$100 today and $100 in a year are not the same thing.

If you want to sell me $100 in the future for less today, that's something worth considering, but that wasn't the deal depositors had.

How is the panic "unnecessary"? Are you saying that if your personal bank told you that you could get your money back, but just not right now, that you'd be ok with that?

Liquidity is a key feature of banks and it relies on trust. Without it, they have nothing. Trust isn't some ancillary thing for a bank. It is almost everything.

The boundary in Zig is clear, certainly clearer than in C or C++. Unsafe pointers that allow pointer arithmetic have a special type and are far less common than in C++ (and obviously C). Other unsafe operations are clearly grepped, which is not at all the case in C and C++. It is also a much simpler language than C++, which may offers easier understanding and review.

The problem with eliminating unsafe code altogether is that doing so has a cost that, in some situations, is not worth it. Sometimes it's a runtime code in memory footprint or CPU resources; sometimes it's a cost in code complexity or development speed, which may have an adverse impact on correctness, which is the real thing we're interested in.

Finding the sweet spots among the various options can only be done empirically, and because Zig is so different (it's as different from C as it is from C++ and as different from either as it is from Rust) there's nothing we can extrapolate from. Because it is its very particular combination of features (and lack thereof) that is its message, those who look at a particular aspect and say, oh, this feature is like language X, therefore Zig will have the characteristics of X, completely miss what Zig does. It tries to strike a particular balance between the compiler, the human reader, and the tooling and development experience that can only be considered as a whole.

I have no idea if Zig is "good" or if it will be successful -- only time will tell -- but I find the language so refreshing and fascinating because it is a radical departure from everything we've seen in that space in quite a long time. There is no language with a similar mix of features (and lack of features).
I live in the rust belt, where cars only look new for the first 3 years or so. After that, they are 100% guaranteed to have chips in the paint from 18-wheelers throwing rocks, rust on the frame/fenders from the salt, and dings from other people parking 6 inches from your door.

And if you own a prius in the midwest, it's not a matter of IF someone will key it in the parking lot of home depot, it's a matter of WHEN.

FDIC being involved doesn't actually mean you lose everything above 250k. Assuming that the bank's problem was liquidity, and not fraud, it's very likely that no depositor will end up taking a haircut.

Just remodeled my kitchen and I don't have space in my tiny place for a washer.

So, I went with Kingsfors shelves system (similar [0]) instead of cabinets and one of the inserts is this drying rack [1]. Ends up serving kind of as a storage system too.

Really happy with it. I don't understand why people build cabinets around their shelves... you have to open doors to get at things and memorize where everything is at, which is really not optimal.

> Then the bank could make money by providing services to their customers.

Which services? And those services would need to be something that I can only provide by being your depositor (otherwise I'll get beaten by someone who provides those services without the added burden of holding and securing your physical money.

You've basically designed a system that increases the costs of being a bank, and eliminates the main source of profit, and hand-waived over how to close that gap.

I suspect it's simply unprofitable to run a bank in the model you've provided. I suspect the only way to make that system work is by saying "banking is a public good, it's OK if it runs at a loss" and making it a gov't provided service. I don't really see a path to private banks existing in the model you outlined.
When I was younger I loved shows like Modern Marvels on History Channel that presented the engineering behind the various amazing everyday things that we take for granted in a format accessible to the layman.

The sidekick notepad is a pretty nice idea, but $32 + $12 shipping is a lot for a 60 page pad.

I've been using a Notsu dot-grid landscape notepad (great paper!) but it's 8.5" x 5.5". I just wish it was larger. The Sidekick looks like a pretty nice size...

How hard is it to get custom pads made? I'm guessing non-standard dimensions are a bit of a blocker when you only want to order a dozen or two.
You say all that like it's a problem. If I run a gay furry porn instance, like wall to wall kitsune dicks, why should anyone federate with me? If you want fox dicks you come to my server. If you don't you avoid my server.

You shouldn't have to see a bunch of raunchy furry gifs at work to decide you don't want to see those and block me manually. Federation should be a totally voluntary thing between servers. Only instances with compatible policies should federate.

Accessing the whole fediverse should only ever be a client problem in logging into multiple instances. Instances shouldn't be expected to just federate with everyone.

A company with 26 people, each making $120k (pre-tax), or a company with 51 people, each making $60k/yr pre-tax is enough to miss payroll this week if there's only $250k to draw from, and that's not accounting for any other expenses (like, say an AWS/GCP bill, though hopefully you're net-60 with them). CEO/CFO's also now got two weeks to come up with another $250+k in a complex environment.

>and more success in life.

There's merit in the idea that stupidity correlates with success. Anecdotally you see the correlation among academia and celebrities. Celebrities are richer and happier then academics who are poorer but smarter. Therefore doing something that contributes to your stupidity could possibly increase your success and happiness.

What anecdotally makes you think that cognitive decline contributed individually to your success? I'm curious.

I too value my happiness and wealth over my intelligence, and I would gladly take a stupid pill if such a pill made the trade off between the two attributes.
Why does it seem the perception of the tech industry is that products are just useless devices (like what you mentioned) or scams, that its employees are lazy and entitled, and basically it's all just a giant bubble of alof elites.

The same traits are present with every industry. How many BS oil fields are funded but turn out to be over hyper. What about real estate scams?

Right wing media has done a great job of changing the conversation from big oil to big tech and many people here are helping, maybe with geniue intention, but foxnews or whatever is attacking tech because it's mostly liberals not because they are concerned with the industry's practices
This might be the one guideline that makes me uneasy. I get why it's in place - some people will call anybody that disagrees with them a shill or whatever - but to pretend it isn't happening while it so obviously is feels a bit immoral. At the very least, it's certainly complacent.

Yes, the companies will be screwed but that’s not what I meant.

What I meant by VCs have a tiny fraction of their fund as cash is that cash is held by LPs and is called upon only when the VC funds a startup. When a VC raises a $1B fund they don’t get the money, they get commitment that the money will be available. So this means that this failure shouldn’t affect VCs ability to invest in the future as most LPs didn’t hold their money in SVB.

I find it amusing that, when asked to give a defining characteristic of systems programming, key figures behind C++, Rust, D, and Go gave radically different and unrelated answers: "client applications," "resource-constrained applications," "cloud infrastructure," and "unsafe pointer casts."

If anything, a more practical definition is "only C and C++ are systems programming languages, by fiat, because it's an artificial category whose historical roots have long since lost pertinence."

Surely having your reserves locked up in assets that you can't sell without taking large losses is a known risk?
This is always the argument from supply-side conservatives, but much like how supply side economics never holds up to real strutiny, this ‘liberal cities are dying’ narrative doesn’t hold up either. Outside of liberal enclaves in conservative states (Austin), the fastest growing economies are all liberal coastal cities. It’s where educated people go to study and want to live.

> Imagine you were designing the bank from scratch having no knowledge of the current banking system. How would you do it? The most obvious thing would be if a customer deposits money, you would hold 100% of the money 1 to 1 exactly how they deposited it. Then the bank could make money by providing services to their customers.

Now imagine you've finally settled on a cost structure that can pay all of your insurance, operating costs, payroll, and everything else. You charge monthly fees and you might also charge per-interaction fees to do anything or talk to anyone.

Then a competitor comes along that operates in a fractional reserve manner. They not only offer zero fees, they actually pay customers interest to keep their money in the bank. There is a risk of failure, but it's rare and all evidence points to customers not suffering massive losses when it does happen due to various regulations. Inconvenient, yes, but it's unlikely that you're going to lose all of your money.

The majority of your customers would leave for the competitor bank.

It "renders" all child components if their parent renders in order to check if their props have changed or not.

If the component has not actually changed, it does not actually re-draw it.
1:1 banking essentially guarantees long-term loss of principal for depositors, albeit slowly. The main "service" a bank would provide in that scenario is holding onto your money for you and instead of paying interest on it, charging you a few percent per year to hold onto it for you.

Also, in your model, where does money for loans come from? How are borrowing costs impacted by a major source of funds for loans going away?

I was a software developer for 3 years and decided it wasn’t for me as I enjoyed the outdoors much more. I had enough savings to take 6 months off where I took time to read books and try and discover something else I was excited about. I had a short stint in writing, and ended up very interested in agriculture. I then spent the entire next summer working on organic farms and traveling.

I eventually was running short on money, so started contacting as a cloud developer. I make more in six months as a contractor than I did as a full-time employee. I do not have benefits, but happen to be married to someone that does.

I have a greater appreciation for software after taking a six month break and working hard labor. I also realized how much I enjoy being an engineer. My plan now has been to contract six months on six months off for the inevitable future.

It’s been absolutely fantastic and am now exploring different types of engineering that fit my personality more. I also completed my career “flower” which taught me a lot about myself and my potential livelihood. I highly recommend that activity and got the idea from a book called “what color is your parachute?”
You already do this today with email for anything that isn't already swept away by your spam filter, i.e. by clicking "Mark as Spam". Over time, you end up having to do that less because the filter learns your preferences. You can also always go back into your spam folder and teach the system to unlearn something it shouldn't have in case it overcorrected.

It's not perfect, and there's a very real concern that spam filters are becoming increasingly biased, but (to my knowledge) the level of outrage around spam filters is much MUCH lower than that around platform "censorship". It's a stable equilibrium.
