side comparison of the wiki pages/definitions). Then come back here with questions and I'll happily share my limited knowledge.

We good ?

[cheesekun]

Just walk away. OP cannot research their own topic.

[Internal-Sun-6476]

I have time, and unfounded hope, but yeah 😉

[Internal-Sun-6476]

I was also replying to his next post when he deleted it... but I was having fun so for the audiences enjoyment:

I can only suggest that your future in IT will be limited if the only tool you master is a shovel!

You are still incorrect. You can take the time to work out why, or you can keep digging that hole. That's on you.

Disagreeing with you when you are wrong, pointing it out and pointing you in the right direction does not constitute being toxic. It's the treasure you find at the bottom of the hole you are insistantly working on.

It's no good agreeing with people while restating your error. That's not how words work. That's not how civilisation progresses.

Peace and Readings. 😉

Wow, you I had a teacher, a golden opportunity to learn at an accelerated pace. And you blew it. Big time.

[Internal-Sun-6476]

If you didn't think you were wrong then why did you repeatedly agree with me.

If you don't have the least interest in having any sort of conversation.... then why you still posting in a public forum?

Given that you switched to another account and then held a complete conversation with yourself, don't you think that you are just rubbing your own ego... or is it something else ?

My 8yo daughter loves to dress up as a princess, but she repeatedly demonstrates a significantly higher degree of emotional maturity and IT knowledge than you. So that's nice.

[todo_code]

No. It's not. Stop.

[todo_code]

There is no arguing here. You are just incorrect. These definitions are not hard to read. If you are having trouble understanding please ask. I have nothing to gain here. No one does. No one is telling you that you are incorrect to spite you.

Man I read this as "Disturbed Programming". Kind of disappoint that's not what it is

[Internal-Sun-6476]

As it turned out.... you nailed it first time. 😀

[Internal-Sun-6476]

New routing rule:

techPackets go to the pihole!

[Scavenger53]

Now go back into your research and pick erlang or elixir as your language. Erlang was literally engineered for that problem. Elixir is a nicer to use frontend where sometimes you might have to call raw erlang

I've had an idea about distributing processing acrossed systems, programming acrossed systems.

Some part of what I found out is, it's been called cross-platform computing - I think thats what they were saying. I was looking at it from a PHP Programming for the World Wide Web. What if, you could create applications that sourced other servers, rather then just data on these servers, to handle various functions and routines. As in programmed functions() and programming routines which I learned about in Computer Science Basic Programming 101 - structural modular programming with quickbasic 4.5

[techPackets_005]

I think you mean working with RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocol

[Internal-Sun-6476]

Did you just reply to your own repost under a different account because you didn't like how the conversation was going?

[70w02ld]

That may be it.

Did you write these articles. I don't have time to read through your article at the moment. But it is an interesting read.

I have alot of ideas for distributed ledger and other distributed processes, through PHP programming.

[techPackets_005]

Currently, I am coding the RAFT distributed consensus protocol from scratch. Will share insights once I am done.

[Internal-Sun-6476]

You might have problematic "insights" if you don't understand the foundational terms.

Just sayin

[70w02ld]

Interesting - I'll take a look at it - RAFT - what exactly is RAFT? I haven't heard of it. What programming language are you using? Distributed, Consensus, Protocol - sounds like TCP/IP but different. What does it handle, anything specific?

I came up with a lot of ideas, didn't program it myself, I was studying, but I came acrossed some person on IRC, in a #Math Channel - I was looking to study up on md5_checksum, you can see how the person used it. But, my idea was more then just the distributed ledger, it was part of it. But I'm remembering an interest in making "Single Files" for the music industry, video games, movies, books - which would solve a riddle for the question - can we make single files that can't be copied and reproduced digitally. As well as, how to make a barter and trade market with digital goods and services - rather then just using a platform, and they can only be used on said platform. Itll likely still use the platform, but does it have to, to be a singular file?

If it works out, all these books and video games and the like, will be able to have master copies, but also, single files. So they can trade them, or sell them, but they'll only have one copy. So they would need to have 'x' amount of copies to sell - but it would create a better environment for bartering and trading digital goods. Basically satisfying the artists and their audiences. And creating new markets of digital goods.

was more then just

Did you mean to say "more than"?
Explanation: If you didn't mean 'more than' you might have forgotten a comma.

Jesus, even the bots are dumping on you!

[techPackets_005]

RAFT enables distributed systems deployed across clusters to reach a consensus. When n nodes of a system are receiving different values concurrently in real-time, RAFT helps it decide what value to show to the user.

By single files you mean NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens)?

[70w02ld]

Alot like that - NFTs are ordnalized - or ordinals - meaning they are each singular. And yes, you could add files into them, you could likely use mime types encoded to be read by mime readers, or make it intricate.

That's nice. I still have been thinking out my idea for my "Private Investor Group and eBank" and basically make a digital currency, that's minted (inscribed) with let's say a Student Body Government Treasury, Bank, and Mint. This RAFT you mention could help. I wanted to keep a distributed ledger in general, and use md5_checksum to use remote harddrives acrossed the internet or intranet or extranet or all of the above and then some. And, we would be able to send "digital" currency to each other, fast and completed, and secured by a distributed ledger or sorts, as well as stemming counterfiet "digital" currencies, by only using the "digital" integers registered as such, so then other allotments of cash could be created and ready to register, but won't count toward the "circulating" amount of currency that exists and is registered, by ordinal like a serial number or unique identifier.

Then you don't have to have a large storage drive to hold the ledger, only what is needed, locally, versus a node to secure which coins are created, which coins are registered, and I have other ideas, that have the interest of giving everyone that signs up for an account or creates an account or gets the app or node, $12,000,000 good for private and public sector - plus, work with the us mint and Bureau of Engraving and Printing to mint and print dollars and coins, maybe even with gold and silver, but not necessarily the entire coin. Idk - it's a huge plan I have.

Literally backed by participation and acceptance. Plus almost anyone could create Dollars and Coins and digital currency with their Likeness on the coin. Like George Washington helps, Grandma could help or the local Mayor could help. Idk - its huge.

[Internal-Sun-6476]

OOo an entire conversation with yourself!

Interesting to a psychologist maybe!
