Programming work is fun! Which is fortunate, because otherwise we wouldn't often work on the weekends.

These progress reports can be read at two levels. I try to put in some information in that can be understood by everyone, but a lot of the content is aimed at other Hive programming groups, so they are

Generally speaking, I've found scalability of postgres to be much better than that of hived for social data. And it's also a much friendlier/safer environment for programmers who aren't aware of all the

It's a known issue with hivemind. Hivemind runs two blocks behind hived to avoid microforks, because it doesn't know how to handle fork resolution properly (it never has). Part of the change we're working

Vote expiration is planned for HF25.

We've just about finished all the changes to hivemind and associated frontends like hive.blog and peakd now.

Most service-based companies are financially motivated to get new employees working quickly, because that work directly contributes to the company's revenue (they represent billable hours to the company).

Yes, but we are actively seeking new programmers and system admins in Poland.

When a small team is working together in the same space, it's very useful to be able to easily ask a simple question or initiate a design conversation whenever the need arises without needing to arrange

The majority of our programmers nowadays work out of our Polish office. I'm in our US office, so I mostly communicate with them via rocketchat and online video conferences. We communicate in English as

It's something I only know about in the most abstract sense, I haven't looked into it much yet.

Changing the window seems to be most everyone's top priority. That's what we're looking at tackling as part of HF25.

Finishing up current hivemind work should be done in less than a month, in fact hopefully within a week or so. There will still be work done afterwards, though, as we'll schedule future work for it too.

I'm probably not the best to give git advice, but there should be plenty of git-savvy people on Hive devs discord, at least, if you want to use discord. I'd also suggest joining the Mattermost for Hive

From what I've been told, "when vacation" is likely to be sometime in 2nd to 3rd quarter of next year, based on current travel issues.

Lucky you! There's more in my state.

My best guess is that the node is timing out when doing the transaction and you're just getting an erroneous error, maybe because it's too loaded. But it's hard to say without analysis. First step would

I argued forever with Steemit guys forever to put more focus on the user interface, so I don't disagree with it's importance. But I also argued with them forever that they couldn't operate with a blockchain

Nope, you haven't missed it. We've just been so busy working on finishing up current work we haven't had time to write down the plan for things to work on next.

No, it's completely unrelated. That error is generally associated with an improperly serialized transaction. What application are you using to create the comment?
