    J'ai parcourus très rapidement la documentation et dans l'ensemble cela me semble plutôt cohérent ; très loin des délires de Jayce.

    Idem et j'en retire la conclusion opposée, comme quoi... :D Quelques petites perles pour la route:

    Especially when Urbit is young, the level of trust that a child places in its parent is high. The trust implied by automatic kernel updates is almost infinite. You can disable updates, but that's nowhere near practical yet. (Ideally we will be able to freeze the Arvo kernel, like Nock, and turn off kernel updates; but this will take years at least.) [1]
    
    Atoms of the odor @f represent loobeans, where 0 is yes and 1 is no. Loobeans are often represented in their cubic and runic forms shown below. [2]
    
    One truism of CS is Knuth's observation that "premature optimization is the root of all evil." Yes, but premature documentation is at least the trunk of all evil. "Documenting into existence" -- making something that doesn't exist exist, by describing it -- is the trap of all vaporware projects.
    On the other hand, Urbit does exist. It doesn't need to be documented into existence. It does needs to be documented into completion. This doesn't mean simply describing the codebase. [3]
    

    C'est pas un vaporware, c'est une arnaque-ware.
