  • The models in my project have several ways of doing it. On the server side, there’s a function that accepts data from the DB, and a function that accepts data from the frontend. Same with serializing. One function to serialize the data for the DB and one to serialize for the frontend. On the frontend, it’s simpler, since it only sends/receives to/from the server.

    That’s mostly abstracted away in a top level class called “Entity”. It’s only if you need to do something special that you’d reimplement those functions. My data abstraction library is open source at https://nymph.io/ if you wanna check it out. It’s what runs my email service, https://port87.com/.



  • Right now, not very. Basically only open source software can run on it, and only if it’s either exceptionally portable or has been tweaked to compile for it.

    In the future, hopefully this is usable for general computing, but right now it’s basically only usable for R&D or niche applications.

    The path forward for RISC-V is getting it into more developers’ hands though, so having it available for really nice hardware like the Framework is awesome.


  • Well, kind of 3 companies.

    Intel and AMD both have rights to x86_64, since they both held patents used by it. In 2021, AMD’s patents expired.

    Then there’s ARM, which is solely owned by Arm Holdings.

    But yes, it’s still very much a big problem, and I really hope RISC-V succeeds to solve that problem. Licensing core designs is a much better motive and business model than licensing an entire ISA.

    Edit: oh wait, you said two architectures, not two companies. Never mind, you’re right. :)
